No. 32: Auburn
Coach: Gus Malzahn
2015 record: 7-6
Projected 2016 record: 8-4
Circle the date: Nov. 26 at Alabama
Bowl trip: Texas
Why No. 32: Here’s something you rarely read about a Malzahn team: The defense will lead the way. Usually, his teams are driven by offense, but there are enough issues at quarterback and running back to turn attention to the other side of the ball. The defensive line is led by Montravius Adams and Carl Lawson.
