Episode Details

Auburn’s 2025 slate lands just 17th-toughest nationally—10th inside the SEC—yet many analysts still call it the most manageable schedule the Tigers have faced in years. What makes it different?

This episode breaks down Phil Steele’s strength-of-schedule numbers, roster upgrades at quarterback and receiver, and the win total Hugh Freeze must hit in Year 3.
