Getting back to football, is Auburn now a must win?
- Thread starter Seinfeld
- Start date
If we lose to Auburn, then we will finish 6-6 and that would be a cluster17 of a season for a team this experienced/talented.
Even 7-5 feels kind of like a failure with this group and we appear trended directly to that.

It's absolutely a must win game. Lose this and we're staring at a 6-6 record after a 5-1 start. Not bad enough for Leach to get fired, but there would be a lot of heat on him going into next year.
It’s been a must win for several weeks now. I personally hate Auburn with or without IB.
Of course it is. Home game against a bad team. Gotta win all those.
We lose this game and Cohen wont be the last person leaving the athletic department (assuming 6 wins). Leach's only life line would be to beat OM at that point. And let's be honest, that's pretty close to a must win game for Leach too now. A new AD an no fan support would be bad.
Not making excuses, but preseason everyone thought our schedule was so tough that 6-6 would be fine. ESPN had us ranked Top 20 in FPI, but still predicted a 6-6 finish. A&M and Arkansas obviously were not as good as predicted, but 7-5 is still a decent record against this schedule.
That said, losing to Auburn would be a big step backwards at this point.

11.5 point favorites. It’s absolutely a must win.
All games are must wins. I never heard of a must lose game.
The 2008 Battle for the Golden Egg being the exception that proves the rule.

Nothing has changed. It’s been a must win since the schedule came out.
Very much so. Lose this one, we are likely finishing 6-6 and Leach on the hot seat. Can't lose at home, at night, to bad teams - especially when you are considered a bowl team. I don't like expectations but they do factor into things.
It has to be a must win. Auburn is terrible and we are at home. I’m a big Leach fan, but he will start to lose me if we drop this game.
Absolutely it’s a Must Win.
Lose to AU and OM and we should be looking to make two new hires in the Athletic Department come December.
