Part 2/8:
Auburn has been mired in a disappointing season, but much like Kansas in the Big 12, the team still poses a significant threat despite their lackluster record. Kansas, for instance, has upset notable teams like Iowa State and BYU, creating a scenario where they are both a challenging opponent and a potential game-changer for others vying for postseason spots. With a record of 4-6, Kansas has become the last team opponents want to face if they have something to lose.
Similarly, Auburn finds itself in a comparably precarious position. Their ability to play competitively despite their record showcases the resilience and unpredictability often seen in late-season college football. As they close the season, the potential for shocking the favorites remains high.
