Appears in this episode
Justin, Painter and Dan open the show by discussing Auburn’s player representatives for next week’s SEC Media Days in Nashville. They talk about why this trio is both surprising and on-point with what the Tigers will want to project heading into Year 1.
After a breakdown of new 2024 commitment Malik Blocton and a plan to have some special food-based bonus podcasts in the future — by listener request — the guys create their own confidence meters for Auburn football’s 2023 SEC schedule. They each assign points, from 1 to 8, on how confident they are in the Tigers’ chances of winning for each conference matchup.

Feel like including Cal and ranking all P5 opponents would be fun as well.
Vandy - 9
Miss St - 8
Cal - 7
Ole Miss - 6
Arkansas- 5
Tamu - 4
Lsu - 3
Alabama - 2
Georgia - 1
At Texas A&M: 2 - Jimbo badly needs this one
Georgia: 4 - This is more about Georgia than Auburn. What’s the mindset of a team that’s likely won 20 straight and hasn’t been challenged by Auburn in years? If they sleepwalk, Auburn could pull an unlikely upset.
At LSU: 1 - Death Valley hasn’t been kind to Auburn.
Ole Miss: 6 - the easiest of the toss-up games.
Mississippi State: 8 - I don’t think Leach’s success will carry over to a new coaching staff.
At Vanderbilt: 7 - Auburn should just be better.
At Arkansas: 5 - The tougher of the toss-up games. Timing of this game is also poor as Arkansas will likely have time to get its staff on the same page. And Arkansas talent is equal or better than Auburn.
Alabama: 3 - It could still surprise me, but just don’t know if Auburn is where it needs to be to compete with Bama.
