The Auburn Tigers have made a nice comeback after a few tough seasons and now the team is ranked in the top 10 and has the chance to make some noise in the BCS and the SEC conference and they will out that on the line against the Tennessee Volunteers on the road at 12:00 pm noon on ESPN and streaming online with a live stream from WatchESPN at Neyland Stadium.
Auburn has the chance to even get into the national title conversation at some point, as they play against the Alabama Crimson Tide to finish the season and if both teams win out leading up to that game, it should be an amazing matchup. The two teams here have rabid fan bases and Tennessee will be rocking the stadium even if they are just 1-4 in the conference and 4-5 overall and Auburn comes into the matchup with just one loss and four wins in the conference and they are now 8-1 on the season and their best chance at getting into the SEC championship is to win out and defeat Alabama, obviously a very tough test. The team is coming into the game after a nice win over Arkansas that saw 118 yards from quarterback Nick Marshall and 168 yards from Tre Mason, who has been having a nice season for new head coach Gus Malzahn and now Auburn has the chance to do something special.
