Auburn football could upset Georgia says CBS Sports


Will this season be the year that Auburn snaps its lengthy losing streak to Georgia?

Auburn football is in dire need of a successful season in 2025, one that hopefully ends with the snapping of a lengthy losing streak to an archrival.

Auburn football has dropped eight-straight games to Georgia, dating back to Dec. 2, 2017, when the Bulldogs beat Auburn in the SEC Championship Game, 28-7. It is the longest current losing streak Auburn owns, and CBS Sports feels Auburn’s rough patch could end this season.

Brad Crawford of CBS Sports recently listed his “biggest potential college football upsets” for the 2025 college football season, and has placed the Bulldogs on high alert for their game on Oct. 11 at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Crawford feels this could be a “trap game” for Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs, while detailing the magnitude of the game for Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze.

Sandwiched between home games with Kentucky and Ole Miss, the reigning SEC champions go to the Plains in mid-October in hopes of continuing their recent dominance in the rivalry series. For Hugh Freeze, this home game is as big as they come. Georgia has won eight straight against Auburn, dating back to a victory in the 2017 SEC Championship. The Tigers upended the Bulldogs a few weeks prior during the regular season, but that’s the program’s last win over Kirby Smart.

Auburn’s last win over Georgia came on Nov. 11, 2017, at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Auburn quarterback Jarrett Stidham passed for 214 yards and three touchdowns while Kerryon Johnson rushed for 167 yards in the Tigers’ 40-17 upset of the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs in the top-10 showdown. Auburn is 3-13 against Georgia since 2010 and is 7-19 against the Bulldogs since 2000. Before the millennium, Auburn built a 5-4-1 record against Georgia in the 1990s; however, Georgia’s recent dominance has allowed them to create separation in the all-time series as they now lead, 65-56-8.
