The '''Auburn Tigers football''' program represents [[Auburn University]] in the sport of American [[college football]]. Auburn competes in the [[Football Bowl Subdivision]] (FBS) of the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association]] (NCAA) and the [[Southeastern Conference]] (SEC).

Auburn officially began competing in intercollegiate football in 1892. The Tigers joined the SEC in 1932 as one of the inaugural members of the conference. They began competing in the West Division when the conference divided in 1992, doing so until the SEC eliminated divisions in 2024. Auburn has achieved 12 undefeated seasons and won 16 conference championships, along with 10 divisional championships. The Tigers have made 44 post season bowl appearances, including 12 historically major bowl berths.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/news/story?id=3836130|title=Prestige Rankings: Scoring system explanation|date=January 15, 2009 |publisher=ESPN}}</ref> With over 800 total wins, Auburn is the 13th winningest FBS program.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Winsipedia - Auburn Tigers football all-time record, wins, and statistics - SEC Conference |url=https://www.winsipedia.com/auburn |access-date=2023-12-06 |website=Winsipedia |language=en}}</ref> The Tigers claim two national championships; [[1957 Auburn Tigers football team|1957]] and [[2010 Auburn Tigers football team|2010]].<ref name="JordanHareSign"/>

The Tigers have produced three [[Heisman Trophy]] winners: [[quarterback]] [[Pat Sullivan (American football)|Pat Sullivan]] in 1971, [[running back]] [[Bo Jackson]] in 1985, and quarterback [[Cam Newton]] in 2010. Auburn has also produced 31<ref>{{cite web|url=https://auburntigers.com/sports/2018/6/11/sports-m-footbl-history-and-tradition-all-americans-html.aspx|title=AUBURNTIGERS.COM :: Auburn University Official Athletic Site Auburn University Official Athletic Site :: Football|website=auburntigers.com|access-date=December 23, 2021}}</ref> consensus [[All-American]] players. The [[College Football Hall of Fame]] has inducted a total of 12 individuals from Auburn, including eight student-athletes and four head coaches: [[John Heisman]], [[Mike Donahue]], [[Ralph Jordan]], and [[Pat Dye]]. Jordan, who coached from 1951 to 1975, led Auburn to its first [[College football national championships in NCAA Division I FBS|national championship]] and won a total of 176 games, the most by any Auburn coach.

Auburn's home stadium is [[Jordan-Hare Stadium|Jordan–Hare Stadium]], which opened in 1939 and becomes Alabama's fifth largest city on gamedays with a capacity of 88,043.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://auburntigers.com/news/2023/8/24/general-auburn-football-introduces-more-than-20-gameday-enhancements-for-2023-season | title=Auburn football introduces more than 20 gameday enhancements for 2023 season | date=August 24, 2023 }}</ref> Auburn's arch rival is in-state foe [[Alabama Crimson Tide football|Alabama]].

The Trophy's namesake, [[John Heisman]], coached at Auburn from 1895 until 1899. Auburn is the only school that Heisman coached at (among others, [[Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football|Georgia Tech]] and [[Clemson Tigers football|Clemson]]) that has produced a Heisman Trophy winner.

AU Football has won 12 conference championships (8 SEC), has had seven perfect seasons, and during the division of the conference, six outright Western Division championships (1997, 2000, 2004, 2010, 2013, 2017) along with three additional co-championships.<ref>{{cite web|year=2006|url=http://www.secsports.com/index.php?&change_well_id=2&url_article_id=194|title=All-Time Football Standings|publisher=Southeastern Conference |access-date=May 8, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051225130426/http://www.secsports.com/index.php?&change_well_id=2&url_article_id=194 |archive-date=December 25, 2005}}</ref> Auburn plays archrival [[University of Alabama|Alabama]] each year in a game known as the [[Iron Bowl]]. In the overall series with Alabama, Auburn trails Alabama 42–35–1, despite holding an 18–14 advantage in games played since 1982.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://theironbowl.com|title=Alabama vs. Auburn: The Iron Bowl|website=The Iron Bowl|access-date=May 16, 2023}}</ref> Of the 14 SEC member universities, Auburn currently ranks 5th in the number of SEC football championships.

Auburn completed the 2004 football season with an unblemished 13–0 record winning the [[Southeastern Conference|SEC]] championship, their first conference title since 1989 and their first outright title since 1987. However, this achievement was somewhat overshadowed by the Tigers being left out of the [[Bowl Championship Series|BCS]] championship game in deference to two other undefeated, higher ranked teams, [[University of Southern California|USC]] and [[University of Oklahoma|Oklahoma]]. The 2004 team was led by quarterback [[Jason Campbell]] ([[Washington Redskins|Washington Commanders]]), running backs [[Carnell Williams]] ([[Tampa Bay Buccaneers]]) and [[Ronnie Brown]] ([[Miami Dolphins]]), and cornerback [[Carlos Rogers (American football player)|Carlos Rogers]] (Washington Commanders).

Auburn completed the 2010 football season with a perfect record of 13–0 winning the SEC championship when they defeated the University of South Carolina 56–17, which set an SEC Championship Game record for most points scored and largest margin of victory. The Tigers went on to defeat the [[Oregon Ducks]] 22–19 in their first appearance in the [[BCS National Championship Game]] on January 10, 2011, in Glendale, Arizona. The 2010 team was led by quarterback Cam Newton, who became the Heisman trophy winner of 2010 along with multiple other awards.

Auburn completed the 2013 regular season with an 11–1 record by [[Kick Six|knocking off]] then-#1 Alabama. Auburn went on to defeat #5 Missouri 59–42 in the [[2013 SEC Championship Game]] to claim its eighth SEC championship. Auburn faced #1 Florida State in the [[2014 BCS National Championship Game]] at the Rose Bowl, falling to the Seminoles in the final seconds, 31–34. The Tigers finished the season with a 12–2 record and ranked #2 in the final AP and Coaches polls.

The BCS was discontinued in 2014 and replaced by the CFP, which organizes a four-team playoff and [[College Football Playoff National Championship|national championship game]].

;1957 season
{{main|1957 Auburn Tigers football team}}

The 1957 Auburn Tigers, led by coach Ralph "Shug" Jordan, finished with a perfect 10–0 record, marking the school's first ever SEC championship. Auburn was recognized as national champions by the AP Poll even though they were on probation and did not participate in a bowl game. This was the school's first recognized national championship. The 1957 title is shared with Ohio State, who was named the national champion by the Coaches' Poll. This was the first of only two times in the history of the AP championship that it was awarded to a team on probation not allowed to participate in a bowl game (it would occur again in 1974 with Oklahoma).

;1983 season
{{main|1983 Auburn Tigers football team}}

The 1983 Auburn Tigers, led by head coach [[Pat Dye]] and running back [[Bo Jackson]], finished 11–1 after playing the nation's toughest schedule. Their only loss came against No.{{nbsp}}3 Texas, who defeated the Tigers, 20–7. Auburn went on to defeat No.{{nbsp}}8 Michigan, 9–7, in the [[1984 Sugar Bowl|Sugar Bowl]]. Despite entering the bowl games ranked third in both major polls, and with both teams ranked higher losing their bowl games, the Tigers ended ranked third in the final AP poll. The New York Times ranked Auburn number one at the conclusion of the season, as did several other math system selectors. Later, the Billingsley Report math system retroactively listed Auburn at number one. The universally recognized national champions for 1983 are the Miami Hurricanes.

;1993 season
{{main|1993 Auburn Tigers football team}}

Head coach [[Terry Bowden]] led the 1993 team to a perfect season in his first year on the Plains. The Tigers were the only undefeated team in major college football; however, they were banned from playing on television or post-season games due to NCAA violations. Rival Alabama was sent to the SEC Championship Game as the substitute representative of the Western Division. Auburn finished ranked fourth in the nation by the Associated Press. However, Auburn was on NCAA probation in 1993 and ineligible for post season play.

;2010 season
{{main|2010 Auburn Tigers football team}}

The Tigers, led by head coach [[Gene Chizik]] and [[Gus Malzahn]], completed a 12–0 regular season record and defeated South Carolina in the 2010 SEC Championship Game. On October 24, 2010, Auburn was ranked first in the [[Bowl Championship Series|BCS polls]] for the first time in school history. On January 10, 2011, Auburn defeated Oregon in the BCS National Championship Game in Glendale, Arizona, 22–19. It was the school's second claimed national title, but their first undisputed title. Their quarterback, [[Cam Newton]], became the Tigers' third [[Heisman Trophy]] winner. He had a total of 2,854 yards passing and 30 passing touchdowns. He also rushed for 1,473 yards and 20 touchdowns. Auburn went on to have two first round picks in the 2011 NFL draft with Cam Newton going number one and [[Nick Fairley]] going 13th.

===Conference championships===
Auburn officially has won 16 total conference championships, including seven SIAA Championships, one Southern Conference Championship, and eight SEC Championships.

==Traditions==

===Tiger Walk===
Before each Auburn home football game, thousands of Auburn fans line Donahue Drive to cheer on the team as they walk from the Auburn Athletic Complex to [[Jordan-Hare Stadium|Jordan–Hare Stadium]]. The tradition began in the 1950s when groups of kids would walk up the street to greet the team and get autographs. During the tenure of coach [[Doug Barfield]], the coach urged fans to come out and support the team, and thousands did. Today the team walks down the hill and into the stadium surrounded by fans who pat them on the back and shake their hands as they walk. The largest Tiger Walk occurred on December 2, 1989, before the first ever home football game against rival [[University of Alabama|Alabama]]—the [[Iron Bowl]]. On that day, an estimated 20,000 fans packed the one block section of road leading to the stadium. According to former athletic director [[David E. Housel|David Housel]], Tiger Walk has become "the most copied tradition in all of college football".<ref>{{cite web |year=2003|url=https://www.espn.com/page2/s/maisel/031120auburn.html|title=The best Walk in America|publisher=ESPN|access-date=13 October 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071008075442/http://espn.go.com/page2/s/maisel/031120auburn.html|archive-date=October 8, 2007 |url-status=live}}</ref>

==="War Eagle"===
[[File:GoldenEagle-Nova.jpg|thumb|right|Nova, "War Eagle VII"]]
{{main|War Eagle}}
There are many stories surrounding the origins of Auburn's battle cry, "War Eagle". The most popular account involves the first Auburn football game in 1892 between Auburn and the [[University of Georgia]]. According to the story, in the stands that day was an old Civil War soldier with an eagle he had found injured on a battlefield and kept as a pet. The eagle broke free and began to soar over the field, and Auburn began to march toward the Georgia end-zone. The crowd began to chant, "War Eagle" as the eagle soared. After Auburn won the game, the eagle crashed to the field and died but, according to the legend, his spirit lives on every time an Auburn man or woman yells "War Eagle!" The battle cry of "War Eagle" also functions as a greeting for those associated with the university. For many years, a live [[golden eagle]] has embodied the spirit of this tradition. The eagle was once housed on campus in The A. Elwyn Hamer Jr. Aviary (which was the second largest single-bird enclosure in the country), but the aviary was taken down in 2003 and the eagle moved to a nearby raptor center. The eagle, War Eagle VI (nicknamed "Tiger"), was trained in 2000 to fly free around the stadium before every home game to the delight of fans. The present eagle, War Eagle VIII (nicknamed "Aurea"), continues the tradition. War Eagle VI is believed to be the inspiration behind the 2005–2006 Auburn Cheerleading squad's chant, "Tigers, Tigers, Gooooooo Tigers!"

===Toomer's Corner===
The intersection of Magnolia Avenue and College Street in Auburn, which marks the transition from downtown Auburn to the university campus, is known as [[Toomer's Corner]]. It is named after Toomer's Drugs, a small store on the corner that has been an Auburn landmark since 1896. Hanging over the corner were two massive old oak trees, planted in 1937, and whenever there was cause for celebration in the Auburn community, [[toilet paper]] could usually be found hanging from the trees. Also known as "rolling the corner", this tradition originated after Auburn upset No.{{nbsp}}2 Alabama in the 1972 Iron Bowl, The famous 'Punt Bama Punt' Game. "We beat the 'number 2' out of Alabama." Until the mid-1990s, the tradition was relegated to only celebrating athletic wins.

The oak trees were cut down by the university in April 2013, as a result of their being poisoned by Harvey Updyke Jr., a fan of rival Alabama.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/11323616/harvey-updyke-jr-excerpt-my-conference-beat-your-conference-paul-finebaum|title=Finebaum on college football's craziest rivalry|date=August 13, 2014|website=ESPN.com}}</ref>

===Wreck Tech Pajama Parade===
The Wreck Tech Pajama Parade originated in 1896, when a group of mischievous Auburn students, determined to show up the more well-known engineers from [[Georgia Institute of Technology|Georgia Tech]], snuck out of their dorms the night before the football game between Auburn and Tech and greased the railroad tracks. According to the story, the train carrying the Tech team slid through town and didn't stop until it was halfway to the neighboring town of [[Loachapoka, Alabama]]. The Tech team was forced to walk the five miles back to Auburn and, not surprisingly, were rather weary at the end of their journey. This likely contributed to their 45–0 loss. While the railroad long ago ceased to be the way teams traveled to Auburn and students never greased the tracks again, the tradition continues in the form of a parade through downtown Auburn. Students parade through the streets in their pajamas and organizations build floats.<ref>{{cite book|last=Barnhart|first=Tony|title=Southern fried football: the history, passion, and glory of the great Southern game|year=2000|publisher=Triumph|isbn=978-1-60078-093-6 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QR8MAAAAYAAJ&q=Wreck+Tech+Pajama+Parade|page=49}}</ref>

==Award winners==
A number of Auburn players and coaches have won national awards, including 66 players being named as college football [[College Football All-America Team|All-Americans]]. The Tigers also have 11 coaches and players who have been inducted into the [[College Football Hall of Fame]] in [[Atlanta]].
