Modern History
While Auburn football has a long and storied history, the Tigers have been quite successful in recent years. Since the expansion of the SEC and the split into divisions, Auburn has been the second winningest SEC West team in league play since the conference realignment in 1992. As of the end of the 2011 season, Auburn teams have won 45 of their last 66 conference matchups including 20 of the last 32 SEC away games. The Tigers seem to perform best when facing their greatest challenge as, in addition to the success on the road in the SEC, Auburn teams have won 12 of their last 23 matchups versus top-10 opponents. The Tigers also have done well protecting Jordan-Hare Stadium, particularly at night where the home team has won 24 of the 29 night games since 2000. Over the five previous seasons, Auburn won 44 games (67.7%).
