Rankings from AP Poll

The 2016 Auburn Tigers football team will represent Auburn University in the 2016 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Tigers will play their home games at Jordan–Hare Stadium in Auburn, Alabama and compete in the Western Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). They will be led by fourth-year head coach Gus Malzahn.

Before the season

Previous season

The 2015 Auburn Tigers began the season as the preseason pick to win the SEC Championship and a berth in the College Football Playoff. There was also hype about junior QB Jeremy Johnson who sat behind Nick Marshall in 2013 and 2014, being a Heisman Trophy candidate. The hiring of Will Muschamp as defensive coordinator was a major success for the Tigers after Ellis Johnson was let go after a 55-44 defeat in the 2014 Iron Bowl.

The Tigers' season began with some shocking surprises. In a week one showdown against Louisville in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game, Auburn built a 24-0 lead, but Jeremy Johnson threw three interceptions and the Cardinals came back from 24-0 before finally falling to Auburn 31-24. A week later, Auburn played against FCS foe Jacksonville State, Auburn again had a rough outing from both Jeremy Johnson and the Tigers' defense. The Gamecocks almost pulled off one the biggest upsets in college football history if not for Jeremy Johnson's late touchdown to wide receiver Melvin Ray to force overtime. Auburn would win 27-20 in overtime. The Tigers would fall to 2-2 and 0-2 in SEC play after being defeated by LSU and Mississippi State. The Tigers defeated San Jose State and then got their first SEC win of the season at Kentucky.

After that win, Auburn would go on to lose four out of their remaining six games after beating the Wildcats. Those consist of home losses to Georgia, eventual national champion Alabama, Ole Miss, and a 4 four overtime loss on the road at Arkansas. Auburn's two only wins in that time were against Idaho and Texas A&M. Auburn would put together a second straight disappointing season with a 6-6 season and earned a trip to the 2015 Birmingham Bowl against Memphis. The Tigers beat Memphis 31-10 in Birmingham, giving coach Gus Malzahn his first bowl win and the team's first bowl win since 2011. Following the season, defensive coordinator Will Muschamp left the program to become the head coach at South Carolina, bringing many Auburn assistants with him. Kevin Steele was hired to be Auburn's new defensive coordinator.
