Auburn-Tennessee Series Prediction

Auburn (11-7) at Tennessee (17-1)
This series has been dominated by Auburn over the last 30 years with the Tigers winning 18 of 21 series and owning a 44-19 lead in regular season games played. Auburn has won the last five series since Tennessee last won in 2011 in Knoxville. The Volunteers’ only other home series win came in 1996. Auburn has five series sweeps in the last 16 series, while Tennessee has never swept the Tigers. In fact, Tennessee has only won three consecutive games over Auburn once since 1948 and that was the final game of the 1974 series and the first two of the 1975 series.

Auburn is riding a four-game SEC winning streak for the first time since it opened the 2019 season with four straight wins. It hasn’t won five consecutive league games since 2011. This is the sixth SEC winning streak of four games in the last 10 seasons. The Tigers are 7-3 since starting conference play at 4-4. The 11 conference wins are the most after six weeks since it had 12 at the same point in 2017. Auburn has won four of its last five SEC road series dating back to last season.

Tennessee is off to the best conference start in SEC history at 17-1. It bettered the previous mark of 16-1 held by the 1951 Tennessee team. The best span with one loss in SEC play was Vanderbilt’s 22-1 mark in 2013. The Volunteers have won seven straight series overall and 14 of their last 16. UT has registered 17 or more conference victories for the second time in the last 16 seasons (2021 with 20 wins). It’s the first time since 1993-96 that it has recorded 17+ SEC victories in back-to-back seasons. The school record for SEC victories is 24 set in 1994 and the record for conference wins is 26 set by Vanderbilt in 2013. (Source: SEC)

Tennessee is a juggernaut this season. They won’t lose an SEC series this season but Auburn might steal a win like Alabama did a couple weeks ago.

Tennessee 2 wins, Auburn 1 win
