Auburn football will not play in week six of the college football season, and will enjoy a much-needed bye week to rest and work on themselves at practice after dropping two SEC contests in a row to move their record to 3-2 on the season.

The SEC released its second official availability report of the week on Thursday, and Auburn football had a lot less names on it compared to Wednesday’s report. Texas A&M kept the same two players listed from the first report.

Auburn football's place within the USA TODAY Sports re-rank remains unchanged despite a wild weekend of upsets across college football.

Hugh Freeze is facing job pressure at Auburn following Saturday night's 20-10 loss to Georgia, his third straight setback this season and 11th overall in 12 games against nationally-ranked competition with the Tigers.

I gave Auburn 365 days of enjoyment, but Auburn gave me a lifetime of appreciation," Newton said as he prepares to join legends in Tigers' exclusive jersey retirement club.

USA TODAY released an update to its 2025 ALL-USA Football National Team Watchlist this week, and included five-star safety Bralan Womack, a five-star safety and a 2026 Auburn commit. He is having a great season as a senior at Hartwood Academy in Flowood, Mississippi, as a two-way player.
