Ranking the Road Trips for Auburn Football This Year
No. 2 – Oxford
The Tigers will travel to Oxford, Miss. on October 29 to take on Ole Miss in what should be an entertaining matchup.
The Rebels will feature one of the top quarterbacks in the country in Chad Kelly.
Vaught-Hemingway Stadium seats just 60,580 people and is nothing special, but you go to Oxford for the tailgating.

Hopefully this will be a late afternoon game so fans have a chance to spend more time in the famous Grove. The Grove is possibly one of the greatest tailgating venues in all of college football.
Should-to-shoulder tailgating for several blocks with all kinds of commotion. If you haven’t witnessed The Grove in person, it’s definitely something to see.
ESPN’s College Gameday spent a Saturday in The Grove and it was one of the best shows they’ve ever done. Nobody does tailgating like they do in Oxford.
This could possibly be the most important game of the year for Auburn. The Rebels will have already played Florida State, Alabama, Georgia and LSU. If they come into this game with four losses they could already be folding it up, giving Auburn a chance for an upset on the road.
I’ve already said several times that Auburn will either have to upset Ole Miss or Georgia on the road to consider this a successful season. I think Ole Miss gives Auburn the best chance to get that big road victory.
The atmosphere in Oxford on a college football Saturday is second to none, so Auburn fans can’t go wrong making the trip this season.
