Here we take a look at the 2017 Auburn football season and five games that could make or break the season.

Auburn football may have ended with a sour note against Oklahoma, but there is plenty of time to look ahead to the 2017 season.

While the 2016 college football season has been done for less than two weeks, there are already a dozen 2017 polls out, and they rank the Auburn Tigers from as high as 10th to as low as 18th.

While the 2016 season surpassed some expectations, it ended on a down note, with three losses in the last four games and a final ranking of 24th.

Looking ahead, here are the five games that will make or break Auburn’s 2017 season. The Tigers will need to win at least three of these games, and probably four, to justify its preseason ranking.
