Auburn football program named 7th biggest brand in college football

While the Auburn football program may not be the most decorated of programs, it’s one that is nationally known throughout the world of college football. One half of college football’s most intense rivalry, The Iron Bowl, Auburn’s brand is more than just championships when it comes to football.

Champions of in-person recruiting, the Tigers are known for pushing the culture of the Auburn family, and the Plains is a place where finding separation between city and school isn’t very easy. Auburn football is about community, family, and hard work, as Bryan Harsin mentions every weekend with the Iron Men of the Week.

Today, Big Game Boomer on Twitter declared Auburn football to be the 7th biggest brand in college football. The Tigers fall behind six schools, only one of which is in the SEC (for now), in Alabama. Texas and Oklahoma take spots #2 and #4 respectively, perhaps part of the reason for their decision to abandon the Big-12 and move into the SEC.

Notre Dame takes the cake with the biggest brand, according to Big Game Boomer, and two members of the Big-10–Nebraska and Ohio State–fill the other two spots before Auburn. The biggest point of contention from fans seems to be the fact that BYU was placed in the #10 spot, above schools like Penn State, USC, and LSU.

All of the SEC schools were included in the top 50 biggest brands in college football except for Vanderbilt. With Bryan Harsin taking the reins of 2021 Auburn football, the brand is only changing and growing for the Tigers.
