To celebrate SportsCall’s 25th anniversary, we’re taking a look back at the 25 greatest Auburn football victories in the past 25 years.
Coming in at #17 is Auburn’s 2005 Sugar Bowl win over Virginia Tech:
- Weeks after winning the SEC Championship and capping off a 12-0 season, the Auburn Tigers were left out of the BCS National Championship and slated to play Virginia Tech in the Sugar Bowl
- Auburn would take a 16-0 lead into the fourth quarter and fend off the Hokies late rally to win the Sugar Bowl and finish their 13-game season without a loss
- Many consider the 2004 undefeated SEC Champion Auburn Tigers as one of the prime examples as to why Division I college football ultimately evolved into a four-team playoff in 2014
