## Resource

Justin and Dan reunite on the mic to rank Auburn football’s 10 power-conference games for 2026 from easiest to toughest. Topics for this episode include: * Justin’s back from vacation * Dan’s not a Lakers fan (but wishes Walker Kessler all the best) * hey, that Narcisse Ngoy thing was weird, huh? * why the guys are unanimous about the weakest SEC opponent for the Tigers * how much does having a returning quarterback carry you in these rankings? * is DJ Lagway getting the Jackson Arnold treatment? * Mississippi State might be sneaky * trying to split the Florida and Vanderbilt back-to-back * will Tennessee or Ole Miss be a tougher road test? * a prediction about the Auburn-LSU day game * a surprisingly tough question about Alabama * the missing piece for Georgia’s machine * Justin and Dan recap the World Cup so far * who is older: Lionel Messi or Kodi Burns?
