## Resource

On today’s episode of The College Loop, we react to the official kickoff time announcement for Auburn Football’s Week 1 showdown against Baylor and explain why this game could end up being one of the most important games of the entire 2026 season. We take an early look at the matchup, discuss why the opener matters so much for Alex Golesh and the Tigers, and break down what a win — or loss — could mean for Auburn’s momentum heading into SEC play. From quarterback expectations to national perception, recruiting buzz, and the pressure surrounding this new era of Auburn Football, there is a LOT riding on Week 1. Can Auburn make a statement right out of the gate against Baylor? Or is this game carrying more danger than fans realize? All that and more on today’s episode of The College Loop. - Follow the Socials: Dylan: https://twitter.com/yaboithetank https://www.youtube.com/@tanktalksmovies?sub_confirmation=1 TCL: https://twitter.com/TheCollegeLoop https://www.instagram.com/thecollegeloop/ https://www.facebook.com/thecollegeloop https://open.spotify.com/show/2AUNlqiaUbB6PQBZmAEZVY?si=f5e7da56d1a54274 - Check out the Merch: Feeling Loopy shirt: https://the-war-rapport-shop.myshopify.com/products/feelin-loopy-t-shirt TCL Dad Hat: https://the-war-rapport-shop.myshopify.com/products/college-loop-dad-hat - TAGS: #Auburn #AuburnFootball #WarEagle #FeelinLoopy #CollegeBasketball #CollegeFootball #Alex Golesh #ByrumBrown #StevenPearl #TahaadPettiford Learn more about your ad choices.
