Auburn football could completely change its 2026 season with another massive upset against LSU! After shocking Georgia in Athens, can Alex Golesh and the Auburn Tigers defeat Lane Kiffin's LSU Tigers and enter the College Football Playoff conversation? On today's First Call, Brad Law and Christian Rauh break down what an Auburn victory over LSU would mean for the program, whether the Tigers have a legitimate playoff path, and which players must step up Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Auburn's victory over Georgia changed expectations for Alex Golesh's first season. But beating LSU could change how we evaluate this entire roster. With Byrum Brown leading the offense, Auburn has shown it can compete against nationally ranked opponents. We discuss why the Tigers' offensive improvement, defensive development and remaining schedule could create an opportunity for a historic finish. But is LSU actually a more difficult matchup than Georgia? LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt presents a different challenge with his mobility and ability to stretch the field. Auburn's defense must adjust after successfully limiting Georgia's rushing attack. We examine why Elijah Melendez, Bryce Diaz and Jared Smith could be critical to DJ Durkin's defensive game plan. LSU's passing attack also creates questions about Auburn's secondary, particularly with the potential involvement of massive receiving target Trey'Dez Green. Offensively, Auburn needs another strong performance from Byrum Brown while finding opportunities for Chas Nimrod and Keshaun Singleton. Could LSU's defensive attention on Nimrod create a breakout opportunity for Singleton? Brad also identifies his biggest Auburn X-factors and makes his prediction for Saturday's showdown. If Auburn beats LSU, is it time to seriously discuss the College Football Playoff? #AuburnFootball #WarEagle #LSUFootball
