The 2005 Auburn Tigers football team represented
Auburn University in the
2005 NCAA Division I-A football season. Despite having four starters from the
2004 team selected in the first round of
2005 NFL Draft, Auburn finished the season with a 9–3 record, including a 7–1 record in the
Southeastern Conference. The Tigers shared the SEC Western Division championship with
LSU, but because the Bayou Bengals defeated Auburn 20–17 in overtime on October 22, the Tigers did not advance to the
SEC Championship Game. Head coach
Tommy Tuberville became only the third Tigers coach to lead Auburn to a fourth consecutive win over arch rival
Alabama when the Tigers defeated the Crimson Tide 28–18 at
Jordan–Hare Stadium on November 19. Auburn finished the season ranked #14 in both the
Coaches Poll and
AP Poll, with a #13 consensus ranking.[1]
