Here's who Tahaad Pettiford and the Auburn Tigers will face in its 2025-26 SEC schedule

Here's who Tahaad Pettiford and the Auburn Tigers will face in its 2025-26 SEC schedule Here's a look at the path Auburn will take on its journey to another SEC championship?
The Auburn Tigers will look to repeat as SEC champions this season, but will need to do so with a new-look roster.
Auburn head coach Bruce Pearl successfully swayed guard Tahaad Pettiford away from the NBA draft, doing so by building a strong rotation around him with transfer portal pieces. The new-look Auburn Tigers are poised to win its third SEC regular season crown since 2022 and its third SEC Tournament title since 2019. Wednesday, the Tigers learned their path to their goals as the SEC revealed the conference schedule for each of its 16 member programs.
This season, Auburn will face Alabama, Arkansas, and Ole Miss in a home-and-home series. Auburn went 4-1 against those foes in 2024-25, going 2-1 at home and 2-0 on the road. Auburn took down Alabama in Tuscaloosa, 94-85, on Feb. 15 before the Crimson Tide got revenge on the Tigers on March 8 at Neville Arena, 93-91 in overtime. Auburn smashed Ole Miss in Oxford, 92-82, with the Rebels playing the Tigers much closer near the end of the regular season, but fell 62-57. Auburn faced Arkansas once last season, defeating the Razorbacks, 67-60, at Neville Arena in February.
Auburn will play a rather tame home schedule by hosting Kentucky, LSU, South Carolina, Texas, Texas A&M and Vanderbilt inside Neville Arena, and will face challenges by playing Florida, Tennessee, and Georgia on the road. Auburn will get a shot at defending national champion Florida, who ended a long home-winning streak last season on Feb. 8, and again crushed the Tigers' dreams in the Final Four, at Exactech Arena in Gainesville.
The exact dates, times, and network designations of these games will be revealed at a later date. Here is a breakdown of Auburn's 2025-26 SEC schedule:
Home-and-Away
Alabama
Arkansas
Ole Miss
Home-only
Kentucky
LSU
South Carolina
Texas
Texas A&M
Vanderbilt
Away-only
Florida

Ohio State football set for massive recruiting weekend. Here's all 17 players attending.

The Ohio State football program has welcomed several prospects to its camps over the last few weeks, and this weekend is the last official visit weekend for the Buckeyes. In total, there are a whopping 17 prep players being hosted by the OSU staff, so it's time to pull out all of the stops. Ohio State has had a few players announce their verbal pledges after going on an official visit over the last few weeks, and I wouldn't put it wouldn't be surprising at all if there were some more news coming out of this one as well. We know you are interested in exactly who is coming to the banks of the Olentangy, so we have the complete 17-player list for you. All but one of the 17 have received an offer from the Scarlet and Gray, and you can bet the players are checking things out just as much as the Ohio State staff is, at least all but the seven that are already verbally committed (notated below). Here's a look at all of the players -- and their 247Sports profiles -- expected to be on campus this weekend as the Buckeyes put a wrap on official visit season. We might be hearing some BOOM!s after this weekend to add to the 2026 class that is already one of the very best in the country. We'll keep an eye to the sky and ear to the ground to see what news and rumblings come out of this massive recruiting weekend, so don't stray to far away from Buckeyes Wire.
