These two teams have never met and Chris Peterson is a brilliant defensive mind but Auburn is a tough defense SEC team here. Auburn will have a sizable crowd edge in Atlanta and used to playing there.

I give Auburn the edge because it's a really a home game for them. That said, Wash U is well coached, is experienced and really only has one weak link - pass catchers. They lost 3 WR's and starting slot receiver and 3 tight ends to injuries last season and the Auburn secondary is one of the best in the country.
