It may simply come down to win total.

The Auburn Tigers are in a tough spot entering the 2022 season. Second-year head coach Bryan Harsin has a lot of weight on his shoulders in what already feels like a make or break type of year. Underneath the surface, things feel more positive. But the line to toe is still several yards away from where Harsin currently stands.

Objective? Survive.

The majority of the fanbase and national media has settled on eight wins. Eight wins to survive.

However, there are several areas past their win total that Auburn needs to be better in. In order for Harsin to not only be retained, but for the athletic department and the fanbase to feel good about things moving forward, more has to occur than just eight wins.

Here are five things that define a successful 2022 season for the Tigers.
