Auburn's climb into the upper ranks of collegiate football powers began in the early 1950s. At the end of the 1955 regular season the Tigers would be invited to their third straight Gator Bowl. At the time there were only 5 bowls for NCAA to compete in. Auburn contended for the Southeastern Conference title throughout the 1955 football season. Their record was only blemished by a single loss and one tie. My e-book looks at the players, coaches and the era when the Plainsman, as some newspapers referred to them, made their rise in southern and national football polls. The text of my work also considers a primary incident that occurred near the conclusion of the 1955 Auburn season. It resulted in an unprecedented suspension for the Auburn Tigers, preventing the school from competing in bowl games.
