Sunshine pumping only! Auburn played the then #2 team in the country, and only lost by a field goal. In doing so, that propelled LSU up to #1, costing Bama the top spot. Also, Auburn is the highest rated 2-loss team. Auburn’s two losses are to top-6 teams, who have one loss between them. The sky isn’t falling!
With LSU’s top 10 win, they just barely took the top spot in this week’s rankings. In fact, they pulled in fewer first place votes than Alabama (18 to their 20), but enough people slid in Ohio State above Alabama at #2 for LSU to get the overall #1 ranking.
