Another week another win for Auburn. Like we said last week, the top six are somewhat impenetrable until they lose, so even though the Tigers whooped a top 30 SP+ team, they weren’t able to jump into the top tier.
Auburn is actually the second most agreed upon team in the entire pill, with all but four ballots sliding us in at #7. From the Rumble Seat (Georgia Tech), Inside NU (Northwestern), and College and Mag were the only ballots with Auburn at #6. I guess the blowout of State impressed A Sea of Blue (Kentucky) after State handled them easily two weeks ago, because the fellow basketball school voters put us at #5, ahead of both Ohio State and Oklahoma.
