AUBURN, Ala. -- Since losing to LSU, the goal for Auburn has been to win each and every game, win the SEC and let everything else sort itself out. The Tigers did their part. And now, despite having two losses, it looks like they are one win away from reaching the College Football Playoff.
The new playoff rankings were released Tuesday, and following a 26-14 win over No. 1 Alabama, Auburn jumped four spots to No. 2 -- which means if the season were to end today, the Tigers would be in the playoff.
