Auburn in 2004 started at like 18


That's why they were left out the NC game

Contrary to popular belief, preseason polls are meaningful

That and a dream matchup between undefeated Texas and USC. It wasn't just because they started out so low.

It was Oklahoma and USC and being ranked so low gave them pretty much no shot to jump either one

AU's schedule was also pretty terrible OOC, which hurt them.

also the respect for the SEC is so high right now, you go undefeated and you're in.

Yea I agree, but having to make up a ton of spots is obviously a big disadvantage

my bad

and that was still the elite matchup. auburn could have started the season number 3 and they still wouldn't have jumped either team.

watching them lose 3 games this year is going to be pretty fun.

good luck Garrett Gilbert in holding on to that #5 ranking


What does this have anything to do with LSU being ranked #21. They won't be ranked at the end of the year anyways!

Wrong DBG.....Auburn could have started 4th or 5th and it would not have mattered...the media loves them some usc and texas and oklahoma and alabama and ohio state...just the way it is.

Or 3rd. I even think they could have started 1 or 2 that year and gotten jumped.


LSU's schedule sets up to where even if they started unranked, they'd be in the NCG by the end of the year if they go undefeated. If they start off 5-0, they'll likely be in the top 10.

any SEC team goes undefeated with one decent OOC game is going to the national championship game
