There would have to be complete human disregard of computer rankings for AU to be left out.
I don't know about computer rankings, but Penn State got passed over last year for similar reasons. but like I said. no use arguing. We both have an opinion. I'm not trying to downgrade Auburn. I am just saying they won't, in my opinion, bump a two loss team over a one loss team. First, you will have to beat Alabama....which is possible.

We'll know more tomorrow evening. If AU is #6, it's inevitable if AU wins out.

The differences between Auburn’s potential 2017 case and Penn State’s 2016 case are simple.
Penn State’s two losses last season included a blowout to Michigan. Both of Auburn’s so far this season were by single scores on the road against currently ranked teams.
Auburn would also have a far better list of wins. The 12 teams that made the Playoff in its first three years all had good wins, but having three top-10 wins is pretty rare.
In fact, look at the trend-breaking team that made the Playoff in 2016.
Ohio State made it despite not being a conference champ because it’d beaten No. 6 Michigan, No. 7 Oklahoma, and No. 8 Wisconsin. Auburn’s best three wins would rank even better, since UGA would count twice.
