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.

Could be. If you beat Alabama, then Clemson and Miami play each other, that would be two teams ahead of you getting beat.

I'm not saying you can't. It would just surprise me greatly. That said, I have been surprised greatly more than one time in my life!
