I'm not saying you should be worried, but you should at least understand the impact to the polls. I don't believe there is any reasonable way auburn wins the next two games. HOWEVER,

If auburn were to win the SEC with one loss, EVERYTHING hinges on how close you can get to tOSU in the human polls to allow the computers to vault you over. You should assume that IF you do your part, you will finish third behind FSU and tOSU. They might lose, but the odds are they won't at this point.

If FSU is #1, then it doesn't matter how far ahead of you they finish. You won't catch them, so it's all about Ohio State. YOU WILL NEED EVERY VOTE POSSIBLE IN THE HUMAN POLLS. It's not just about ranking in the final BCS, it's about the formula. The formula doesn't just look at who finishes where, it looks at vote totals.

auburn has more of a shot than I ever dreamed at this point, and it's an interesting conversation. We'll crush that conversation this weekend, but until then, I enjoy the speculation.

AU has no chance to jump undefeated OSU in BCS, none.
