However, this past weekend, 6 teams under Auburn loss. They were able to sustain their position because everyone behind them loss, whereas during the Bama week, that wasn't the case for LSU.

Yeah, some people are treating this rankings as if they happen in a vacuum. If you lose and no one behind you loses, you will drop more than if you lose and a bunch of teams behind you lose as well.

LSU dropping 11 spots after losing to Alabama and Auburn dropping one spot after losing to Alabama can be compared one on one. You have to take into consideration all the other wins and losses in the rankings.
