Let's hope the CFP weasels don't wedge them in over more deserving teams.
What makes an Alabama loss more special unless you're an Auburn fan. I mean the #6 team beating the #1 isn't exactly Hoosiers.
Auburn has to beat Georgia to be in the playoffs. If they do that, they will have 2 wins versus a Georgia team that is pretty good (and has a road win over Notre Dame) and a pretty convincing win over Alabama as well. Yes they have two losses. A week one close loss to a probable 1 or at most 2 loss Clemson team on the road and a loss to a 9-3 LSU team on the road as well.
Also, Auburn appears to be playing better at year end, especially if they can beat Georgia, in Georgia, three weeks after beating them the first time.
Its not homerism to say that Auburn deserves to be there.

And I think Auburn's reaction was rather muted. Even Barkley was like "we got this".
Auburn wins next week, they'll deserve to be in the playoffs.
Quite frankly the win vs Georgia was a better resume builder this year.
