Auburn, LSU could leapfrog into title picture
The first BCS rankings will come out this week and with no SEC team ranked higher than No. 7 in the AP or USA Today polls, its unlikely any will be in the top two. But ESPN BCS analyst Brad Edwards said Thursday that if Auburn or LSU stays unbeaten, don’t be surprised to see them leapfrog into the top two, regardless of who else loses.
“Obviously, the teams in the SEC everybody expected preseason would have a chance to be unbeaten were Alabama and Florida,” Edwards said. “I don’t think there is any question they would be in the thick of the national championship race if they were still undefeated. But with Auburn and LSU having started a little bit further back, teams like Ohio State, Oregon, Nebraska and Oklahoma have all moved ahead of them.
