Auburn was the best 5 loss team in the country (ranked #13 by footballoutsiders combined metrics). Meanwhile we were the 11th best 4 loss team (#34).
I get it, Auburn played a tough schedule and played some really good team close as well as the win over LSU (the best 4 loss team). But there is something about losing your last 3, 1 to a bad team and two not close to really good teams, that makes me think maybe they shouldn't be ranked. Not necessarily the Cats over them, but still not ranked.
