As the much-anticipated Bowl Championship Series rankings came out Sunday, many Auburn fans saw something they never dreamed they would see.
Auburn was declared the No. 1 team in the country by the BCS system for the first time in school history, even though the Tigers sit at third in the Associated Press and USA TODAY polls.

Leading the way is quarterback Cam Newton, who surpassed Pat Sullivan's touchdown-per-season record Saturday.
