The second College Football Playoff rankings were released Tuesday night and Auburn stayed put in the third spot following a road win against Ole Miss on Saturday.
Filling out the rest of the top four are Mississippi State at one, Florida State at two and Oregon at four.
So, if the season were to end today, Auburn would be participating in this year's inaugural playoff by way of a match up against last year's national championship opponent Florida State.
Opponent wise, Auburn still has to face off against two top-20 teams in these rankings, both on the road. First between the hedges against No. 20 Georgia in two weeks then the Iron Bowl against No. 5 Alabama in the final game of the regular season.
