Two weeks of the College Football Playoff rankings have come, and twice Auburn has been ranked in the same spot.
After a narrow 23-16 win over Vanderbilt, Auburn didn't move in the CFP rankings, as the Tigers checked in at No. 9 for the second week in a row.
With Texas A&M's 35-28 loss to Mississippi State last week, the path to the playoff has opened up for Auburn. If the Tigers win out — at Georgia this Saturday, at home against Alabama A&M the following week, and at No. 1 Alabama in the regular-season finale — they will claim a spot in the SEC Championship Game, and a win would likely vault Auburn into the top 4.
