    I like everyone else here do not see Auburn losing 2 SEC games. However losing one is always a possibility. While it may seem like we have no here is atleast another scenario that gives hope.

    Auburn beat LSU
    Alabama beats Auburn
    LSU beats Alabama

    Obviously the major flaw in this scenario is that Alabama would have to go 7-1 in the SEC. Not likely to happen with games against LSU, Auburn, Florida, and Tenn still coming. But hey you never know.

    How is the tiebreaker in the determined again if all teams go 7-1?

    I believe it goes to the the highest ranked team. I'm not 100% sure. Someone from the East could answer this question, seeing how it happens just about every year.

    I don't see bama going 7-1.

    Well, it's not over till it's mathamatically proven (but if recent history has taught us anything, it's that the winner of LSU/Auburn has gone on to win the West). But we need UGA and 'Bama to both knock off Auburn if we are to have a chance. And that's obviously only part I of the problem: Part II is us running the table.... And frankly, if we get shafted on calls against Florida and/or Tenn. the same way we did against Auburn, then we could be in trouble.

    Yes it is over, but we could still get a good non-BCS bowl.

    Didn't Auburn get a BCS game without going to the SEC Champ. game? If they could do it last year, why can't we this year? Remember, there's 5 BCS games this year, not 4 like last year.

    no I don't think they did. Florida did when Spurrior was there, only time it has happened.

    It's over unless Auburn loses two SEC games. That won't happen unless Auburn loses Cox. They are deep enough everywhere else.

    The chances of LSU capturing the West is slim to none.
