Yeah, I’m stunned by this game. Auburn lost by 21 at home last week to New Mexico St.!!! I thought the Tide would roll easily in this one.

With you 100%. Washington might have done the same type of damage to their resume even though they're up 21-14 on a 5-win Washington State team.

I guess if Alabama, Washington, and Florida State all survive scares then it doesn't matter as much, but I'd still think that Oregon and Texas are the biggest benefactors. Hard for pollsters to justify one of the last impressions that voters all see in prime time.

Auburn burning that timeout early in the 2nd (even though they scored the very next play) could be a big part of this ending. Obviously the same for the muffed punt.
