Why is Auburn still ranked?

I think they have consistently stayed in the top 25 even after losing multiple games.

Because they are in the SEC west. Every team in that division is the best football team in the universe and could easily stomp the Packers, Patriots, and 49ers on the same day.

They have really high computer rankings. They are only ranked in the BCS standings. They didn't even get any votes in either the AP or Coach's poll on December 4, and they only had 15 points (unranked) in the final Harris Poll.

The fish. They were all out of grouper. Come on, you can't rag on me for putting sole instead of soul today, it is hard to pretend I am working today while watching football all day and having to wait to consume any beverages until I am done!
