Is it possible Auburn could be a Top 5 team and not win the SEC West

Ok how can Tennessee absouletly destroy Cal and Cal is ranked ahead of them in the BCS?

Oh and there is no way that Aurburn gets into the title game. BCS doesn't like them. If you might have forgotten they went undefeated in the SEC and get left out of the BCS title game a couple of years ago.

For the love of God implement a playoff system.

The computers have Cal ranked something crazy - like 3rd or 4th.

Auburn can make it to the title game. Right now they are the second best rankes 1-loss team. The biggest problem Auburn has is that they really don;t play anyone else that is going to be a quality win that might enable them to jump over people (unless they make it to the SEC Championship).
I am not trying to talk smack when I say that I think Tennessee has a better shot simply because they play LSU and travel to Arkansas. Of course the downside is that Tennessee could easily lose one or both of those games.

But I don;t think the BCS or anyone has it out for Auburn. In 2004 Auburn was barely in the top 25 to start the season, while USC and Oklahoma were at the top. All three went undefeated, but they just sort of stayed the same from the preseason rankings.
The team with the most to complain about the BCS is USC - for letting Oklahoma go the title game in 2003 despite losing their conference championship game.
