re: LSU #21 in AP and coaches poll, Florida 15/16 Auburn 18/19

It's still up in the air. While this poll does give us an indication of what the CFB playoff rankings will be in regards to LSU-Auburn, it's not the decider. CFB rankings very well could be different and even change over the next 7 days. Don't forget that coaches and AP are likely not looking at auburn LSU in a vacuum as it relates to the sugar bowl, while the CFB playoff committee rankings will take that into account and certainly be aware of the implications of ranking one over the other as well as the sugar bowls's preference all things being equal.

Don't forget there's still an entire week for the Sugar Bowl to let the CFB playoff committee know that it would prefer LSU ranked over Auburn and Florida. Although I don't think Florida is as big of a roadblock as auburn because Florida is likely to be eliminated in the race after getting beat by Bama.

Auburn is certainly the "favorite" at this point for the Sugar Bowl, but LSU is still in the mix. We shall see.
