Could it turn out to be 2004 for Auburn all over again? There is still a lot of season left to be played.
It could be 2004 all over again. Two teams start 1 and 2. They don’t lose. Everyone else left out. But it could be even worse.
Here’s the list (typical of every year) of the two teams that actually control their own destiny:
1. Alabama
2. Ohio State
But here’s a list of teams that could go undefeated and watch the BCSCG from their couches:
3. Oregon

16. Michigan State
17. Michigan
21. Oklahoma State
