Because some voters saw the "BO" and thought it was "BO Jackson"

An sec team could lose 4-5 games and still be ranked, remember they are the only conference that’s good at football

For real. The three loses coming to the only teams they played with a pulse. Penn St, aTm and UGA.

I just did this for Penn St, so I will just add Auburn
Quick comparisons:
Strength of Record: Auburn 15 Clemson 19 Penn St 25 (this is my preferred metric and why we should be ranked)
Strength of Schedule: Auburn 5 Clemson 7 Penn St 13
I believe SOR looks at schedule and record, which is what really matters. We won and lost the games we should have.
FPI: Clemson 8 Penn St 13 Auburn 15
Who knows what this means so let's just ignore it.
Game Control: Penn St 4 Clemson 25 Auburn 34
AVG Win Percentage: Penn St 14 Clemson 56 Auburn 67
This is the "EYE" test.
Efficiencies
Overall: Penn St 14 Auburn 24 Clemson 29
Offense: Auburn 35 Penn St 45 Clemson 83
Defense: Penn St 7 Clemson 8 Auburn 20
Special Teams: Clemson 26 Auburn 38 Penn St 60
And this is why they pass the "EYE" test.
Penn St best wins are Wisconsin 6-3 and Auburn 6-3 and to me are propped up by their conference affiliation.
Penn St worst loss is Illinois 4-5.
Auburn best wins are Ole Miss 7-2 Arkansas 6-3
Auburn worst loss Texas A&M 7-2
Unfortunately, we do not have a best win (only team over .500 is Syracuse 5-4 oh and SC State 5-4), but we also do not have a worst loss. The teams that beat us are ranked higher than us, but quality losses only benefit the SEC.
Honestly, this is probably why they are ranked higher than us.
Too bad the ACC can't use the "we are cannibalizing ourselves" line like the SEC and Big Ten do.
New thought since adding Auburn to this analysis. Auburn is a SEC school so they have to be ranked and Penn St beat them so they have to be ranked too so Auburn does not have a bad loss. We will blame Penn St's lower ranking on that bad loss not SEC bias. Hows that sound?

Reading your post makes me sad.
The post is top level, not like my crap.
Why you have only posted 14 times kinda makes me mad.

They trying hard to keep Auburn Tigers/Eagles/Plainspeople ranked so when they play Bama, it makes Bama look good when Bama kicks their overrated $EC arses.

Auburn recruiting rankings
2020 - #10
2019 - #12
2018 - #12
2017 - #14
From a talent standpoint - Auburn should be a top 15 team.
Spending by school. Proxy for facilities and training staff.
Auburn #12 - $153m per year
https://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/finances![]() Which are the most profitable college athletic programs in the country? See a ranked listed, including total revenue and expenses. Brought to you by USA TODAY.
Hate them or not, they both recruit a high level and have high level facilities.

Why worry about it?…

…we don’t deserve to be ranked this year, and it doesn’t matter anyway. We’re bowl eligible and will probably face auburn, so we’ll get our chance to show the sec what we got.

But apparently they do in the Big Ten because Penn St beat Auburn and Wisconsin, but are rated below them presumably because of the loss to Illinois.
