No. 13 Auburn and No. 14 Texas A&M

These two teams play each other this week which could mean that the Cougars move up a spot despite playing Idaho State.

The worst thing that can happen in this game is overtime. An overtime game could possibly keep both teams ranked ahead of the Cougars as the Committee would see these teams essentially as equal in talent.

BYU fans need to hope for a one sided game, for either team, however with Auburn still having Alabama on the schedule, it may be better if Auburn wins this game in hopes that the Cougars can jump the War Eagles after Alabama beats them in the Iron Bowl.

It isn’t all over though if Texas A&M wins however as they still have to take on Ole Miss and Miss State later, two teams who could easily take them down.
