The Auburn Tigers will take their No. 1 BCS ranking out for a road test.
The third-ranked Tigers play for the first time as the top BCS team Saturday at Mississippi. Oklahoma only lasted one week in that rarefied air, and Ohio State and Alabama tumbled from the top poll position the two weeks before that.
Auburn quarterback and Heisman Trophy front-runner Cam Newton says if the Tigers do their jobs they can end that string. If they don’t, Newton says he and his teammates will only have themselves to blame, not the coaches.
The Rebels can play the spoilers after dropping two straight to ranked SEC West teams. They are a touchdown underdog.
Rebels coach Houston Nutt has taken unranked teams to five upsets of top-5 opponents, including a win over No. 1 LSU in 2007.
