Actually, it's three bonuses. The games are so good this week, we expanded from 10 games to 13.
The big one: No. 1 Alabama at No. 4 Auburn. Who would of thought we'd even be entertaining the notion that the Tigers could upset the Crimson Tide when the season started? Auburn was coming off a 3-9 season, but first-year head coach Gus Malzahn has the Tigers 10-1 and believing in miracles.
Here's how we see them.
