After Auburn’s big win over Georgia on Saturday afternoon, suddenly the Tigers have a lot more respect on a national scale.

In fact, ESPN’s Football Power Index is one of the systems giving Auburn more of a chance to reach the College Football Playoff.

In fact, now Alabama only has a 59.6 percent chance to win the Iron Bowl, according to the ESPN FPI rankings.

The Crimson Tide are still undefeated, but they haven’t faced a test like Auburn yet. After needing to come from behind to beat Mississippi State on the road on Saturday, Auburn will provide a much tougher challenge.

With serious CFP implications in the annual rivalry game now, as well as an SEC West title, the game is sure to draw even more attention than it normally does.
