Go Louisville!

For Auburn to move up past #4 in the polls, one of the three remaining teams ahead of them need to drop. Our best hope is Miami, who was a mere 40 points ahead of us in the AP poll. For Miami to drop, we'll probably need a little bit of help from their opponent this week, Louisville. As The Birmingham News reports, it's a little odd to root for Louisville:

You can safely assume that feeling won't come naturally - given the fact [that Louisville's] Petrino was courted for the Auburn job while Tuberville was getting ready to play archrival Alabama last November. But things have changed. Petrino's Louisville Cardinals have a chance to knock off Miami before ESPN cameras on Thursday night, and that gives Tuberville reason for pause. Miami (4-0) is one of only three teams ranked higher than Auburn, and the Tigers would like to see a couple of them fall to have a shot at a national title.
