AUBURN, Ala. -- The biggest bull's-eye in college football has found a new home.
The Auburn Tigers, fresh off a 24-17 win against sixth-ranked LSU, found themselves atop the Bowl Championship Series standings Sunday night. A team that began the season outside the bright Southeastern Conference spotlight will enter the final week of October as the league's lone unbeaten team.
Rankings mean nothing during the regular season, of course, but simply earning top billing in anything related to football hasn't happened here since 1985.
Still, a fan base savoring its team's renaissance rejoiced.
A locker room full of players born during the 1990s didn't flinch.
"I wouldn't say it changes things. You've still got to go out there and win games," senior guard Mike Berry said. "But now everybody is respecting us."
