AUBURN, Alabama – It may

be time to go to the record book.

Vanderbilt -- yes, Vanderbilt -- is sitting as an 8-point favorite over Auburn for this Saturday's game in Nashville.

That's the word this Sunday from Vegas.

Update...it's dropped to 7.

Still, that's the price Auburn is paying for being 1-5 overall and 0-4 in the Southeastern Conference. Vanderbilt is 2-4 overall and 1-3 in the league.

Auburn coach

Gene Chizik

will go into the game not sure who'll be his starting quarterback.

Clint Moseley

started in the 41-20 loss to Ole Miss over the weekend.

Kiehl Frazier

, who started the first five games, may be in the running…if his undisclosed injury gets better.

Auburn announced Friday that he would start the next day.

This week?

"It'll be very similar to last week. Kiehl has got to get healthy. He's not completely healthy right now," Chizik said Sunday.

Three other starters – center

Reese Dismukes

, defensive back

Chris Davis

and defensive end

Dee Ford

– also missed the game because of various undisclosed injuries. Chizik said he wouldn't know if they'd be available until later in the week.

• Auburn started true freshman

cornerbacks

Josh Holsey

and

Jonathan Jones

at Ole Miss. Chizik said he'd consider giving more little-used players a chance. When asked about young linebackers, Chizik said, "we are very highly considering that as well with young guys getting in there, too."

• Craig Sanders

played more in the defensive line.

"Very active," Chizik said. "There was more playing time for him yesterday, and he certainly earned it. Not only did he play extremely hard, I thought he tried to execute within the defense that we asked him to do."

• Auburn trailed Ole Miss 24-20

in the fourth quarter, then watched the close game get away. The video replay didn't change it.

"I thought it was exactly what everybody saw. We had our chances in the fourth quarter. It was the same thing that had plagued us previously in the fourth quarter," Chizik said.

The problem? Explosive plays, field position, turnovers, Chizik said.
