Another anemic offensive performance dropped Auburn (3-3, 1-2 SEC) from No. 48 to No. 50 in ESPN’s College Football Power Index following Saturday’s 42-10 loss against Georgia at Sanford Stadium.
The Tigers have the most challenging remaining schedule in America, starting a visit to No. 9 Ole Miss for an 11 am CT kickoff at Vaught-Hemmingway Stadium. The Football Power Index gives the Rebels an 85.5 percent chance of beating Auburn. It’d be a rare win because the Tigers are 13-2 in Oxford and have won six straight, including last season’s 31-20 win at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
During the preseason, the FPI had the Tigers projected 7.4 wins to 4.6 losses. This week the FPI has Auburn with 5.0 wins and 7.0 losses, with games against the Rebels, Arkansas, Texas A &M, Western Kentucky, and the Iron Bowl against Alabama remaining on the schedule. Auburn has a 30.8% chance of winning six or more games and becoming bowl eligible, according to the FPI.
Auburn will have to find a way to score more points if they’re going to upset the highly favored Rebels.
