The Auburn Tigers are coming off one of the worst losses in program history on Saturday.
[autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag]’s squad got blown out at home against New Mexico State, whom they were hoping would be a nice warm-up game before the impending Iron Bowl.
Auburn’s offense was non-existent in the loss. The running game only tallied 69 yards on the ground, while [autotag]Payton Thorne[/autotag] and the passing attack weren’t able to surpass 200 yards once again.
The defense wasn’t great either, as New Mexico State quarterback [autotag]Diego Pavia [/autotag] eclipsed 230 total yards and 3 touchdowns.
The loss un-shockingly shot the Tigers down the rankings in ESPN’s Football Power Index.
The FPI ranks each college football team by a variety of factors; Strength of record, strength of schedule, offensive efficiency, defensive efficiency, and overall efficiency.
Here is where Auburn ranks in each category ahead of the Iron Bowl at Jordan-Hare.
