Auburn remains inside top 20 of ESPN’s FPI

Auburn is still getting some love from ESPN’s Football Power Index.

Auburn is still getting some love in some form of official ranking.

While the Tigers were dropped from both the USA TODAY Sports AFCA Coaches Poll and the AP poll, they are still sitting inside the top 20 (at no. 20) of ESPN’s ‘Football Power Index,’ which is a measure of team strength that is meant to be the best predictor of a team’s performance going forward for the rest of the season.

Auburn currently is projected to finish 7-5 per the FPI. They have a 0.1% chance of winning out, easily the lowest chance of any team inside the top 30. Auburn has a 5.8% chance to win the SEC West, which is the second-highest chance of any team from the West behind Alabama, who has a 76.4% chance to come out on top.

Auburn travels up to Fayetville to take on the No. 17 Arkansas Razorbacks this Saturday. The Razorbacks have a 60% chance to win according to ESPN’s FPI.

One of the two opponents that aren’t ranked has not lost at home to Auburn since 1999 (Auburn plays LSU in Baton Rouge on October 2nd.) The schedule is daunting, and the Tigers desperately need some momentum. What are the computer models saying about Auburn’s season?

Auburn football’s place among all SEC teams in ESPN’s FPI Rankings

ESPN’s Power Football Index rankings were released last week with a lot of controversy.

The ESPN Football Power Index rankings came out this week and, whoa buddy, are there some shocks and surprises on there.

Where do we start? Surely it has to be with Mississippi State coming in at an eye-popping No. 8. We are sure Mike Leach and the Bulldogs will improve in his second season in Starkville but that is a major jump up.

So where does Auburn stand right now? Let’s take a look at all 14 teams.
