Auburn non-conf scheduling

[Legend]

Auburn 1998-2007
Average Rank = 96.7
Gms vs @ v %vs BCS non AA %BCS avW 10+ 10+% T10 T% 0 0%
34 31 3 0 91.2% 10 18 6 29.4% 4.4 6 17.6% 3 8.8% 20 58.8%
NCAA Ranks 116 97 87 95 89 96

Analysis: The Tigers' best rankings is #87. Yeah. They almost always play at home, and the usual slate is an above average BCS team, an average non-BCS team, a below average non-BCS team, and maybe a I-AA team.

Fact: If Auburn plays a BCS team, they're usually quality - none of the ten BCS teams they've played had an average win under 6, and they all had at least an 8+win season in the previous five.

Fact: The most successful team from the previous year that Auburn has played was USC in 2003 (they were ranked #4 in 2002). The second most successful was Syracuse in 2002 (they were #14 in 2001). The third most? Louisiana Tech in 1998 (they were #29 in 1997).

2008 Outlook: @ West Virginia should be a big challenge - good for them. However, Southern Miss, LA-Monroe, and I-AA Tennessee-Martin at home are cupcakes. Mid-range for 2008 because of the away game.
