News of the day, 10/5

Hey everyone. Sorry for my tardiness. Awful. Had some contractors rolling through the house today. I was not aware things like this were going down. As Tuberville likes to say when asked about rumors: "I'm the last to know." The difference: I really am.

Thanks for breaking off a minute or two to peep the HOTTEST Auburn blog on the 'net.

I had a reader ask yesterday about Auburn's strength of schedule so far. The BCS rankings and associated computer polls/models won't be released for a few more days. One guy who gets his stuff out there early is Mike Greenfield. His stuff is pretty kooky. He ranks Auburn's strength of schedule at 36, which seems a tad low. It's pretty evident that South Florida, Florida and Kansas State are good teams. The Tigers have played some of the best teams around.

Here is his current set of overall power rankings, which has Auburn at No. 10. Mississippi State is at No. 5. I told you it was kooky.

We'll have a more complete answer on Sunday when the BCS data is released.
