I have been wondering with all the speculation over Auburn and Cam being declared ineligible, what happens to our computer ranking if Auburn some how has to forfeit their games this season.

Would our computer ranking and SOS take a nose dive because of a suddenly 0-12 Auburn? Or, would there be something to offset this problem?

Just something I have been curious about the last few weeks with all the Camgate stuff going around.

Pretty sure they would adjust the computers so that all the teams that have played Auburn do not get penalized. It's been speculated about on here.

Either way, if Auburn forfeits their wins, we'll be undefeated and STILL likely have a SOS better than the three other teams ahead of us.

This is really unprecedented and problematic. The single biggest impact on rankings in these models is a loss. I don't think a team that played AU should bare the full cost of that. I also don't think that we should bet the full benefit of beating a team like AU if they do forfeit. I believe the best approach would be just to eliminate all the AU games. In other words we would just have an 11 game schedule without AU. This should our coumputer rankings but not by giving us credit for something we didn't do.
