ESPN has updated its FPI rankings after Week 2 of the 2017 college football season.
Along with the FPI, the projected probability of winning has also been changed based on what happened. There are a number of important games in the SEC in Week 3, including Tennessee at Florida.
The Football Power Index (FPI) 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. FPI represents how many points above or below average a team is. Projected results are based on 10,000 simulations of the rest of the season using FPI, results to date, and the remaining schedule. Ratings and projections update daily.
Here is each SEC team’s predictability on how they will fare in Week 3:
Alabama vs. Colorado State: 97.9%
