Posted on 9/17/15 at 4:01 pm
The Top SEC Football Teams, as ranked by ESPN’s 2015 Football Power Index (Overall Rank in Parenthesis):
• Ole Miss (1)
• Georgia (5)
• LSU (6)
• Alabama (7)
• Texas A&M (8)
• Tennessee (12)
• Arkansas (19)
• Florida (24)
• MSU (26)
* “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.”
Observations:
1. Some underestimating went on in the SEC West.
2. Surprised Auburn isn't on here.
3. Computers still love Beliema.

Auburn beats JSt, not on list
Arkansas loses to Toledo, still on list
Seems legit...

More like:

More accurate language.

Yards (as opposed to or in addition to points) must play into it somehow. How you get 515 total yards and only 12 points is still a mystery to me.

Well... Brandon Allen throwing 53 times will do that. Please beat the hell out of Tech! Don't care how you do it.

Meh...at least we proved we could throw the ball a little. However, we have new WRs this week.
I bet our freshman RB gets 20 carries this week...I hope
