Bro I'm an Auburn and LSU fan... HOW THE FLYING frick ARE THEY RANKED 10 & 11 
Especially Auburn. ESPN really needs to throw away the FPI ranking 
I remember AFTER LSU won the title in 2019... they weren't even ranked #1 on the FPI And that was after a top 3 season ever with the best offense of all time

SP+ didn’t have LSU #1 either. It’s a predictive model, not a ranking. LSU’s defense had a midseason skid that it couldn’t overcome in the model. Everyone agrees that if LSU played the whole season the way they played vs aTm, UGa and in the playoffs they’d have easily been #1. But when you give up 38 to vandy and 400 rushing yards to Ole Miss your defensive efficiency drops like a rock and it skews your overall numbers a bit.
From Bill Connelly (creator of SP+, IMO a much better version of FPI):
In the Tigers' last four games, their average per-game SP+ percentile rating was 99%. Play like that all year, and you're the greatest team of all time. As it stands, their midseason defensive funk (driven in part by injuries) dragged their full-season numbers down to that of a merely tremendous team.
