ESPN FPI rankings after week 9
Last Updated: October 30, 2025
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 20,000 simulations of the rest of the season using FPI, results to date, and the remaining schedule. Ratings and projections update daily. FPI data from seasons prior to 2019 may not be complete.

Fine by me.
Just win the games that are scheduled. That’s all anyone can do.

It just proves that we’ve had a tougher schedule

You’re damn right I’ll complain.
A&M too high.

Being honest, I’m corralling the media posts that still provide us with hope!

This is the crucial sentence. It does not necessarily say one team is better than the other...simply that this is how they would predict the rest of the season to play out for those teams, so it is more a statement on schedule strength compared to team strength. It does seem odd that this is what it thinks about Texas considering they have Georgia, Vanderbilt and Texas A&M left on the schedule, though.

You only have one conference loss
You’re not a bad team, but you aren’t a great team
And your biggest handicap is your quarterback, which you may change this week
There’s absolutely no reason you shouldn’t have hope
At this point, you’ve got as good of odds is anybody else other than Bama to get to the conference championship game

Hopefully Caldwell will be solid, if he starts on Saturday. You may not have seen the Mississippi State game, but Arch looked good in the 4th quarter. He may be figuring it out, and/ or may play better with a more aggressive game plan. Other than Arch’s inexperience, our biggest weakness right now is our inexperienced O line, adding to an ineffective running game. We will see if they can play better over the next few games…

Not sure why anyone complains about rankings, power indexes, etc.. at this point in the year. Lots of games to be played and this stuff will shake out by the end of the year.

Texas has won ugly but they e won. That’s saying something.
Despite a QB who at times can’t hit the broadside of a barn, y’all are still in the hunt.

At least our guys did not quit. A lot of inexperience, but they have a good attitude…
I would much rather watch a team like that, than a team whose hearts are not in the game, and are not playing hard…

I personally do not care where any team sits on this ranking.
It pretty much worthless and I don’t think it carries any weight at all.

You know how the ESPN win probability thing in game can fluctuate from 90% Team A expected to win with 5 minutes left to 90% Team B expected to win after a turnover.
I look at it like that.

It's based off of a lot of things, but one thing to keep in mind. ESPN is a Disney property, and they care most about the "name" teams. Texas isn't remotely a good team this year, but they have talent and were good last year.
They also have a Manning, even though he sucks at football.
