I will say that the FPI did nail TN vs NW being the most lopsided bowl match up of the season.
The longer the season goes on, FPI seems to be very accurate. I think ESPN put together a very good system in FPI.
But its a bit harder to take serious when there have been no games played.

Bingo. No system is perfect, but with more data points during the season, I agree it gets a lot better. Pre-season, I don't envision a scenario where any of these can be considered accurate.

Considering their formula is based on actual performance on the field that season...

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.
