"Earlier, we looked at which teams we thought were the most undervalued in ESPN's early 2017 Football Power Index.
The FPI isn't the be-all and end-all, but it does provide us with a more analytical view of the sport. This year, Alabama is the favorite to win the SEC. Last year, LSU was. This year, six SEC teams are ranked inside the top 25 of the FPI, with three in the top 10 -- Alabama, Auburn and LSU. All 14 make it inside the top 46.
Something has to give, right? Well, our SEC writers are here to tell you "Not so fast!" when it comes to the value of some of these teams."

Agree with Greg Ostendorf's assessment of the F1orida Gators
quote:
Greg Ostendorf: Credit Jim McElwain for winning the East in his first two seasons at Florida. That’s not easy to do. But let’s be honest about how this team won. It was the defense. The Gators were stingy. They forced turnovers. And now, a year after losing four players to the NFL, that same defense is losing nine starters from this past season. Not to mention, the architect of the group -- defensive coordinator Geoff Collins -- left to become the head coach at Temple. Maybe Feleipe Franks is the real deal and Florida finally will have an offense. Or maybe this is the year the Gators take a step back. With both Michigan and Florida State on the nonconference slate, I think it will be difficult for this team to reach the FPI's eight projected wins.

half the league is over-valued. They pack these things full of P5 schools and inevitably, the bottom half of each league falls out over the course of the season.
