This week’s ESPN Football Power Index has the Ole Miss Rebels as the number one team in the nation followed by Ohio State, TCU and USC.
SEC notables are Georgia at number 5; LSU at number 6; Alabama at number 7; and Texas A&M at number 8. Auburn has fallen to number 27.
The Football Power Index 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.
Ole Miss’ current FPI is 27.7 compared to 23.2 for Alabama. The index predicts the Rebels to win 10.5 games and have a 31.8 percent chance of winning the SEC. The FPI indicates the Rebels have a 7.4 percent chance of going undefeated. Alabama, on the other hand, has a 6.5 percent chance of winning the conference and only .5 percent of going undefeated.
The remainder of Ole Miss’ opponents are ranked accordingly: LSU 6, Alabama 7, Texas A&M 8, Arkansas 19, Florida 24, Mississippi State 26, Auburn 27, Memphis 48, Vanderbilt 63 and New Mexico State 121.
