ESPN's FPI predicts Alabama's remaining games
Alabama may be on its way to an undefeated season. But it still has some challenging games against SEC rivals coming up.
After improving to 6-0 with a win at Texas A&M on Saturday, the Crimson Tide will host a pair of conference opponents the next two weeks — Tennessee and Arkansas. Those are both games that Alabama should win handily.
However, the Crimson Tide have perhaps their toughest game of the season after their bye week, as they’ll host No. 2 LSU on Nov. 9. The winner of that contest could win the SEC West and head to the conference championship game.
Alabama will also have a tough conference game in its regular-season finale when it will host No. 11 Auburn on Nov. 30.
Fortunately for the Crimson Tide, both of their remaining games against ranked opponents come at home, so they’ll at least have that advantage.
At the end of Week 7, here are the updated probabilities for Alabama to win its remaining games, courtesy of the ESPN Football Power Index:
- Oct. 19 vs. Tennessee (97.4 percent)
- Oct. 26 vs. Arkansas (98.8)
- Nov. 9 vs. LSU (76.5)
- Nov. 16 at Mississippi State (91.1)
- Nov. 23 vs. Western Carolina (100)
- Nov. 30 vs. Auburn (75.5)
So weird thinking that this year’s matchup with LSU could definitely look like a Big 12 game. Haha. The complete opposite of what happened in 2011. Hopefully the outcome won’t be like 2011, but either way, I’m glad that LSU fans have been really enjoying their team this year.
Uh. Alabama plays Auburn at Auburn. It’s really not that hard to look that up.
c’mon you think these hacks are that clever?
Hard to believe our fpi chances are higher against LSU versus Auburn, I guess because one is home and one away but I still see LSU the bigger threat based on bidy of work to date. RTR

Tua is off on his downfield passing game. 20+ yard throws aren’t looking great. Clearly what we are doing works for right now, but a good defense will take away these slants and intermediate throws.
