ESPN has updated its Football Power Index (FPI) after an exciting Week 3 around the world of college football.
In the latest FPI rankings, a pair of Big Ten squads — Oregon and Ohio State — take the top 2 spots. From there, though, the top 25 is SEC-heavy, featuring 12 teams from the conference.
Alabama is the leader for the SEC, checking in at No. 3 this week. Georgia is 1 spot behind, coming in at No. 4 after a thrilling road victory at Tennessee. Texas, Ole Miss and Tennessee are also included in the top 10 of the latest FPI update.
Here’s a look at the full FPI top 25:
- Oregon

That means there are only 4 SEC teams that aren’t in the top 25 of the latest FPI rankings. Those teams are Florida (No. 28), South Carolina (No. 37), Kentucky (No. 41) and Mississippi State (No. 42).
