ESPN’s Football Power Index is an interesting ranking system, to say the least.
Apparently, if you play in the Big Ten, it’s a big plus, even if you have a losing record.
After some wild SEC Week 12 action, the FPI was updated, and 5 SEC teams made the top 25. Alabama was No. 1, but there were some strange schools mentioned. As you can see below, 2-3 Wisconsin is a top-10 team somehow and 3-5 Penn State is at No. 25:
- Alabama
- Ohio State
- Clemson
- Georgia
- Oklahoma
- Notre Dame
- Wisconsin
- Florida
- Texas
- Texas A&M
- Iowa
- Iowa State
- Indiana
- USC
- Cincinnati
- BYU
- Oregon
- Auburn
- UCF
- Oklahoma State
- Arizona State
- TCU
- Northwestern
- North Carolina
- Penn State
Where is 11-0 Coastal Carolina, you ask? Well, the Chanticleers are all the way down at No. 30. Seems strange.
At least it got Alabama at No. 1 right.
