The Week 6 SEC slate features 7 games, including 6 conference clashes.
Two of the 6 games feature ranked-vs-ranked clashes: No. 2 Georgia travels to No. 18 Auburn for its annual cross-division rivalry clash while No. 17 Ole Miss hosts No. 13 Arkansas. CBS Sports will have The Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry at 3:30 p.m. ET and No. 1 Alabama at Texas A&M at 8 p.m. ET.
ESPN’s Football Power Index predicts the outcome of each Week 6 game:
- Ole Miss (66.3 percent chance to win) vs. Arkansas
- Florida (99.1 percent) vs. Vanderbilt
- Tennessee (78.8 percent) vs. South Carolina
- Georgia (84.5 percent) at Auburn
- Missouri (81.1 percent) vs. North Texas
- Kentucky (51.9 percent) vs. LSU
- Alabama (85.7 percent) vs. Texas A&M
Here’s how ESPN defines the FPI:
FPI is a predictive rating system designed to measure team strength and project performance going forward. The ultimate goal of FPI is not to rank teams 1 through 128; rather, it is to correctly predict games and season outcomes. If Vegas ever published the power rankings it uses to set its lines, they would likely look quite a lot like FPI.
