The first SEC football Saturday is almost here!

In 2021, not all 14 teams will be making their 2021 debuts on Saturday. Tennessee defeated Bowling Green on Thursday night, leaving 13 remaining SEC games (including the Ole Miss-Louisville game on Monday).

Here’s how ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI) projects the outcome of each of the 13 remaining SEC matchups:

  • Kentucky (96.7 percent chance to win) vs. UL Monroe
  • Arkansas (94.6 percent) vs. Rice
  • Alabama (80.4 percent) vs. Miami
  • Mississippi State (93 percent) vs. Louisiana Tech
  • Missouri (74.6 percent) vs. Central Michigan
  • Auburn (98.9 percent) vs. Akron
  • South Carolina (98.8 percent) vs. Eastern Illinois
  • Georgia (31 percent) vs. Clemson
  • Florida (94.2 percent) vs. FAU
  • Texas A&M (97.2) vs. Kent State
  • Vanderbilt (95.5) vs. ETSU
  • LSU (53.3 percent) at UCLA
  • Ole Miss (70.1 percent) vs. Louisville

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.
