We’re back to an almost full slate of SEC football in Week 10. Thirteen conference teams will be featured in 7 games. Ole Miss is playing out-of-conference opponent Liberty while Vanderbilt has a bye week. The other 12 SEC teams take on conference opponents.
The ranked-vs-ranked showdown of Auburn at Texas A&M headlines the Week 10 SEC slate. The Tigers and Aggies, fighting to remain in the hunt for the SEC West title, get the “SEC on CBS” showcase treatment with the 3:30 p.m. ET kickoff in College Station. ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI) predicts the outcome of that game, as well as the other 6 games.
Here are the FPI’s predictions:
- Georgia (98.6 percent chance to win) vs. Missouri
- Ole Miss (81.5 percent) vs. Liberty
- Texas A&M (62.3 percent) vs. Auburn
- Arkansas (59.4 percent) vs. Mississippi State
- Alabama (94.4 percent) vs. LSU
- Tennessee (51.2 percent) at Kentucky
- Florida (85 percent) at South Carolina
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.
