ESPN’s Football Power Index forecast for Arizona football is bleak to say the least.
FPI projects the Wildcats to go 3-9 in 2021 but gives Arizona a favorable win probably in only one game — the home opener against NAU.
As a refresher, FPI is a metric that represents how many points above or below average a team is. FPI runs 20,000 simulations factoring in past performances, primarily using the expected points added metric, which relies on yards, turnovers, red zone efficiency and other factors.
Arizona’s -8.0 FPI is worst among the Pac-12 and is 98th in all of FBS.
