We’re in the thick of Spring Football; by the standards of our football-crazed society, this means we should already be deep in our projections for the 2018 season—if not the 2019 season.
ESPN’s gotten football to drive them views, so they have released their 2018 preseason Football Power Index (FPI).
The Football Power Index (FPI) ... represents how many points above or below average a team is. Projected results are based on 10,000 simulations of the rest of the season using FPI, results to date, and the remaining schedule.
With more than one-third of the year until kickoff, there’s still a wealth of uncertainty heading into these rankings.
