The Good, the Bad, the Ugly: ESPN FPI
Spring is in the air and so are a bunch of pointless predictions that are sure to be wrong. This week, we are going to take a break from out preview series (don’t worry special teams fans, I will get to you) and look at ESPN’s Football Power Index preview for the 2021 season. The numbers displayed are the ranking and projected wins and losses. Let’s take a look at the Good, Bad, and Ugly of ESPN’s FPI.
The Good:
Nevada (75, 7.8-4.6)
Nevada might have the best quarterback in the conference, but the best team? That might be a stretch. With that being said, I think ESPN nailed both the ranking and the win projection for the Wolf Pack. I just think there should be a team or two higher than them.
