ESPN has released its FPI projections for the upcoming college football season, and it looks for the South Carolina football team to show improvement next year. The FPI is a mathematical tool that measures a team’s strength and attempts to forecast how they’ll fare against the foes on its schedule.
The algorithm predicts that the Gamecocks will end the regular season at 6-6, with a bowl game to follow.
This falls in line with recent projections from the experts in Vegas, who’ve set South Carolina’s over/under win total at 5.5.
The FPI ranks Carolina as the 39th best team in the country.
