Here's how the FHI is determined:
quote:

Using seven different variables, every team receives an FHI rating from 0 to 100, with 100 being the happiest. Remember, happiness isn't just about how much teams excel in every category, but how they're doing relative to what its fans expect. The seven inputs into FHI are: team strength and accomplishment, head coach hot seat rating, recruiting trend, rivalry dominance, revenue growth, Twitter sentiment rating and in-game panic rating. (In-game panic rating is only a factor in-season. More details on methodology can be found HERE.)

In the table below, the numbers listed for team power, recruiting, rivalry dominance and revenue are each team's percentile in that category. For hot seat, the listed number is the coach's percentage chance to be fired during or following this season. And Twitter is the estimated percentage of positive-sentiment tweets.

Take out the population of Lafourche Parish and the rating will plummet

Surprised LSU is so high, and thought Auburn would be higher.

No program with O as HC should be in the top 100 of that index.
