Wonder what those numbers looked like last year?

LSU$$$•47 months

came here to ask the same thing

Mahootney•47 months

Alabama was still rated as the best team, regardless of the actual results of games.

Tigerpride18•47 months

You could do a lot worse then picking Alabama to win the west most years. There should be a sunshin be a seper

Stop posting and promoting this stupid FPI by ESPN, it is very inaccurate and only used by ESPN.

lsujro•47 months

that's because it's their proprietary metric...

idlewatcher•47 months

lol we have a better chance of winning the division but NOT the conference?

BigTimer23•47 months

Do you have any idea how probabilities work?...

Tigerpride18•47 months

Uh what's the issue

Pleasenewdc•47 months

FPI is about as useless as tits on a bull.

Roll Clyde Roll•47 months

So you’re telling me there’s a chance

km•47 months

espn still sucking up to bama.

arcalades•47 months

that's probably about how it looked last year. it's amazing how people will continue looking at the same incorrect stuff year after year for decades.

NASA_ISS_Tiger•47 months

Who does UGA have at QB? Alabama returns Jones who has been mainly used in mop up duty with the exception of last year...we'll see how he does as a starter. We have Myles who has done the same as Jones with less games played. Just seems like there's a lot of unknowns at this time.

Jamie Newman

Tigerpride18•47 months

They have a new guy that's experienced and talented. Expected to be a first round pick next year, but so was Fromm. Fpi picked our games pretty well in 2018

CapitolB•47 months

Well, UGA has JT Daniels now which is an upgrade from Jake Fromm.

Geaux62•47 months

Brought to you by the same people that tell us how many hurricanes there will be each year. Rarely close to ever being right.

USAFTiger42•47 months

Same metric that still didn't have LSU as the #1 after that incredible season. Yeah I'll just use it as a barometer.

Tigerpride18•47 months

People say this, but can you prove it? I remember seeing the opposite

turnpiketiger•47 months

So we lose to Florida and Alabama?

KCT•47 months

1) How do you play 12.6 games? 2) I personally move Florida, LSU, and maybe Auburn above Georgia. Nothing against UGA, but they are where LSU was for awhile. They need to prove that they can actually live up to preseason hype. I think Florida is definitely going to be better than Georgia this season.

BigTimer23•47 months

1) It adds up to 12.2... 2) It’s accounting for the possibility of the SEC Championship game

LurkerTooLong•47 months

What was our prediction last year?

olgoi khorkhoi•47 months

I don't know, but we were #3 after beating Clemson.

Alt26•47 months

Essentially the same. But LSU was ranked #4 according to the metric in the 2019 preseason. So it’s not like the metric was THAT far off.

NattyTiger19•47 months

The ESPN FPI is and has never been anything other than junk science. As it has always been the least accurate measurement of LSU's strengths and weaknesses ever since ESPN introduced that garbage. Indeed, every time I hear someone say ESPN's FPI says, I grimace and roll my eyes. As all it does is discredit ESPN as the self-anointed arbiters of college football. If I was ESPN, I'd get rid of it because all it is, in reality, is a source of embarrassment for ESPN.

NattyTiger19•47 months

With respect to the ESPN FPI, it has never been even close to being accurate and in fact, it has always been a complete and utter joke. Indeed, anytime I hear anyone reference ESPN's FPI, I immediately lose all respect for that individual.

LsuFan_1955•47 months

ESPiN=Liberal Twats. They are wrong about everything.

atltiger6487•47 months

all of these things are meaningless. Play the games on the field - then we’ll know. Ignore this nonsense.

hnbrown18•47 months

How do our win loss #s not add up to 12?

alumni95•47 months

I’m guessing it’s the fractional percentage of the chances we play in the SEC-CG / playoffs. That’s all I got.

CapitolB•47 months

Who knows. I have us going 12-2 in 2020.

hnbrown18•47 months

everybody from a&m down does everyone above them doesnt???????

Zuave4Ever•47 months

Man, frick Bama. De facto champs every preseason

Crimson1st•47 months

Well, Bama either generally wins or is damn close every year...I see a correlation myself for a safe pick.
