#19 LSU
#18 Auburn
#17 Florida
#16 Texas A&M
#14 Missouri
#9 Mississippi State
#2 Alabama
This has got to be some major trolling.

Edit: Georgia is #3 in the list. Viewing the list on my phone was very difficult. Design from Hell.

It’s not trolling. They just have a shitty formula that was developed by interns from the local community college.

Wow that's FPI rankings? It must be all based on margin of victory? F....ing dumb.

i've been saying this for weeks. i don't understand fpi.
for example, it has msu at #9 with a projected finish of 8 wins. yet, lsu is at #19 and already has 9 wins.
msu can't possibly pass lsu yet they are in front of lsu.
another thing i don't understand is that it is a "projection" service, not a "prediction" service. so when lsu only had a small percentage chance to beat miami, aub, uga, the fpi can say well, we said there was a chance. so technically, it's never "wrong." ok, well what's the point of that? of course, everyone has a chance to beat anyone. the whole point of the metric is to use information to determine which team will win based on the formula.
what's worse is that at this point in the season, it should be at it's most accurate. it should have moved closer and closer to actual results yet, it is wildly wrong in ranking FIVE 4 loss teams ahead of lsu.

It isn’t intended to be a “ranking”. It’s a measure of the relative strength of teams and can’t account for the somewhat random nature of turnovers.

for reasons stated earlier, there are some aspects that make no sense.
