ESPN’s computer model, the Football Power Index, released its projections for the 2025 college football season earlier this month.
The FPI is a projection-based model that uses many factors. According to ESPN, it “is a measure of team strength that is meant to be the best predictor of a team’s performance going forward for the rest of the season. FPI represents how many points above or below average a team is. Projected results are based on 20,000 simulations of the rest of the season using FPI, results to date, and the remaining schedule.”
