2 @ Texas
7 Alabama
9 @ LSU
12 Oklahoma
17 @ Ole Miss
21 @ South Carolina
23 Auburn
26 Missouri
27 Misssissippi State
39 Vanderbilt
74 Minnesota

Now favored against Missouri, 50-50 against Auburn, 69.5% to get to 6-6.

Only 35.5% chance next week, which feels low.

I’ve not watched USC, but between this and Vegas, it must be a bad matchup on paper

I’ll admit to not really understanding FPI but can someone explain how Ohio State went to #1 on FPI after a loss?

Losing by 1 to #2 on the road probably implies they'd be a slight favorite on a neutral field.

Not that FPI just looks at scores, it goes deeper than that, it wasn’t a game that would hurt them

So it seems that Minnesota dropped a lot more than we moved up.
