Title: FWIW, the ESPN FPI favors us
Post by: BanditVol on September 25, 2015, 09:46:42 EDT
We are a 56% favorite.

I don't put a huge amount of stock in the ESPN statistical prediction, but it's one more piece of evidence that we are the better team and should be favored.


Predicts for the entire season are here:

Whats  interesting is that it shows us being dogs against uga and bammer (also) but also large to huge favorites against everyone else but Florida.  This implies that Florida is our third-toughest remaining foe, and at this point in the season I agree.  As it turns out, Mizzou's best RB has been injured and they might do very well against UK this week.  We will see, but honestly they are the only other team remaining other than bammer and uga that I worry about much.
