The Top 12 Teams In ESPN's FPI After 5 Weeks
ESPN's Football Power Index has updated after week five's slate.
Every week, ESPN updates what it calls its Football Power Index - which is meant to serve as a predictor for how the team will perform moving forward. After week five, we've got a change at the top. Louisville, which lost to Clemson, was previously the top team.
As a reminder, here's how ESPN defines its FPI system:
The Football Power Index (FPI) 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 10,000 simulations of the rest of the season using FPI, results to date, and the remaining schedule. Ratings and projections update daily.
