Following an exciting and chaotic weekend of college football in Week 10, ESPN has updated its FPI Top 25 rankings. FPI (Football Power Index) is a tool that measures a team’s expected point margin vs. an average opponent on a neutral field. It is meant to measure a team’s true strength while also predicting future performances.
