Saban must have them blowing him at ESPN.

ESPN FPI rankings have been updated after an absolutely chaotic Week 13 in college football. Several top teams, including 3 Playoff contenders in the SEC, lost.

Alabama, Ole Miss and Texas A&M all suffered defeats, while No. 5 Indiana was also blown out on the road at No. 2 Ohio State.

ESPN’s Football Power Index had Alabama at No. 2 entering Week 13, but now the Tide have fallen to No. 4 with Saturday’s disappointing 24-3 loss at Oklahoma.

Here’s how the ESPN FPI top 25 rankings look as we prepare for Rivalry Week:

1. Texas
2. Ohio State
3. Notre Dame
4. Alabama
5. Georgia
6. Ole Miss

7. Oregon
8. Tennessee
9. Penn State
10. Miami
11. Indiana
12. SMU
13. Louisville
14. Clemson
15. Texas A&M
16. South Carolina

17. Tulane
18. USC
19. LSU
20. Iowa
21. Mizzou
22. Kansas State
23. Oklahoma
24. Colorado
25. Florida

Who cares? What the hell is the ESPN FPI and why does it matter?

FPI is a power ranking index.. which isn’t about record.. but more team roster etc.

Alabama has a loaded roster.

I’d rather play a lot of Top 10 teams before I played Alabama..

Penn State
Indiana
Notre Dame
Tennessee
Miami
Boise
SMU

So I’d say it’s about right for them.

I see this list has State at 70. That in and of itself should invalidate it forever.

What’s really interesting about that is the playoff percentages. You have Clemson, Carolina and Tulane fighting for the last spot. Each has roughly a 24% chance of being the 12th team.

Carolina-Clemson winner seems to have the inside track. Tulane needs Clemson to beat Carolina and then lose in the ACC title game.

They have Ole Miss out despite their relatively high ranking. Auburn could knock Bama out.

Starting teams like Bama so high initially distorts the final rankings.

I agree that's a joke, but on the off chance that Magic Milroe shows up we seem capable of beating the crap out of any team in the country. If Great Value Milroe shows up, though, well, you know.

A 1 loss regular season Miami team who loses the ACCCG would go over a 3 loss regular season SEC team.

Ohio State 2. Oregon 7.

List is shite. Espn needs to scrap their algorithm.

Bammer 19 spots ahead of the team that just raped them?

This is a really bad metric. Somehow Auburn fell a spot after beating a Top 15 team and out gaining them by 1.5 yards per play in the process.
