The ESPN Football Power Index (FPI) has been updated to project the outcome of every Georgia football game in 2020.
First, what is the FPI?
ESPN defines it as 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.”
