This week SE dives into the world of ESPN - specifically their College Football Power Index (FPI). In this episode we cover:
- The true purpose of the FPI - to provide likeliness of achieving results, not to rank teams.
- How this likeliness is calculated.
- Calculating a teams "strength", including the inputs and data that ESPN collects and analyzes.
- The relationship FPI has to the Vegas books when it comes to picking favorites.
