Homecoming was good for Florida football this year as the Gators trounced their opponents, the Vanderbilt Commodores, in a 38-14 victory last Saturday. With the win, the Orange and Blue are now 4-2 on the season as it heads into the thick of the Southeastern Conference schedule.
This week, ESPN’s Football Power Index numbers did not see any overwhelming changes for Florida, though the special teams have steadily improved as the season wears on. Still, the modest improvements are encouraging for the Gator Nation as its beloved team works through some growing pains this season.
The FPI was developed by ESPN in 2013 to measure each team’s overall strength and predict results throughout the season. As the schedule progresses, the data used to determine a team’s FPI ranking will come from the games played while also predicting the outcomes for each future matchup.
Take a look below at ESPN’s FPI numbers and other data for Florida following its homecoming win in Week 6 inside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium against the Vanderbilt Commodores.
