Florida football got into the win column last Saturday night against the visiting McNeese State Cowboys in the Gators’ home opener inside the Swamp. The home team prevailed over their Football Championship Subdivision foes, 49-7, in a game that showed a good deal of improvement over the Utah loss in Week 1.
The FPI’s numbers this week saw some improvements for the Orange and Blue in the rankings and among other numbers. Billy Napier’s boys also lost some ground in some categories as well.
ESPN’s Football Power Index 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 for Florida following its rejuvenating Week 2 win inside Ben Hill Griffin Stadium against the McNeese State Cowboys.
