All 32 NFL teams (including the Texans) ranked by FPI ratings

Here’s where the Houston Texans rank among all 32 NFL rosters based on their FPI rankings entering Week 15.

Fourteen weeks into the season, the Houston Texans (8-5) have a 1.1 Football Power Index (FPI) rating from ESPN, which ranks 22nd in the NFL.

The Miami Dolphins (6-7), who travel to NRG Stadium in Week 15 to take on the Texans, are ranked 16th with a 0.3 FPI rating.

FPI is “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,” according to ESPN.com. “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.”

So with that background in mind, here’s a look at how the league’s 32 teams stack up based on FPI going into Week 15 of the 2024 NFL season.

Texas A&M drops in newest ESPN Football Power Index rankings

Texas A&M dropped just one spot in the latest ESPN FPI rankings after falling to Auburn in quadruple overtime

Texas A&M (8-3, 5-2 SEC) took a tumble in the rankings after falling to Auburn in quadruple overtime. Still, due to Alabama’s shocking loss to Oklahoma, the Aggies are just one win against the Texas Longhorns away from making it to the SEC Championship for the first time in program history.

However, that’s a much tougher ask after what we saw on Saturday night, as A&M had to claw its way back from a 21-0 deficit before eventually taking a 31-28 lead with just four minutes remaining, only to allow Auburn’s offense to charge down the field and send the game into overtime with a game-tying field goal.

After trading touchdowns and field goals in the first two periods, the new overtime rules came into effect. Auburn’s two-point attempt was successful, while a well-designed play to RB Amari Daniels was dropped, ending the Aggies’ night.

Knowing what’s at stake against the Longhorns, this will be the most important week of practice for the Aggies, as head coach Mike Elko, OC Collin Klein, and, especially, DC Jay Bateman will need to put together a gameplan that doesn’t result in what we saw against the Tigers.

Ahead of facing Texas, ESPN’s Football Power Index update saw the Aggies drop one spot while Missouri and Oklahoma steadily rose in the rankings.

Texas A&M football’s FPI ranking, rating

According to ESPN’s Football Power Index, Texas A&M dropped to No. 19 after falling to Auburn, with a 14.4 FPI rating, the sixth-highest among SEC teams. The Aggies are projected to win 8.3 games and have a 6.5% chance of winning out. Sitting at 8-3 and 5-2, A&M currently has a 6.3% chance of making the playoffs and a 1.0% chance of making the National Championship game.

SEC team in FPI

The top-ranked SEC teams in the upper echelon of the rankings include Texas (26.5), followed by Alabama (4th, 24.3), Georgia (22.5) at 5th, Ole Miss (21.3) at 6th, and Tennessee (20.5) in the 8th spot.

South Carolina dropped three spots (14.3) after defeating Wofford, while Oklahoma (12.0) rose four spots after defeating Alabama. Here is the rest of the SEC rankings:

  • LSU (19th, 12.8)
  • Missouri (21st 12.0)
  • Florida (25th, 11.6)

  • Arkansas (32nd, 8.2)

Texas A&M rises in newest Football Power Index rankings

Texas A&M has risen one spot in the newest ESPN FPI rankings after Week 12.

Texas A&M (8-2, 5-1 SEC) and first-year head coach Mike Elko have continued to defy preseason expectations. The Aggies are two wins away from reaching the SEC Championship Game for the first time in program history, but that’s a tall task with a road trip to Auburn and the season finale home test vs. Texas left on the schedule.

After defeating New Mexico State 38-3, Texas A&M’s offense made some strides in the passing game, while redshirt freshman quarterback Marcel Reed finished 20/31 for 286 yards and two touchdowns, rushing for another score.

Defensively, junior DL Malick Sylla, in just his second statistical appearance this season, recorded a game-high two sacks and three tackles for loss. At the same time, sophomore DL Rylan Kennedy earned the highest defensive Pro Football Focus score.

Ahead of facing Auburn, ESPN’s Football Power Index update saw the Aggies rise one spot, while the Auburn Tigers and Florida Gators also rose in the rankings.

Texas A&M dropped 3 spots in the newest Football Power Index rankings

Here are the latest ESPN FPI rankings after Texas A&M’s 44-20 loss to South Carolina

Texas A&M (7-2, 5-1 SEC) failed to remain undefeated in SEC play after falling to South Carolina 44-20 on the road on Saturday night, looking lifeless on both sides of the ball after being tied 20-20 at the half.

However, credit to the Gamecocks for playing with consistent physicality and toughness, while Williams-Brice, in front of a packed crowd at night, could have resulted in nearly every SEC team enduring the same fate.

Either way, head coach Mike Elko and his staff have plenty of work during the bye week to get back to playing winning football, while QB Marcel Reed, who finished 18/28 with 206 yards, one touchdown, and an interception, must improve in the pocket if the offense has any chance at keeping up with the Texas Longhorns at the end of the season.

After the win, ESPN’s Football Power Index update revealed a small rise in the rankings for the Aggies.

Texas A&M rises two spots in the newest Football Power Index rankings

The newest ESPN FPI rankings have Texas A&M up two spots after defeating LSU

Texas A&M (7-1, 5-0 SEC) earned its most significant win of the season against the visiting LSU Tigers on Saturday night, as the Aggies went on a memorable 31-6 run in the second half after trailing 17-7 at halftime.

Led by Texas A&M’s change at quarterback in the second half, backup signal-caller Marcel Reed looked the part on the ground, rushing for three touchdowns. At the same time, LSU’s defense failed to adjust, allowing the Aggies ground game to bully the Tigers into submission.

Defensively, the Aggies secondary clamped up after allowing several chunk gains through the air in the first half, as senior cornerback BJ Mayes notched two interceptions in the third quarter, while Texas A&M’s pass rush recorded two late sacks.

After the win, ESPN’s Football Power Index update revealed a small rise in the rankings for the Aggies.

Texas A&M surprisingly drops in the newest Football Power Index rankings after Week 8

Even after defeating Mississippi State in Starkville, Texas A&M dropping a couple of spots in the newest FPI rankings

Texas A&M (6-1, 4-0 SEC) went on the road and defeated Mississippi State 34-24 behind an impressive second-half defensive effort while starting quarterback Conner Weigman and the offense did just enough to keep the Bulldogs at bay.

Head coach Mike Elko. DC Jay Bateman made defensive adjustments after half-time, neutralizing Bulldogs freshman QB Michael Van Buren, who shredded the Aggie secondary for two passing touchdowns in the first half. However, Weigman’s two costly interceptions provided the home team with one of their three touchdowns.

A win is a win, and the Aggies have shifted their focus to the 8th-ranked LSU Tigers for a primetime showdown inside what could be a sold-out Kyle Field next Saturday night. Even after the tough win in Starkville, ESPN’s updated FPI rankings saw the Aggies fall two spots, which is somewhat surprising.
