LSU sits just outside of top 10 in ESPN’s Football Power Index after win over Florida

The Tigers fell out of the top 10 in ESPN’s FPI despite a shootout win over rival Florida.

LSU delivered one of the most impressive offensive performances we’ve seen in a while on Saturday, exceeding 700 total yards of offense as [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] became the first player in FBS history to throw for more than 350 yards and rush for over 200 in the same game.

Unfortunately, the game was tighter than it should have been thanks to another rough outing from the Tigers defense, and after ranking in the top 10 of ESPN’s Football Power Index heading into the weekend, they saw a slight drop and now sit just outside the top 10 entering Week 12.

Here’s how the full top 25 looks in the ESPN FPI as LSU prepares to host Georgia State on Saturday night.

LSU remains in top 10 of ESPN’s Football Power Index despite Alabama loss

ESPN’s FPI remains pretty high on the Tigers despite recent struggles.

LSU’s hopes of raising the ceiling in Year 2 under [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] essentially ended with Saturday night’s 42-28 loss to Alabama.

Instead of reaching the College Football Playoff or New Year’s Six, the Tigers’ hopes of repeating as SEC West champions have all but ended, and they now need to win out if they want to even get back to the 10-win mark.

In spite of this team’s struggles, ESPN’s Football Power Index remains surprisingly high on it. The 6-3 Tigers remain in the top 10 and are one of three teams with a trio of losses that rank in the top 15.

Here’s how the full top 25 breaks down as we enter Week 11.

Chiefs are the best team in the NFL, according to ESPN Analytics

ESPN Analytics ranked the #Chiefs as the NFL’s best team after Kansas City’s Week 9 win over the Miami #Dolphins in Frankfurt, Germany.

The Kansas City Chiefs Week 9 win over the Miami Dolphins in Frankfurt, Germany cemented their spot as the AFC’s top team in terms of playoff seeding, but the quants at ESPN Analytics don’t seem to think their dominance ends at the conference level.

According to ESPN’s football power index, Kansas City hosts the best team in the NFL, with two AFC rivals taking second and third place through nine games.

This ranking may surprise some fans who watched the Chiefs’ frustrating losses to the Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos earlier in the season, but after taking down the fifth-best team on the list, Kansas City certainly deserved a top spot.

The Chiefs will have their chance to beat the seventh-ranked team, the Philadelphia Eagles, after their bye week in a Super Bowl LVII rematch at Arrowhead Stadium.

If Kansas City emerges victorious against Philadelphia in Week 11, expect the Chiefs to remain atop the FPI rankings until another team takes them down later in the season.

LSU moves into top 10 of ESPN’s Football Power Index after Army win

The Tigers have now won three games in a row after the shutout against Army.

The Tigers had some issues in the early goings of the season, but they’ve now won three games in a row.

Most recently, LSU’s defense delivered a shutout against Army in a 62-0 homecoming win. It was a step in the right direction for a unit that has struggled mightily through the first half of the season, even if it came against a service academy opponent.

That performance allowed the Tigers to jump several teams in the top 10, including Washington, which barely survived at home against Arizona State after a rough outing from previous Heisman frontrunner Michael Penix Jr.

Here’s how the ESPN Football Power Index top 25 looks after LSU’s Week 8 win over Army, which moved the Tigers into the top 10.
