All 32 NFL teams (including the Texans) ranked by FPI ratings for Week 18

Here’s where the Texans rank among all 32 teams in FPI ratings entering their Week 18 showdown with the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium.

Seventeen weeks into the season, the Houston Texans (9-7) have an ESPN Football Power Index rating (FPI) of -0.1, which ranks 16th in the NFL.

Florida moves up in Football Power Index after Gasparilla Bowl blowout

Florida is a top 20 team according to ESPN’s Football Power Index following the Gasparilla Bowl and CFP first round.

Florida football earned its first postseason victory in five years last Friday when it defeated the Tulane Green Wave, 33-8, in the 2024 Gasparilla Bowl. The Gators came close to pitching their first shutout since 2021 in an otherwise dominating defensive effort.

The win capped a four-game winning streak to wrap up head coach [autotag]Billy Napier[/autotag]’s third season on the sideline in Gainesville — one in which he was perilously close to losing his job early on. The program gave him a vote of confidence in early November and since then, the team has turned things around on and off the field.

Not only did Florida get its postseason action this weekend, but the opening round of the College Football Playoff also took place. As a result, there were some changes in ESPN’s Football Power Index rankings as of Sunday.

Florida football’s FPI ranking, rating

Following the win, the FPI lifted Florida up to No. 19 — three spots better than our last update — with the team’s overall rating rising from 11.8 to 13.0. That puts the Gators between the No. 18 USC Trojans and No. 20 Colorado Buffaloes.

While the final rankings will not be available until the championship game is played, that is the end of the line for the Gators. It was a long road that saw them start the season at No. 20 in the FPI but quickly fall down the rankings, only to return to the top 25 at the end of their schedule.

SEC teams in FPI

After the opening round of the CFP, the Texas Longhorns remain ranked No. 1 with a 26.2 overall rating, followed by the Alabama Crimson Tide (4th, 23.9) and Georgia Bulldogs (5th, 22.1) among the top five schools. The Ole Miss Rebels (20.7) moved up a spot to No. 7 while the Tennessee Volunteers (19.9) fell two places to No. 9, wrapping up the SEC teams in the top 10.

Next up are the South Carolina Gamecocks (14th, 14.9), Texas A&M Aggies (16th, 14.4), LSU Tigers (17th, 13.6), Florida (19th, 13.0) and the Missouri Tigers (21st, 12.2) round out the top 25.

The remainder of the conference schools in the FPI are the Oklahoma Sooners (26th, 10.8), Auburn Tigers (28th, 9.6), Arkansas Razorbacks (36th, 8.2), Vanderbilt Commodores (40th, 6.4), Kentucky Wildcats (48th, 4.7) and Mississippi State Bulldogs (67th, 0.2).

Florida finishes regular season in Football Power Index rankings top 25

The win over FSU solidifies Florida’s spot among the top 25 teams in ESPN’s FPI rankings.

Florida football did what most people did not think they would do this fall — win seven games and clinch its first winning campaign since 2020.

It all came together in the final weeks of the season as the Gators beat a pair of top-25 teams in the LSU Tigers and Ole Miss Rebels at home, respectively, before beating the Florida State Seminoles in Tallahassee on Saturday, 31-11. Now, Billy Napier can look ahead to the program’s first bowl game in two years.

The Orange and Blue were strongly favored against the Garnet and Gold but it was not a pretty affair. FSU coughed up the ball eight times and despite a 14-0 halftime lead, UF struggled to put the game away early.

Nonetheless, Florida moved up in Week 14’s ESPN’s Football Power Index rankings update.

Florida football’s FPI ranking, rating

Following the win, the FPI lifted Florida three spots to No. 22 with the team’s overall rating rising from 11.6 last week to 11.8 this week. That puts the Gators between the No. 21 Tulane Green Wave and No. 23 Iowa State Cyclones.

Napier and Co. clinched the six-win mark last weekend and have won out the remainder of the schedule. Still, they hold a 0% chance of winning the conference, a 0% chance of making the College Football Playoffs, a 0% chance of making the championship game and a 0% chance of winning the national title.

The FPI’s final record prediction was 6.8-5.2 last week, and Florida’s win confirmed that projection.

SEC teams in FPI

The Texas Longhorns finished the regular season in the top spot with a 26.5 overall rating — same as last week — followed by the Alabama Crimson Tide (4th, 23.9) and Georgia Bulldogs (5th, 21.6) among the top five schools.

The Tennessee Volunteers (20.7) moved up a spot to No. 7 while Ole Miss (20.5) fell two spots to No. 8 to wrap up the SEC teams in the top 10. Next up are the South Carolina Gamecocks (14th, 14.7), Texas A&M Aggies (16th, 14.3), LSU (17th, 13.5), Missouri Tigers (20th, 12.2) and Florida (22nd, 11.8) round out the top 25.

The remainder of the conference schools in the FPI are the Oklahoma Sooners (26th, 12.0), Auburn Tigers (29th, 9.6), Arkansas Razorbacks (36th, 8.1), Vanderbilt Commodores (39th, 6.5), Kentucky Wildcats (49th, 4.5) and Mississippi State Bulldogs (69th, 0.1).

Next up for Florida

That is the end of the regular-season schedule for the Orange and Blue. Now the Gator Nation waits with bated breath to hear which bowl game their beloved football team will play in this December. Stay tuned to this website for more information.

Football Power Index prediction strongly favors Florida vs. FSU

ESPN’s FPI gives Florida over an 80% chance of prevailing over FSU in Tallahassee on Saturday.

The final game of the 2024 college football season is nearly here, which means the annual matchup between the Florida Gators and Florida State Seminoles is on deck. This year’s edition of the Sunshine State’s biggest rivalry brings with it an unexpected narrative.

The Orange and Blue have surged over the past couple of weeks, proving the naysayers wrong by reaching the six-win mark and locking into a postseason appearance. Billy Napier’s once-hot coach seat has now cooled to a temperate level since the program put its faith in the third-year skipper.

The Garnet and Gold are heading in the opposite direction having gone undefeated during the regular season last year and coming into this fall near the top of the rankings. It has been a brutal campaign for Mike Norvell to stomach, but that is life in the transfer portal era.

Football Power Index prediction

ESPN’s FPI, which predicts the outcome of each college football game every week, gives Florida an 82.7% chance of winning over FSU.

The Gators are ranked 25th in the FPI this week, with the team’s overall rating rising from 10.5 last week to 11.6 this week. That puts them between the No. 24 Colorado Buffaloes and No. 26 Iowa State Cyclones.
