Here’s a link to the ESPN FPI. The FPI is the expected point margin vs. an average FBS team.

Some highlights:
Army: -5.3
Navy: -10.7
AF: -2.1
Syracuse: 15.0
BC: -5.1
Troy: -6.2
LSU: 21.0
These FPI numbers suggest that the point spread vs Syracuse should be 20 points. Our performance against UTSA likely had a big impact on the spread.
If we played these teams this weekend:
Navy: we would be 5 point favorites.
Air Force: would be favored by 3 (probably by 6 since we play there, sorta). FPI ranks AF lower (74) than the CDS rankings (43), probably because of their cake schedule.
BC would be a toss up. Perhaps Army favored since we are at Michie.
Troy: Army by 4
LSU: LSU by a lot.
A win vs ‘Cuse would change these by a bunch.
