Esecpn has the SEC as the #1 performing conference after week 1 (6-6), and the B1G as the #5 conference (12-2). No bias there.

The SEC had more quality losses than the Big Ten last week ....

Wow! That is blatant, shameless bias. There is just no possible way to defend that objectively.
They openly state that a big part of their fpi formula is the past 4 years performance (record) and recruiting rankings.
I kid you not, Iowa can't be that good this year because they played terrible in 2014, and how good a kid was in high school will tell you how good his college team will perform when he's a junior. That's FPI for you.

This is true. The formula weights/counts record over the past 4 years and recruiting rankings. Those two things can often be an indicator of how good/bad a team might be, but this concept of a FPI is just ridiculous, where performance on the field in the current year is not the most important factor.
of course you'll have more "quality losses" when you lose 3x as many games....
Just wait for Nicholls to miraculously show up as #10 in next week's poll...
them and Ap state are HIGHLY underrated
But no way UNC or UCLA could be overrated......
Fearless forecast: Nichols among teams receiving votes for hanging with UGA. Maybe even break into the top 25.
ESPN wants to have a say in the rankings in order to affect the playoff participants. That FPI crap scrolls across the bottom of the screen all day.
It's the worst joke in College Football. But so is ESPN.
