Based on ESPN's FPI, CU Wins the South

[Anonymous]

Individual FPI game projections for the contenders. I left out ASU as they only projected one win, against Utah. I think they have some issues with their FPI.

FPI’s biggest stats are total yards, turnovers, red zone efficiency…which Utah sucks at two of those. We have had wAAAAY too many TO’s and our red zone sucks. 

We could easily win the south. Especially if Joe is solid and Troy keeps getting better.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is FPI? Fresh pizza from Italy?

I’d like to hear more about this fresh Italian pizza…

Well will see by the last game of the season.
Allot of football and mishaps going to happen until the last game.

I’m still not sold on CU. Their wins have been against a crappy CSU, the Oregon dumpster fire, Oregon State, and Idaho State. Seems like everyone is giving them a ton of credit for hanging with Michigan for a half and coming close against USC.

They’re certainly better than they have been, but I can’t see them winning the South.
