ESPN Updates FPI College Football Rankings After Saturday

Following a raucous Week 1 Saturday, ESPN has updated its Football Power Index (FPI) rankings.

The FPI is a rating system developed over a decade ago to measure team performance in a predictive model. It estimates production from each team's offense, defense and special teams units to create the most accurate possible matchup expectation, like you see on ESPN all the time.

You can view the full FPI top 25 following Week 1 Saturday right here:

1. Georgia
2. Alabama
3. Texas
4. Ohio State
5. Penn State
6. Notre Dame
7. Tennessee
8. Ole Miss
9. Oklahoma
10. Oregon
11. Miami
12. Missouri
13. Louisville
14. LSU
15. Michigan
16. Auburn
17. Florida State
18. Texas A&M
19. USC
20. Kansas
21. UCF
22. Kansas State
23. Clemson
24. Arizona
25. Utah

The SEC places a triumvirate of teams at the very top of the rankings after each of Georgia, Alabama and Texas steamrolled their opponents — Georgia's just happened to be Clemson, who they beat 34-3. Then, Ohio State arrives as the first Big Ten team.

Notably, though, another Big Ten team, Oregon, plummeted from the top of the rankings after they narrowly squeaked out a win over the Idaho Vandals. They're all the way down at 10th after coming into the weekend as the No. 2 overall squad.

Dan Lanning won't panic, though, because Oregon also got out of the gates slow in his first two seasons. In 2022, Georgia and Kirby Smart defeated the former Bulldog defensive coordinator 49-3 in his head coaching debut. Then, in 2023, Oregon only staved off Texas Tech by eight points.

Oregon has had these scary Week 1s before and bounced back remarkably both times.
