Utah is coming off of an 11 win season in 2019, and according to ESPN’s FPI, they think 11 wins could be possible again in 2020. Of course, FPI can be volatile at times, but it is an interesting metric to look at, especially when you consider the Utes are reloading across the board on defense, are replacing a starting QB, and the best running back in school history.
Here’s a quick refresher on FPI:
FPI is a predictive rating system designed to measure team strength and project performance going forward. The ultimate goal of FPI is not to rank teams 1 through 128; rather, it is to correctly predict games and season outcomes.
