• How this likeliness is calculated. 
• Calculating a teams "strength", including the inputs and data that ESPN collects and analyzes. 
• The relationship FPI has to the Vegas books when it comes to picking favorites.

Name, image and likeness is starting to dominate college football. This episode of SE examines the NIL impacts for CFB, as well as other sports including impacts across Division I, II and III. 

How does the transfer portal fit into this? With CFB players now getting one opportunity to transfer schools and become immediately eligible, players may be more willing to take greater NIL chances out of high school and that includes getting paid to play.
