ESPN predictive FPI for every team on Ohio State football’s schedule in 2021

It takes into account all sorts of things, but we won’t dive too much into it. You can read up on it all by visiting ESPN.com and geek out at some of the analytics and all if you want. All we are doing is acting as the messenger here and passing on the information that Ohio State is expected to be pretty good again.
