If you are like me, you’ve gotten the summer vacation out of the way and are now buckled in and turning your focus to the upcoming college football season. Things have flown by since we last saw Ohio State play a game for the ages against Utah in the Rose Bowl, and now we are just a couple of months away from some scarlet and gray showing up on a high-definition television or streaming device near you.
Each year, we like to keep an eye on what ESPN’s Football Power Index says about the Buckeyes. And as the season draws near and in-season, its “Matchup Predictor” uses bleeps and bloops to churn out the percentage chance of Ohio State winning each game on its schedule.
As luck would have it, the scientists, epidemiologists, and Pythagorean Theory-types have sprung those chances of winning each game on the 2022 schedule on us for the first time this season.
So, now that I’m back from sailing the high seas with Mickey Mouse and my family, it’s time to see what the worldwide leader thinks the chances of OSU winning all of its 2022 regular-schedule American college football games are.
We start with Notre Dame (yeah, that should be fun), and work our way down to Michigan (also fun in a revenge and TPing the Wolverine neighbor sort of way).
