Here we go with our weekly look at the ESPN Football Percentage Index and what it predicts will happen with the remaining games on Ohio State football’s 2020 schedule.
It’ll be interesting to get a peek at this week because some of the metrics and data points that go into these shenanigans won’t likely play well with how the sausage is made at ESPN. Ohio State gave up a slew of yards through the air and turned the ball over three times in a narrow escape against Indiana at home.
Still, this thing is really a body of work and plays into what the other teams have done as well. One week won’t move things too far as you’ll see, but the predictive curve is going in the wrong direction — albeit slightly.
Ohio State plays Illinois this week and needs to get back to playing the type of football this team is capable of and begin an important stretch on the journey to some pretty lofty goals.
So off we go, an updated look at ESPN’s FPI win probability model for Ohio State football’s remaining 2020 schedule.
