We’re getting closer and closer to the start of the college football season, and that means you’ll be able to dial up Ohio State on your big-screen high definition 4K, blah, blah, blah television soon.
Until then though, we’re going to see updates and projections about what will happen during the 2022 season over and over during the next month or so. One of the projections of the preseason we like to keep track of is what the ESPN Football Power Index (FPI) has to say about what teams are expected to be among the best in the country.
As a reminder, the FPI is designed to predict the future power or results of a team based on things like returning talent, recruiting classes, and historical results. So, based on that, you would expect Ohio State to be highly regarded coming into 2022, and you would in fact be correct.
Here’s an updated look at the ESPN FPI college football projected top 25 for this fall starting from No. 25 down to numero uno.
