The Nebraska Cornhuskers fell sharply in ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI) rankings following their 49-14 loss to No. 6-ranked Oklahoma. The Huskers are now 1-3 on the season after wrapping up their non-conference slate against the Sooners. This Saturday is the first of two bye weeks for Nebraska before they begin Big Ten play at home against Indiana on October 1.
The FPI metric, according to ESPN, “measures team’s true strength on a net points scale; expected point margin vs. average opponent on neutral field.” The FPI also projects teams’ record, chances to win out, chances of winning out the rest of the season, including conference championship games, winning their conference, making the College Football Playoff, and winning the National Championship.
The Big Ten had a subpar showing overall, with six teams moving up in the rankings and eight teams taking a tumble.
