Rejoice Ohio State football fans. All the speculation and hand-wringing can finally end because the Buckeyes actually had a game that felt pretty normal after one of the oddest and most challenging seasons in the history of the sport in 2020.
It wasn’t always pretty, but OSU found itself in the second half against a veteran and game Minnesota team to win a contest that may not ever be fully appreciated by the national media.
One of the things we like to follow throughout the season is how the ESPN FPI Matchup Predictor sees every Ohio State game going. We check-in during the season, and now that we’ve had a full week of games, there are sure to be some changes with the win probabilities for each of OSU’s remaining games.
So, time to examine what ESPN predicts when it comes to the chances of winning each of its final games in 2021 and the change from before any games took place.
