Two weeks down and two victories for the Ohio State football team. Things haven’t been a smooth and well-oiled operation so far in 2022, but it could be worse, just look around the country at teams like Wisconsin, Notre Dame, and Texas A&M that have already lost a game or two.
And while the Buckeyes have two double-digit wins under their belt, each week brings new observations and different data elements that get spit into the big machine that is the ESPN FPI matchup predictor.
We check in on what the percentages say about Ohio State’s chances of winning each remaining game on the schedule after each week, and things do change quite a bit. After last week, is OSU still favored in all of its games, or has someone like Michigan closed the gap enough in these crazy formula-driven predictions to make the Buckeyes no longer the favorite?
Here’s what all the data says on ESPN for the probabilities of winning each game on the remaining schedule for Ohio State.
