The Ohio State football team is beginning to look like a bunch that is coming together. The wins haven’t exactly been against the best in the country, but Rutgers more than hung with Michigan, and OSU ran the Scarlet Knights off the field early in the game Saturday.
It all has Buckeye fans feeling more optimistic about what might happen in 2021, and has many now pointing toward a team in Columbus that might be getting its act together just in time to make a run at some pretty special things.
Now, all the caveats and disclaimer apply here about the level of competition, but OSU struggled against the likes of Tulsa a couple of weeks ago, so it’s definitely better than the alternative.
With the last couple of improving weeks in the rearview mirror, it feels like a good time to check in with what the ESPN FPI now says about predicting the remainder of the Ohio State football schedule. Has OSU made any progress in the percentage chance of winning each game? Is Michigan still favored to take down the Buckeyes in the Big House at the end of the year?
Let’s get into it, shall we?
