ESPN Matchup Predictor updates chances of Ohio State beating Michigan

Every week during the 2023 college football season, we’ve been keeping tabs on what ESPN’s FPI (Football Power Index) Matchup Predictor has said about Ohio State football’s chances of winning each regular season game. It’s ebbed and flowed throughout the season and had the Buckeyes as favorites in every game for most of the year.

However, as both OSU and Michigan continued to win, the odds of the Buckeyes beating the Wolverines shrunk until the Maize and Blue were finally favored just a few weeks ago. Now, with “The Game” on the doorstep, the Matchup Predictor has updated Ohio State’s chances of winning up in Ann Arbor yet again and we’re here to update you on what the “worldwide leader’s” formula says.

We’ll start by recapping the schedule so far this season, where Ohio State lands in the top ten of the ESPN FPI rankings, then update you on where the percentage chance of OSU winning has swung this week.
