ESPN’s FPI predicts B1G East title race following Week 7 action
Published:
ESPN’s FPI has updated itself after Week 7. The B1G East is home to just two undefeated teams now.
Penn State lost to Michigan 41-17 and now has one loss on its record. Ohio State had a bye week and held onto its undefeated record through six games. After those three teams, the FPI is not favoring anyone else from the devision.
Ohio State still has the highest chance when compared to the Week 6 predictions. Michigan’s chances have slightly gone up after beating Penn State in Ann Arbor. The Nittany Lions now have the lowest chances of winning the east after Week 7.
The FPI sees the B1G East as a two-horse race now. If both Ohio State and Michigan can stay undefeated heading into “The Game” on Nov. 26, it should be a photo finish for the division.
Here’s how the Football Power Index odds are looking after Week 7:
- Ohio State – 70.7%
- Michigan – 27.8%
- Penn State – 1.5%
