Not sure if this was discussed anywhere. ESPN's Football Power Index is out for 2023 and Ohio State is #1, the prohibitive favorite to win the Big Ten, and has the best odds of winning the national championship.
View the 2024 College Football power index on ESPN. The FPI is the best predictor of a team's performance going forward for the rest of the season.
Win % projections to:
Win Division: OSU - 75.5%, UM - 17.6%
Win Confernce: OSU - 71.2%, UM - 14.3%
Make Playoff: OSU - 82.2%, UM - 25.9%
Rankings:
OSU - #1
UM - #6
PSU - #10
UW - #20
MSU - #31
This made me LOL, though. Wisconsin is at 47.9% to win the West... 5.9% to win the conference. The split for OSU and Michigan is 75.5% / 71.2% and 17.6% / 14.3%, respectively.
So is OSU returning like, everyone? No doubt they will always be in the top 2 or 3 but to be that far out in front surprised me. Especially the Big Ten prediction which essentially assumes they win in AA this year. Certainly possible, but 76% likely??
They also have the highest "win-out" percentage that applies to the regular season and CCG at 34.3%. That's for a team that plays at (as of this ranking): #6 Michigan, #8 ND, and #20 Wisconsin as has #10 PSU at home. So they are clearly considered the best team in CFB going into the season. Anything less than 15-0 is FAILURE.
EDIT: According to Athlon sports, OSU returns 57% of their offensive production from last season, The two-time defending Big Ten Champion Michigan Wolverines return 84%. Defense is even, 77/78.
