ESPN FPI projects the remaining games on Penn State Football's schedule
Following a 38-15 win over West Virginia this past weekend, Penn State Football will welcome Delaware to town for another home matchup inside of Beaver Stadium. But before that, let's take a look at the updated FPI projections from ESPN for the remaining games on the Nittany Lions schedule.
Thanks to the ESPN Football Power Index, there is now an analytical way to predict the winner of each college football game in the entire nation. For those that aren't familiar with the FPI, you can read the definition of the index here.
Football Power Index (abbreviated as FPI) is a predictive rating system developed by ESPN that measures team strength and uses it to forecast game and season results in American football. Each team’s FPI rating is composed of predictive offensive, defensive, and special teams value, as measured by a function of expected points added (EPA). That rating is the basis for FPI’s game-level and season-level projections.
In the chart below, you can see the likelihood of Penn State Football winning each of the reaming three games on the 2023 football schedule.
