4-8 with only 5 percentage points keeping us from 2-10. Not good when you consider they went 11 for 12 on us last year, the only wrong game was picking us to beat Iowa.

I was wondering how accurate they were last year. Thanks for the info on the unfortunate stat. Well maybe they suck in their predictive value this year lol.

Here's some granular 2025 detail:

GAME / OPPONENTLIKELIHOOD OF VICTORYResult
August 28th vs. Ohio83.6%WON
Sept. 6th vs. Miami-Ohio92.7%WON
Sept. 13th vs. Norfolk State99.0%WON
Sept. 19th vs. Iowa51.4%LOST
Sept. 27th @ Minnesota40.0%LOST
Oct. 10th @ Washington35.9%LOST
Oct. 18th vs. Oregon30.1%LOST
Oct. 25th @ Purdue78.9%WON
Nov. 1st @ Illinois40.2%LOST
Nov. 8th vs. Maryland70.2%WON
Nov. 22nd @ Ohio State12.9%LOST
Nov. 29th vs. Penn State18.4%LOST

Some Comments- Penn State was much closer than 18.4%, Miami Ohios should have been lower. 🤕


And could not find the full 2024 schedule, but after 2 cupcakes (included) the FPI Prediction was only 6-6:

WON, WON, WON, WON, LOST (hammered), LOST, LOST, WON, WON, LOST, WON

all I know if the BC game being that close in prediction is ridiculous. If the game is that close, we're in for a rough year
