Penn State football favored in all remaining games per FPI

According to ESPN’s Football Prediction Index (FPI), Penn State is now favored to win every remaining game in its schedule. This shift follows recent performances by conference opponents, specifically Michigan and Washington, which influenced the win probability model.

Key matchups include a 56.4% win probability against Michigan and a 60.4% chance against Washington. Other projected outcomes include high win probabilities against Buffalo (98.1%), Rutgers (96.2%), and Temple (94.2%). The model also projects Penn State as a favorite in upcoming games against Wisconsin, Northwestern, USC, Purdue, Minnesota, and Maryland.

Looking ahead at the Big Ten schedule, Penn State faces several notable opponents. The matchup against USC is highlighted as a potential top-10 game, with the Nittany Lions projected as a slight home favorite. Earlier in the season, Northwestern recorded a victory over Penn State that resulted in the firing of James Franklin.
