2023 Resume College Football Power Index - ESPN
View the 2023 Resume College Football power index on ESPN. The FPI is the best predictor of a team's performance of the season.
ESPN has PSU as having the 14th hardest schedule in 2023
- Thread starter Online Persona
- Start date
five of the top 12 are B1G East. Another, MN, is from the B1G west but plays both tOSU and UM in 2023.
These are ridiculous.
Compare OSU and UM to us.
We are 14 UM is 21 and OSU is 23Schedule difference.
OSU host us and go to Um.
We host um and go to OSU.
UM host OSU and go to Us.
Cross over ganes
.@ Ill/Iowa/@NW for us @Wiscy/@Pur/Minny. I give the edge it OSU.
@Neb/@minny/Pur for UM
I feel OSU has the toughest crossover. I feel ours ours UM are about even
Look at OOC.
YSU/WKU/@ND for OSU
Del/Umass/WVU for us.
ECU/UNLV/BG for UM
The toughest division Gane us MSU - OSU HOSTS we and Um go there.
my opinion
OSU has the toughest. UM and us are close we may get the edge due to WVU but they don’t have FBS.

I read the Notre Dame boards quite a bit and this year's ND-OSU game in South Bend should really be a good one as many feel this will be ND's best offense in years with Hartmann at QB. And against OSU's crappy defense ? ND could very well win this one or so they seem to think
Plus ND gets them early enough that their 60% new OL may not be gelled. I think if ND puts pressure on the QB, they have a punchers chance.
That seems to be the feeling on a few of the OSU boards as they'll have 3 new OL starters whch should be fine later on, but early? But, many of their backup OL in 2022 played a lot and have some experience.
Their fans biggest concern - like many of us - centers around their shit defense - especially against bigtime opponents who they collapsed against in 2022. Hell, they had a 14-point 4th quarter lead against Georgia in the Playoffs and even blew that lead. They SUCK
Don't count on a ND win. OSU most likely undefeated headed into their game with scUM.
Comparing OSU and UM to us you'll notice that UM doesn't play UM and OSU doesn't play OSU...
We play both. If you replaced PSU on UMs schedule with UM and swapped UM with PSU on ours they'd be ranked higher. Ditto if you did the same with OSU. Obviously that's not possible.
In FPI OSU us 1 UM is 6th and we are 10th.
I get they are ranked higher but I don’t but it. Especially OSU.
OSU has the toughest 2 crossover games compared to us. All 3 of theirs are top 50. Our 2nd best is Ill who is barely tougher than Pur who is the weakest OSU plays. Then compare ND to WVU.
I have no clue how we have tougher schedule than them.
This is BS - I went on the sPitter site and they said we play only a bunch of “soup cans” way easy schedule and they should know I hear they are all MENSA members.
From another source:
"So they take an average FBS team (presumably 0.0 FPI rating), simulate that team playing through every team's schedule, and then sort by projected win total."
The average FBS team beats us at home that many more times than they do OSU on the road.
Every decade or so ND wins a big game. Same could be said of a lot of teams. But none of the others get the acclaim as the most overrated program in college football over the last 40 or so years.
You don’t have to go on the Pitt board to read those kind of posts, you can read plenty of them here from some of our so called fans.
You're going to be really disappointed this year when ND rolls the Suckeyes on their way to the NC. This is by far ND's most explosive offense in decades with CF's best QB - Sam Hartman. This team is LOADED.
Take it to the bank predictions:
ND 42 - OSU 35 (OSU gets a ton of late garbage points).
NC Game - ND 35 - Alabama 21.
1988 called, they want to know when you’re coming back.
Are you a parody account like that one where the Buckeye poster pretends to be an over the top Michigan fan?
The Gipper, Rockne, the Four Horseman and Oh yeah, the greatest QB in history - Joe Montana. Need I say anymore? Every program wishes they're Notre Dame
Actually, I think this could be Wolve1972 - just in a ND disguise. I've seen him on several boards trying to stir up the masses
Why would I be disappointed? My statement about ND being overrated the last 40 or so years doesn’t change if ND beats OSU. I would love to see OSU lose. You would think that sooner or later ND would accomplish something to match the hype, but I won’t hold my breath.
Hahaha NC game. What are you drinking today?
I’m on the fence with wanting to see ND beat OSU. it’s probably a coin flip for me
I think he’s that guy who used to pretend he was a Michigan fan and now pretends to be a delusional ND Fan - he is too funny
I think you're talking about Wolve1972 and try taking a trip to the Nebraska and Iowa Rivals boards once the football season starts - it's comedy at it's best
At least the worrywarts here aren’t as bad as the Rutgers fans. They complain that since joining the BIG they’re forced to play 9 BIG teams a year. This unfairness is preventing them from claiming their true status as an elite program.
At least you can read that site Thomas - hell, I'm still banned. They have no sense of humor
If you even come close to saying anything positive about PSU, they'll ban you. There's a deep hate over there for Penn State. Maybe even worse than the Lair. Knowing you, I have a feeling you were pushing something pro-PSU at themAt least you can read that site Thomas - hell, I'm still banned. They have no sense of humor
That’s because unlike you, I’m not a troublemaker.😀🥹😅😃😄😂😇😁😆🥲 No matter what site I visit I’m respectful, courteous and kind, just like a Boy Scout. Therefore, over time I get to read endless amounts of stupidity, whereas you get the hook quicker than a bad vaudevillian tap dancer. May all the blessings of the prophet be upon you my friend this season no matter who you claim to be and where.At least you can read that site Thomas - hell, I'm still banned.

Michigan has a proven QB. O$U and PSU don’t.
Michigan has a great RB tandem. PSU does, too but not O$U.
Michigan and PSU have great defenses. O$U doesn’t.
Michigan and PSU have pretty darn OLs. O$U doesn’t.
I’m not buying O$U stock especially early on the road in South Bend. They got great receivers, that’s it.
Michigan is the team to beat and PSU gets them at the Beav! I wouldn’t be surprised if they aren’t #1 at that point.

The OSU offense will end up (emphasis on end up) being one of the top 2 or 3 in the country because of a better running attack this year. But I do think their new QB will need a few games to get his feet wet.
With that said, OSU's issue the last few years hasn't been their offense. We all know what it is and I'll just leave it there (hint: their defense has sucked).

Travel around some of the B1G boards and there's a common theme - the B1G championship goes through the OSU defense in 2023. If they suck again, they'll lose a couple of games again this year to both PSU and UM and PSU could very well win it all since their game with Michigan is at home. If OSU can even improve to an average high school defense this coming year, it could be over for the rest of the conference.
And Jesus, do you know anything about the RBs at those 3 schools? OSU might have the deepest RB room in the country this year if - a big if - they can stay healthy unlike 2022. Their top 3 RBs going into 2022, former HS #1 Henderson, #6 Evan Pryor and Miyan Williams all suffered injury plagued seasons which left a good part of the load to true freshman Dallan Hayden. All 4 are returning this year after Tennessee tried in vain to get Hayden to transfer back to his home state.
And when was the last time you saw an OSU OL that wasn't really good? They lose OL players to the NFL every year

Yeah, agree, the OSU RBs will be very, very good and deep if they can stay healthy this year unlike 2022. No idea why some think their offense will have any weaknesses. Their whole season rides on their defense and that shouldn't be any big revelation to anyone that even remotely follows CF
I think their OL will take some time to gel with 3 new starters replacing nfl guys. Notre Dame may just catch you early enough to exploit that. And Michigan has dominated you upfront for 2 years now. PSU has a chance to exploit that OL as well with some of our athletes. Your OL should be improved by the time we play you.
The O$U tandem is third behind scUM and PSU… I don’t read HS clippings. They’re OL maybe #3, too, with an inexperienced QB. All world WRs for sure. The offense is not what it was the last few years because it doesn’t have a Fields or Stroud. Read that!
Just by your standards. The point was that OSU goes 4-deep at RB and ESPN recently labeled them the deepest in the country. Henderson had close to 1600 total yards as a Freshman before he was hurt last year as a sophomore. Those aren't HS stats Einstein
And that offense - well, 247 Sports labeled them as the best in the country. Here ya go:
