It turns out ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI) may have been right about the Michigan Wolverines. Each week, the maize and blue seem to fall further and further down their rankings. Before the loss to the Washington Huskies this weekend, the Wolverines dropped outside of the top-25.
Now after the loss, Michigan ranks No. 31 after falling another five spots. This puts them as the No. 9 team in the Big Ten, with an expected record of 6.8-5.2. Their odds of making the College Football Playoff fell to a measly 2.7 percent, and the odds of winning the Big Ten are a lowly 0.
