Throughout the course of the Ohio State football season, we like to keep an eye on what the ESPN computers say about the Buckeyes’ chances of winning each of its remaining games. It’s one thing to get a look at what the bleeps and bloops of the computer say before the season begins, and now that we have some game film to look at for all of the opponents, there’s some actual concrete data to go by.
Even more as the weeks pass by.

Do the computers still believe the Buckeyes can get past all of the rest of its remaining opponents? What about the trip into Happy Valley to play Penn State? What about upstart Indiana, a Nebraska team that’s up this weekend, and of course — Michigan?
Here’s a look at the updated percentage chances of OSU winning each of its remaining games according to the ESPN ‘matchup predictor’ after Week 8 of the season.
