Saunders Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Quote Big Ten Rankings ESPN has updated its College Football Power Index rankings ahead of the 2021 season, a complete Big Ten Conference-wide look at how the computers believe teams will finish this fall and which programs will be worthy of College Football Playoff mention coming down the stretch. 10. Purdue Boilermakers (5.0) 9. Minnesota Golden Gophers (5.1) 8. Nebraska Huskers (5.3) Jeff Brohm and the Boilermakers will try and recapture some of that magic established during his first season (2017) this fall that has escaped the program each of the past three years. Inconsistency on both sides of the football has stunted Purdue's progress a bit and ESPN's FPI points to this team teetering on bowl eligibility in 2021. Nebraska actually has a better shot at winning the division, per the computers, than Minnesota at 4.1% to 3.1%, by comparison. However, Scott Frost's team sits at 54% in getting to the postseason, which is a must this fall for the Huskers. https://247sports.com/LongFormArticle/Big-Ten-power-rankings-Ohio-State-Buckeyes-Michigan-Wolverines-Nebraska-Penn-State-Wisconsin-ESPN-165506080/#165506080_3 Quote Full FPI Rankings: https://www.espn.com/college-football/fpi Huskers come in at #46 with a projected W/L of 5.7-6.4 4 Quote Link to comment
