This past weekend the Rutgers Football team suffered a tough 37-21 loss to the No. 17 ranked Indiana Hoosiers in the team's home opener. The Scarlet Knights are still favored in two of the team's final six games.

Thanks to the ESPN FPI, there is now an analytical way to predict the victor of each college football game in the entire nation. For those that aren't familiar with the FPI, you can read the definition of the index here.

Football Power Index (abbreviated as FPI) is a predictive rating system developed by ESPN that measures team strength and uses it to forecast game and season results in American football. Each team’s FPI rating is composed of predictive offensive, defensive, and special teams value, as measured by a function of expected points added (EPA). That rating is the basis for FPI’s game-level and season-level projections.
