Ranking Big Ten teams by spring 2023 ESPN FPI standings

Now that spring ball is mostly in the rearview mirror for just about every college football team, we can start looking forward to fall camp and the 2023 season. That will be the next time we see players take the field in any kind of meaningful action.

ESPN FPI is a predictive advanced analytics model that works to figure out what every game's winner will be, what each team's final record will be, which teams will win their division, conference, make the College Football Playoff, and national championship game — and then win it all.

Last year, Michigan football was projected at No. 7 in FPI, with a record of 9.5-2.6, a 1.2% chance it would go undefeated in the regular season, a 9.9% chance it would win the Big Ten East, and a 7.2% chance it would win the conference and make the College Football Playoff. The Wolverines 100% met all of those criteria, so take these predictions with a grain of salt.

Here is how ESPN FPI ranks each Big Ten team, its predicted record, chance to win the conference, make the College Football Playoff, make the national championship game and win it all.
