Week 5 Chaos: Ohio State Reclaims FPI No. 1 as Missouri and Pittsburgh Surge

Week 5 delivered major ranking shifts, with Ohio State returning to the No. 1 spot in ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI) after a 31-14 win over Iowa. Missouri jumped 17 spots to No. 18 after a 45-17 blowout of Florida, while Pittsburgh entered the Top 25 at No. 23 following a 35-33 victory over Virginia Tech. The US LBM Coaches Poll kept Texas at No. 1, but the FPI’s metric-driven approach highlighted Ohio State’s dominance and the SEC’s internal volatility.

Buckeyes Jump to No. 1 in ESPN FPI After Texas Thriller

ESPN’s Football Power Index moved Ohio State to No. 1 after their 24–23 loss to Texas, explaining the shift as a predictive metric rather than a resume-based ranking. FPI uses 20,000 simulations to gauge team strength and future performance, which can elevate a team despite a late-game collapse. OSU now has about a 25% chance to win out this season and a 16.4% chance to win the national title, with remaining games against Indiana, Oregon, USC, Iowa, and Michigan, while Texas sits with roughly a 19.7% title odds. The ranking change reflects FPI’s forward-looking strength rather than the box score alone.

Experts Weigh In: Predictions for CFP Champion and Bowl Matchups

Urban Meyer confidently predicts the Oregon Ducks will win the College Football Playoff, citing their speed and his connection with Nike founder Phil Knight. Despite being the only unbeaten team, ESPN's Football Power Index ranks Oregon sixth, behind teams like Texas and Notre Dame. Oregon's high-powered offense, led by quarterback Dillon Gabriel, and a strong defense under coach Dan Lanning, position them as strong contenders. However, they must first face Penn State in the Big Ten Championship.
