ESPN updated its summer FPI rankings for the 2025 college football season and has Ohio State ranked highly, but where?

Auburn's 2025 football schedule includes challenging matchups against highly ranked teams like Georgia and Alabama. ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI) projects Auburn to win 7.5 games and gives them a 21.8% chance of making the College Football Playoff.

ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI) predicts the Kansas State Wildcats are most likely to win the Big 12. The Houston Cougars are projected to have the worst record in the Big 12, with fewer than five projected wins. Eight Big 12 teams have less than a 5% chance of making the College Football Playoffs, according to FPI.
