Matchup analysis
Our model projects TBD 26, TBD 26 on a neutral field at Lucas Oil Stadium in Week 14. That is a genuine toss-up: TBD wins about 50% of the time by our estimate, with a projected margin of 0 points and 51.5 combined points. Tags: coin flip.

College football is noisy: even a well-rated projection misses the final margin by about 14 points on average. Based on how real results have scattered around our numbers, the final margin should land somewhere between TBD by 23 and TBD by 23 about 80% of the time.
Neutral site, so no home-field points either way. The game is on Fox.
