This third-game/redshirting thing is a concern to me, as well.
I will say for myself...college football is the only sport I really follow. I've never particularly cared for the NFL, largely because of how quickly the players move from one team to another (same for MLB, etc.) And well...here we are.
Sounds about right.Per Massey, which used to be one of the BCS rating systems, we have a 12.8% chance of losing out - roughly 1 in 8 shot; a 32.4% chance of winning 1 more game; a 32.8% chance at winning 2 more games (0.004% chance that the 2 games are OSU and Michigan); a 15.2% chance of winning 3 games, and a 6.8% chance of winning 4 or more games and going bowling.
Obviously this doesn't take into account win probabilities changing after each additional game.

If Sagarin gives a 5% chance of winning a game, then you add 0.05 to the total. If it's 26%, then you add 0.26.
You tell us. Give us the percentage chance you assign for each game and then add them up. That (plus the 2 we already won) is your expected win total.
Read The Upswing by Robert Putnam. We are riding the I-We-I curve down to its depths. NIL is a great example of what is down there.The 1950’s were a great decade.
