Observed win probability

SMU Mustangs: latest 100.0% · ESPN estimates across observed plays.

Observed . Estimates can change; no probability is a promise.

Method

Only observed fields are shown. Team box scores do not isolate red-zone touchdowns or offense-only points per drive; current injury reports and outdoor forecasts cover only supported leagues and venues. Projections start with three current-season games or a prior-season rating; early-season estimates are excluded from picks.
