What Are Fox’s Upscaled 4K Broadcasts?
Fox’s 4K live sports broadcasts are upscaled from 1080p HDR (High Dynamic Range). Upscaling is the process when one video format is converted to another. Fox takes the 1080p HDR signal and converts it to a 4K format. Upscaling 4K is not considered as good as native 4K, but the inclusion of HDR can offer heightened colors and vividness. ESPN also upscaled its 4K broadcasts from a 1080p HD signal.

Top ranked Ohio State (5-0) is a 14.5-point favorite to defeat 17th ranked Illinois (5-1). ESPN’s Matchup Predictor gives Ohio State a 82.3 percent chance of winning.

Who Are the Top Players in the Game?
Ohio State is led by sophomore QB Julian Sayin who’s completed an incredible 80.2 percent of his passes with 13 touchdowns. Illinois will be led by senior QB Luke Altmyer who’s completed 73.2 percent of his tosses with 12 TDs.
