The Ohio State Buckeyes always seem to be towards the top of the preseason AP Poll. They begin 2022 as the #2 team in the country, only trailing Alabama. This is for good reason, as they return most of they big stars from last year, including quarterback CJ Stroud.
Ohio State was in a position to make the College Football Playoff last season, but they dropped their first game to Michigan in 10 years and missed the Big Ten Championship Game. This ended their hopes at a championship in 2021, but they are out for revenge this season.
The Buckeyes have a tough schedu le this year, facing 4 AP Preseason Top 25 teams. However, they do get Notre Dame and Michigan at home, so that should help them out a bit. They have 8 games at home and only go on the road 4 times this season.
