Head coach Urban Meyer led the Buckeyes to 11 or more wins for the sixth-straight season and also the Big Ten championship in 2017, narrowly missing a College Football Playoff berth. While Ohio State will lose record-setting quarterback and leader J.T. Barrett and some key players on the offensive and defensive lines, the program is stacked with talent across the board and is in position to continue to take home Big Ten titles and contend for the College Football Playoff.
