Ohio State is the first team to ever receive a unanimous No. 1 AP preseason ranking. No, it’s true. That’s how good the Buckeyes are on paper and how little confidence the pollsters have in the rest of the field to overthrow the defending champions.
It’s hard to argue with them. A two-headed monster at QB, one of the greatest rushers in the country, next year’s likely No. 1 NFL Draft pick, decorated playmakers on both sides of the ball, a three-time national championship–winning coach and a lean schedule make it hard to see where Ohio State will trip up between now and January 11th.
