With the COVID-19 pandemic gripping the world, the fact that some of the college football preview magazines are starting to hit newsstands kind of snuck up on us all. One of the earliest to be available is the Athlon Sports College Football Preview and its top 25 rankings that are a part of it.
Ohio State is in the top five like it is for most every preseason publication and prediction, but not as high as we’ve seen others elevate the program. In fact, Athlon has Alabama ranked higher in its assessment than what almost every other website and publication does.
So where does the popular preseason magazine have the Buckeyes heading into 2020? It’s still an extremely good ranking. Click through the next page and see where Athlon pegs the Buckeyes, and what it says about OSU this fall.
