Way too early basketball polls have Ohio State in top ten for 2021

Where do some of the national media think the Ohio State basketball team will fall in the pecking order next year? Here’s your round-up.

On Monday night, the Baylor Bears won the NCAA college basketball national championship in a dominating performance. The confetti hasn’t yet been cleaned off the floor of Lucas Oil Stadium yet preseason polls for 2021 are already rolling in.

Where does Ohio State fall in these way too early rankings? It can get a little dicey and tricky with a bunch of unknowns so soon after the season has ended, but most have the Buckeyes in the top ten heading into next season.

Most will remember No. 15 seed Oral Roberts upending the Bucks tournament run, becoming only the ninth two seed to lose in the opening round. However, even with that loss, the fanfare is rolling in from the national media as we look ahead.

But where do some of the national players see Ohio State falling? We’re glad you asked.
