After the spring football season went off relatively smoothly for most Ohio State and other college programs, we’ve seen a slew of projections when it comes to the top 25 teams heading into this fall. We even went out and performed the exercise ourselves.
Well, our mothership, national USA TODAY Sports also did the same, with Erick Smith in the driver’s seat for the exercise.
We don’t have to tell you that Ohio State is pretty high on this projection, as it has been with almost every single one we’ve seen, but where are the Buckeyes after the recent update. In the first way-too-early projection by Smith has OSU at No. 5 behind Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Clemson.
But now that has changed a wee bit. Let’s get to where Smith has Ohio State after all the fun of spring and beyond, and what he says about the Buckeyes in 2021.
