While the Ohio State football season fell short of expectations for what we’ve grown accustomed to in Columbus, we’re already looking ahead to 2022. And we’re not the only ones. Almost every major media outlet has gone on the record to forecast what the landscape of college football will look like next season, and yeah, they all seem to have the Buckeyes high on the list.
As we make the rounds, you’ll see there is a consistent theme across the opinionmakers that Ohio State will be a team that should be in the mix for another Big Ten championship and spot in the College Football Playoff — almost without fail.
Here’s a quick whip-around at where some of the major sites project Ohio State football in the way-too-early national landscape when it comes to the 2022 season. I know it’s tempting, but don’t make any plans to visit L.A. and SoFi Stadium where the national championship game will be played just yet.
