Ohio State football hasn’t ever played these 39 FBS teams. Some are surprising.

Despite its long history of playing college football. Ohio State has yet to play 39 FBS programs. Some are surprising. Here’s the list.

The Mid-American Conference

Ball State*

Central Michigan

The Buckeyes have a long history of playing MAC schools because the footprint of the conference overlaps the Big Ten. Also, six of the twelve schools are in Ohio. Still, no Ball State or Central Michigan is hard to believe. We have a feeling both will eventually be crossed off the list.

* Ohio State is set to host Ball State in 2026

Next … The Mountain West
