No. 4 – Ohio State offense over the next three seasons
What We Say
These things are awfully hard to quantify, but there’s no doubt Ohio State is set up for success on the offensive side of the ball for the next several years. The wide receiver room has more talent in it than I can ever remember, the offensive line is always good, and someone is going to be a star at quarterback between guys competing this year — C.J. Stroud, Jack Miller, Kyle McCord — and Quinn Ewers in 2022. The running backs will be varied, talented and deep as well.
In fact, just looking at the skill positions, OSU pulled in the top-ranked receiver from the 2020 (Julian Fleming) and 2021 (Emeka Egbuka) classes, and has the top one of 2022 (Caleb Burton) committed. It also pulled in TreVeyon Henderson, who was widely considered the best running back for the 2021 class.
It’s hard to believe that doesn’t equate to being in the top three, but I guess you have to give other teams their due as well. Among the top ten in ESPN’s offensive rankings for next three years are Oklahoma (1), Alabama (2), Clemson (3), Ohio State (4), Georgia (5), Texas A&M (6), USC (7), Florida (8), Texas (9) and North Carolina (10).
