Ohio State

They finished the 2025 regular season undefeated, only losing 13-10 to Indiana in the Big Ten Championship Game. While their College Football Playoff run ended with a disappointing 24-10 loss to the Miami Hurricanes, the Buckeyes entered the season as potentially the best team in the country.

Julian Sayin returned for his second season as a starting quarterback. They returned a ton of talent on offense, including Bo Jackson and an experienced offensive line.
