Ohio State Earns Top-5 Spot in First 2024 College Football Preseason Rankings
ESPN’s initial 2024 college football preseason rankings had the Ohio State Buckeyes in sixth place.
In his list of teams, ESPN expert Mark Schlabach placed the Buckeyes below the Georgia Bulldogs, Texas Longhorns, Oregon Ducks, and four other teams on Tuesday.
Having had a great deal of ups and downs throughout the summer, Ohio State concluded the 2023 campaign with an overall record of 11-2. Though a number of prominent individuals have left the program for ostensibly better opportunities, efforts have been made to make up for those losses with new hires and the transfer portal.
A few starters for the Ohio State Buckeyes have not yet declared whether or not they will be back next season. Denzel Burke, a cornerback, and Emeka Egbuka, a receiver, are a few of those names.
The Ohio State Buckeyes take face the Akron Zips at Ohio Stadium on Saturday, August 31, to begin their 2024 campaign. The contest’s start time has not yet been announced.
