The Ohio State football team is ranked second overall in College Football 25
By Ryan Stano
The Ohio State football team should have one of the best teams in the country this season. It makes sense how good they will be when you look at the talent on both sides of the ball. The defense is better than the offense, but the offense still isn't bad.
EA Sports College Football 25 had Ohio State as the best defense in the entire game. Their offense was ranked fifth. Both seem fair when you look at where the other teams were ranked. The Buckeyes had a case to be the top-ranked team in the game based on those rankings.
In the end, the Ohio State football team will start the game as the second-ranked team in the country. They are only behind Georgia. Ohio State's overall ranking is 93 while Georgia's is 95. I think Ohio State should have been 94 overall and just one point behind the Bulldogs.
Ranking Georgia as the top team in the game is fair. They are a really good team and have some great talent. Ohio State being two is where they should be. Any lower would have been disrespectful. Oregon and Penn State are the only other two Big Ten teams in the Big Ten. Oregon is third and Penn State is ninth.
After Ohio State, Oregon is third with a 93 overall rating, Alabama is fourth with a 92 rating, and Texas is fifth with a 92 overall rating. Alabama seems high considering they lost some guys in the transfer portal after Nick Saban retired and lost a bunch of talent to the NFL.
I can't wait to play this game and play as the Buckeyes with players that are actually in the game. It will be worth the ten-year wait that all college football fans have had to suffer through to get this game.
