2021 Record: 11-2 (8-1)

Last season was a failure by Ohio State standards. Ohio State lives by different rules and expectations. Any season that doesn’t end with a Big Ten title is not living up to expectations.

Ohio State will bring back the most explosive offense in the conference. C.J. Stroud is back and so are most of his weapons. The Buckeyes will have no problem replicating the 45 points per game they scored last season.

The defense will look to improve on last season. A new coordinator should fix what was an above-average unit last season.

Ohio State failed to win the conference for the first time since 2016. It’s not like they needed the motivation to be the best team in the conference, but now they have it.
