Ohio State Buckeyes Face Challenging 2025 Schedule
The Ohio State Buckeyes are poised to field one of the top teams in the nation in 2025, but their schedule will be equally tough. With elite talent on both sides of the ball, including wide receiver Jeremiah Smith and safety Caleb Downs, Ohio State is set for a highly competitive season.
Their roster will draw attention from both casual fans and professional scouts alike. Early on, fans can expect plenty of exciting matchups as the Buckeyes take on one of the most grueling schedules in the Big Ten. Sporting News recently ranked each Big Ten team’s 2025 schedule, and while Ohio State is a powerhouse, they, of course, can’t face themselves like some other teams do.
The Buckeyes will kick off the season against Texas and will also face key opponents like Penn State and Michigan. Additionally, they’ll have a tricky away game at Illinois. Given these challenges, Ohio State’s schedule earned the fourth-hardest spot in the conference, according to Sporting News.
On3 provided further insights, quoting Daniel Hager, who wrote:
“The reigning National Champions have the fourth most challenging schedule this season according to The Sporting News. Ohio State opens the season at home on August 30 against Texas in a major non-conference clash, followed by games against Illinois, Michigan, and Penn State. The Buckeyes are aiming to end their four-year losing streak to Michigan, but a win in Ann Arbor is no easy feat.”
With these tough opponents on the horizon, Ohio State will certainly face some tough tests, especially with head coach Ryan Day under the spotlight in the Michigan game. Despite the tough road ahead, the Buckeyes remain heavily favored by the media to make the College Football Playoff, thanks to their wealth of talent. With just over a month until the Texas game, anticipation for the new season is building.
