Although Ohio State football did not make it to the College Football Playoffs this season, they have replenished their roster, as they usually do.
While some key signings were made through the transfer portal, other players chose to come back for another shot. This appears to be positioning the Buckeyes for a CFP and 247Sports comeback. According to Brad Crawford, such is the case.
Having made an educated prediction as to which twelve teams will be on the expanded field, he has Ohio State as his top overall seed, which will earn them a bye in the opening round. Crawford predicted that the Buckeyes will play Michigan in the second round, which is a very intriguing matchup.
According to estimates, The Game might return to the Rose Bowl as the eighth seed, which would set up a potential rematch. This might be the third meeting between the two in 2024, the last regular season game, the Big Ten championship, and then again in the “Granddaddy of Them All.”
The selection committee “will do everything in their power within the bracket to avoid this,” as Crawford continues, but this could actually be how the new CFP works out.

Fortunately, he believes the Buckeyes will overcome the Wolverines in the probable third game, moving on to the semifinals, where they will face Texas. “Most of these ‘good on good’ matchups versus Michigan or in the postseason in recent years haven’t gone in Ohio State’s favor,” Crawford notes with caution.

If his assessment is accurate, Ohio State will have an opportunity to face some of its past mistakes.
