Ohio State kicks off their 114th season ranked No. 1, chasing their first Big Ten title since 2020 and a national championship under Ryan Day’s ninth season opener—where they’re undefeated with a 26-game winning streak. Led by Heisman finalist Julian Sayin and explosive WR Jeremiah Smith, the Buckeyes average over 25-point wins in openers and rank tied with Alabama for most 50+ point games since 2019.

Ball State, coming off a four-win season under Mike Uremovich, faces an uphill battle against a dominant unit that’s lost key NFL draft picks but remains nationally feared.
