Ohio State is back at No. 1 in the AP preseason poll, fueled by returning stars and a stacked schedule that could make them playoff contenders—or break them.

Thanksgiving weekend against No. 16 Michigan—a game that could define both teams’ playoff futures. Coach Ryan Day has his hands full, but this loaded slate might be exactly what Ohio State needs to prove they’re for real.
