The No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes are gearing up for their season opener on Saturday, August 31, against Akron. As usual, the home opener feels more like a warm-up, especially with Ohio State’s strong track record.
Here’s a fun fact: The Buckeyes have never lost to an Ohio team in Ohio Stadium. On top of that, they've won 24 consecutive season-openers and 45 straight games against Ohio teams.
Looking ahead, the season should heat up by October. Key matchups include an October 5 home game against No. 25 Iowa and an October 12 away game against No. 3 Oregon, a new Big Ten opponent. The latter is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated college football games of 2024. The annual showdown with Michigan is at home this year, scheduled for noon on November 30.
Despite head coach Ryan Day’s impressive 56-8 record, some fans are growing restless after three consecutive losses to Michigan. This year’s team is stacked with nearly as many five-star recruits as the rest of the Big Ten combined. Former Buckeyes quarterback Cardale Jones even called it a “national championship or bust” roster, according to ESPN.
With the Big Ten Championship and a deep College Football Playoff run both within reach, especially with the playoff expanding to 12 teams this season, expectations are high. But the big question remains: Does any of it matter if Day can’t beat the Wolverines?
