Ohio State celebrates after their win against Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff national championship game Monday, Jan. 20, 2025, in Atlanta.

Ohio State sits atop the college football rankings, where it has been for almost the entire season.

But can it reverse its four-year losing streak to Michigan?

This is a different Buckeye team from the roster of veterans who stuck around to win the 2024 national title.

This year’s squad is a largely new cast, like quarterback Julian Sayin, a red-shirt freshman, and true-freshman running back Bo Jackson.

Here to talk about all things Buckeyes is longtime sports journalist Bill Rabinowitz. After a 25-year career at The Columbus Dispatch, he now writes on the Substack, a subscriber-based platform.

He’s written several books on Ohio State football, and his latest is titled Buckeye Brotherhood: How Ohio State Navigated a New World to Win A National Championship.
