Ohio State is expected to be right up top of the Big Ten alongside the Oregon Ducks and Michigan Wolverines.

Ryan Day had one of his most impressive recruiting performances this year and has continued to build a formidable defensive unit in Columbus.

Beyond the new recruits and transfer players joining the Buckeyes' roster, Ohio State had the second-best defense last season for points against, allowing opponents to score only 11 points per game.
