We now know the journey Ohio State will have to traverse in the 2025 postseason if it is to successfully defend its College Football Playoff national championship from last season.
It wasn’t the way anyone wanted things to end for Ohio State, with a narrow 13-10 loss in the Big Ten Championship Game against Indiana, but now it’s time to pull up the boot straps and try to make a run through the College Football Playoff and win back-to-back titles.
The final CFP rankings were announced on Sunday, and the Buckeyes dropped just one spot after the loss in Indy, down to No. 2, and will still receive a first-round bye and won’t play until the quarterfinals. We will find out exactly where the Buckeyes go later today, but there’s a destination that seems to be fairly certain. Here is the complete bracket for your viewing pleasure.
If Ohio State is to win that game, it’ll move on to face the winner of the quarterfinal matchup between No. 7 Texas A&M and No. 10 Miami (FL) in a semifinal.
