However, things have changed as quarterback CJ Stroud has been drafted in the NFL and will have Kyle McCord under center. The team has a lot of talent in the wide receiver room, with Emeka Egbuka and Marvin Harrison Jr.
Ohio State's defensive line has a lot of talent and should be better. Expect another CFP appearance, as they have an incredible roster.
