Last offseason was all about championship expectations for Ohio State. The Buckeyes brought back nearly their entire senior class and had a “national championship or bust” mentality. Our 2024 fan survey showed the fan base had the same mindset.
More than 50 percent of voters last year thought Ohio State would go undefeated and nearly half said that a national championship appearance would be a successful season. Ohio State didn’t reach all of those goals — it lost to Michigan and Oregon and didn’t win the Big Ten title — but it rallied to win its first national championship since 2014.

Now, expectations are different in an offseason that brings (mostly) different storylines.
Ohio State just had 14 players selected in the NFL Draft and is looking for a new quarterback and entirely new defensive line. It also has some changes on the coaching staff. The Buckeyes will likely be a top-five team when the season begins on Aug. 30, but it doesn’t feel like championship-or-bust anymore.
Ending a four-game losing streak to Michigan is a must, of course, and as usual a Playoff berth is the baseline expectation for one of the top programs in the sport.
But could Ohio State put all of its talent together and repeat? The Athletic’s fan survey is back and invites Ohio State fans to share their thoughts and predictions heading into the 2025 season.
Submit your responses in the form below and I’ll provide analysis next week. (NOTE: Readers who are using our app on an Android device may need to use two fingers to scroll through the survey. Still unable to get to the survey? Try this direct link.)

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have become better people together and Eric Andrews ‘christens’ singer with adorable name
Taylor Swift continues to show that her influence goes far beyond the stage. While she may be a pop icon with sold-out stadium tours and chart-topping albums, it's her compassion offstage that recently earned her the title of a "real-life angel."The global music sensation and girlfriend of Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce surprised patients and staff with a visit to Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital in Hollywood, Florida. Fan screams as Taylor Swift surprises him in hospitalHer appearance, which came shortly after attending an NHL Stanley Cup game with Kelce, wasn't part of a press tour or promotional event-it was simply a genuine gesture of kindness.Though details of her hospital visit were kept relatively private, the hospital shared a heartfelt post on social media thanking Swift for bringing smiles to the children and families.

Nobody wants a Jack Grealish who looks unrecognisable on his holiday
Jack Grealish is on his way out of Manchester City. The 'citizen' club has not yet received any offers for the 29-year-old winger, who was signed in August 2021 for a record fee of 100 million pounds.

His latest holiday image, while City are preparing to face the Club World Cup, caused a lot of talk on social media.Grealish, who is under contract until 2027 and earns £300,000 a week, was not included in the 27-man squad that travelled to Boca Raton, Florida, for the Club World Cup. Pep Guardiola took the drastic decision to leave him out of the squad, intensifying speculation about his departure.Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. makes IShowSpeed look silly in resurfaced […]
Angel Reese powers up with confidence taking advantage of the online trolling
It looks like Angel Reesehas officially had enough of feeling down about the noise outside the court. After a few tough weeks where the energy just wasn't there and she leaned on her teammates to carry the vibe, the "Bayou Barbie" flipped the switch. Instead of retreating from the criticism, she decided to turn it into fuel - embracing the trolls and strutting into her next chapter with confidence, a bold new look, and plenty to say. Gone is the version of Reese who seemed to carry the weight of public perception. What we're seeing now is a player ready to take the heat and turn it into highlight-reel energy. She lit up TikTok with a burst of confidence, not just brushing off the negativity but practically inviting it, using it as a stage rather than a stumbling block. It […]
