Coach: Jim Tressel (5th year at Ohio St.)
Team Name: Buckeyes
2004 Record: 8-4
2004 Big 10 Conference Record 4-4
2004 ATS Record: 7-5
Returning Starters: 18

Like we mentioned in the big 10 predictions page Ohio St. is talented enough to win the Big 10 and national title. They return 18 starters, 10 of which are on the defensive side of the ball. The strength of that defense is their outstanding trio of linebackers who form one of the nations best line backing cores. Ohio St. has an abundance of talent at the skilled positions on the offensive side of the ball lead by Ted Ginn Jr., which should take some pressure off of their stellar defense. A shot at the Rose Bowl will depend on games against the Hawkeyes in late September and when they visit Ann Arbor for the season finale.
