Ohio State is a popular pick among national sports websites to make the College Football Playoff and compete for a national championship in 2022.
As Ohio State looks toward its first game against Notre Dame, many national sports websites have fixed their eyes on what lies after the regular season by submitting their College Football Playoff predictions.
CBS Sports, The Athletic and Sporting News were among the many outlets to send their staff writers’ picks to the public. The Buckeyes were a unanimous pick to make the CFP as one of the top four teams in the country, with many choosing them to face Alabama in the national title game. Ohio State’s returning talent on offense offers confidence to writers with a bird’s-eye view of the program. C.J. Stroud will be a Heisman Trophy frontrunner with an entire season of experience. At the same time, Jaxon Smith-Njigba highlights a receiver room with rising stars Marvin Harrison Jr., Julian Fleming and Emeka Egbuka. TreVeyon Henderson also returns with All-American expectations after a breakout year as a freshman.
The only concerns writers possess for the Buckeyes lie with the defense. However, with first-year defensive coordinator Jim Knowles in control, there’s a lot of optimism that Ohio State will reach its full potential defensively as four- and five-star talent roam the field. To dive deeper into the national websites’ picks, we look at how their CFP predictions turned out and what some of their writers said about Ohio State’s chances to win a national championship in 2022.
