Last season was a magical journey for the Ohio State Buckeyes, but it didn’t begin that way. The Buckeyes finished the regular season with a 10-2 record, suffering losses to the Oregon Ducks and the Michigan Wolverines for the fourth consecutive yearOhio State did not qualify for the Big Ten Championship Game, and without the new 12-team College Football Playoff format, it wouldn’t have made it to the playoffs. However, it did make it and ultimately showcased the talent that many expected from the team.
The Buckeyes defeated the Tennessee Volunteers, Oregon Ducks, Texas Longhorns and Notre Dame Fighting Irish by double digits to secure the national championship. On “The Paul Finebaum Show,” the SEC Network analyst shared his thoughts on whether he believes the Buckeyes can win back-to-back championships in 20″There are so many things to like about Ohio State, but right now, I don’t think they will,” Finebaum said. “I think it’s extremely difficult to do that. The weight of the previous season is almost insurmountable… I think they’ll get back to the playoffs, but my sense is they won’t make it to the national championship game.”Finebaum has criticized the Buckeyes this offseason, stating that he believes Ohio State is overrated as they head into the 2025 season.
“I’m going to say it right now, I think the Buckeyes are overrated,” Finebaum previously said. “I think you’re overrated today because I think Julian Sayin is a good quarterback, but I don’t know if he’s ready to take on what you have to do to win a national championship.”25.
