ESPN’s senior writer Chris Low looks at the landscape of college football on a weekly basis and shuffles his power rankings based on results on the field. For the last couple, Ohio State was missing because the Big Ten postponed the fall season amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
But now, the conference is back in business because of improved testing and medical protocols.
Because of that Low has Ohio State also back in his power rankings, but how high did he go with the scarlet and gray thinking? Did he put them right back up near the top, or did he take the same tact as the Amway Coaches Poll power by USA TODAY and put the Buckeyes higher up but not among the best teams
It’s pretty good actually. Here’s where Low has OSU and what he says about the team.

No. 2 – Ohio State
What Low says about the Buckeyes
“The Buckeyes are hoping to get the band back together as they point toward their opener against Nebraska and another run at the national championship. Cornerback Shuan Wade and offensive lineman Wyatt Davis, both projected first-round NFL draft picks, are planning to return after initially opting out for this season. When you throw in quarterback Justin Fields, good luck finding a better quarterback/offensive lineman/cornerback trifecta on one team in college football.”
So what about the rest of Low’s top 25 power rankings?
