Ohio State ranked No. 5 in AP preseason poll

You have to think that the Urban Meyer investigation impacted their standing.

The first Associated Press poll of the 2018 college football season was released on Monday, and the Ohio State Buckeyes sit at No. 5 The ongoing paid administrative leave of head coach Urban Meyer— and the uncertainty of his future in Columbus— likely played at least a small part in the Buckeyes’ ranking.


Earlier this month, OSU was slotted into the third spot in the Coaches Poll. That poll was conducted before the announcement of Meyer’s absence, while the AP’s poll was taken while the OSU head coach was under investigation.

In the AP rankings, Alabama was selected as the preseason No. 1 for the third consecutive year, matching the feat achieved by the Barry Switzer-era Oklahoma Sooners.

The top five in the poll also included No. 2 Clemson, No. 3 Georgia, and No. 4 Wisconsin. Other Big Ten squads making the grade were No. 10 Penn State, No. 11 Michigan State, and No. 14 Michigan.

The Buckeyes’ Week 3 opponent, the TCU Horned Frogs, are on the list at No. 16. While early season polls are by no means a predictor of the teams that will eventually find themselves in the College Football Playoffs, the higher the initial ranking, the more leeway a team has if they stumble— especially early.

In addition to playing TCA in Arlington, Texas in mid-September, the Buckeyes will travel to Happy Valley on Sept. 29 to take on the Nittany Lions in what will be one of the most anticipated match-ups of the early season. If OSU drops either of those games, especially if it is close, their ranking should allow them the opportunity to climb back up into playoff contention as the season progresses.

The Buckeyes finished in the fifth spot following the 2017 season’s Cotton Bowl victory over USC.

Ohio State commit shines in overtime win

A future Buckeye quarterback was key in leading his team to a big time win over the weekend.

Future Buckeye QB shines in victory


While Ryan Day and the rest of the coaching staff are hard at work getting the Ohio State Buckeyes football squad ready for their season opener against Oregon State on Sept. 1, many of their current verbal commits were back in action over the weekend.

A number of future Bucks showed why they’re considered top prospects with their play on the field, but one 2020 commit in particular put up more than big numbers on Friday night.

Playing alongside fellow OSU running back commit Darvon Hubbard, standout junior quarterback Jack Miller didn’t just throw for over 400 yards, he led Chaparral High (Arizona) to an overtime win over Hamilton.

Connecting on 23 of his 46 passing attempts for three scores, Miller’s biggest touchdown completion of the evening came when his team needed it the most.

Trailing 33-30 to Hamilton in overtime, Miller connected with Marcus Norvell II on a huge third down play to end the game and give the Firebirds a 36-33 come from behind win.


Miller might’ve grabbed the headline with his play, but OSU commit Darvon Hubbard scored a pair of touchdowns for Chaparral— also demonstrating his skills.

2020 OL to commit soon


Already holding pledges from Jake Wray, Paris Johnson and Luke Wypler, Ohio State could soon add another prized lineman to their 2020 class.

Taking to his Twitter page to share with the world that he will shut down his recruitment sooner rather than later, five-star offensive guard Justin Rogers will pick his college destination in the coming weeks.


Considered the best guard and 14th overall prospect in the entire class of 2020, according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, Rogers has earned over 35 scholarship offers from programs across the country.

No stranger to the Ohio State campus, Rogers, an Oak Park, Michigan native, was once thought as an OSU lean by many, has since had programs such as the University of Georgia try to pluck the Oak Park High School teammate of current 2019 OSU commit Dwan Mathis out of the Buckeyes’ grasp.

Will Rogers end up in the Scarlet and Gray? We won’t have to wait much longer to find out. Stick with Land-Grant Holy Land for the latest.

Quick Hits

• Before he announces his college destination, four-star class of 2019 center Isaac Johnson plans to visit Ohio State, per Rivals. Not only eyeing OSU, the Utah standout will also check out the campuses of Utah, Oregon, (potentially) BYU, and Gonzaga before announcing his choice.
• Ohio State has offered Akron Buchtel class of 2022 shooting guard Chris Livingston. Still years away from playing on the next level, the 6-foot-4 Livingston has caught the attention of coaches from not just OSU, but also Kentucky, and others.
