Ohio State Holds Top Spot in 2025 College Football Rankings While Penn State and Texas Drop

Ohio State Buckeyes Dominate College Football: A Comprehensive Look at Week 6
Ohio State’s Defense Sets New Benchmarks in College Football
The Ohio State Buckeyes’ defense is rapidly approaching legendary status within college football. Boasting historically low points allowed, they have become a benchmark for defensive excellence since Alabama’s 2011 squad. Through their first six games, Ohio State has conceded merely 5.5 points per game and has yet to allow a red-zone touchdown. This defensive feat is unmatched in recent memory, as they continue to restrict opponents to nine points or fewer, with only nine points conceded over their last two games combined.
Explosive Offensive Play Propels Ohio State Forward
Offensively, Ohio State is creating waves with stellar performances. In their recent matchup against Minnesota, the Buckeyes scored 42 points, spearheaded by quarterback Julian Sayin, who plays like a Heisman Trophy contender. Supporting Sayin are elite athletes such as Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate, along with emerging star tailback Bo Jackson. The team also benefits from defensive talent like safety Caleb Downs, solidifying their status as a formidable force in college football.
