Two Michigan losses and a national title? How EA Sports College Football 25 predicts Ohio State 2024 season

The Ohio State 2024 football season is less than 50 days away. But many Buckeye fans are seeing if they can lead Caleb Downs, TreVeyon Henderson, Emeka Egbuka and the rest of the team to a national championship.
