The Ohio State Buckeyes lost significant talent to the 2025 NFL Draft shortly after wrapping up its National Championship-winning season. The 2025 season is quickly becoming the program's focus in the wake of its incredible year.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are enjoying their national championship as much as they can, but it didn't take long for the rest of the country to turn their attention to next season. The Buckeyes have already lost Jim Knowles as defensive coordinator and could see Chip Kelly depart as well.

"First, Ohio State (No. 1 on [Mark] Schlabach's list) is obviously in despite a challenging 2025 schedule (No. 2 Texas and No. 3 Penn State at home, No. 13 Illinois and No. 21 Michigan on the road) and the requisite loss to the Wolverines," Connelly noted. "The Buckeyes will go 2-1 against the other headliners and advance at 10-2."

Here's a look at how many national championships Ohio State football has won heading into the Buckeyes' CFP title game matchup with Notre Dame:
