It released a way-too-early top 25 for the 2023 college football season,

and when you look at the top of the rankings, some very familiar teams are there.

For Ohio State, the expectation is the program doesn’t rebuild, it reloads.

Will that be the case once again in 2023? It very much looks to be. 247Sports has the Buckeyes as a top-five team once again,

but how high were they ranked? Find out below where the Buckeyes landed along with the rest of the early top 25.
