The Ohio State Buckeyes proved all of the doubters wrong during the 2020 college football season, easily handling Clemson before making the College Football Playoff National Championship. That 52-24 loss suffered against Alabama is sure to light a fire under the program heading into 2021.
After bringing in another top recruiting class, Ohio State remains one of the favorites in the odds to win the National Championship, per FanDuel Sportbook's college football futures.
Most 4/5 Star Commits in the 2021 Recruiting Class:

2. Oregon - 19
3. Ohio State - 18
4. LSU - 17
4. Clemson - 17
Ohio State National Championship Odds
The Buckeyes are fourth in the odds to win the National Championship at +600, keeping their odds steady from a couple of weeks ago. They only trail Alabama (+250), Clemson (+400) and Georgia (+450), while putting some distance between themselves and Oklahoma (+800) after previously being tied with the Sooners.
Ohio State's 2021 recruiting class ranked second in the nation, per 247Sports. They boast five 5-star recruits and an impressive 13 4-star prospects, only trailing the Crimson Tide for the best 2021 class in the nation.
Despite losing stud quarterback Justin Fields to the 2021 NFL Draft, Hesiamn Trophy contenders CJ Stroud and Master Teague will hopefully help lead this talented roster to a National Championship.
