ESPN puts Ohio State at No. 1, four B1G teams in post-spring top 25
It’s still only May, and frankly, it’s meaningless at this point.
But Ohio State is No. 1.
The Buckeyes were moved up from No. 4 to No. 1 in ESPN’s post-spring top 25. The Buckeyes leapfrogged the likes of Alabama, Florida State and USC to claim the early No. 1 spot.
Why did the Buckeyes move up? ESPN’s Mark Schlabach wrote that OSU didn’t have nearly the turnover that Alabama had after all the talent the Crimson Tide had selected in the draft. A total of 15 starters back pushed OSU to ESPN’s No. 1 spot.
Michigan held tight at No. 14 while Wisconsin moved up one spot to No. 12 and Penn State stayed at No. 5.
Here was the post-spring top 25 Schlabach had:
- Ohio State
