Ohio State Buckeyes

The Ohio State Buckeyes represent the Ohio State University, competing in the Big Ten Conference from Ohio Stadium—the Horseshoe—in Columbus, one of the sport's most iconic venues. The Buckeyes embody excellence at every level, with a recruiting machine that consistently attracts elite talent and a winning tradition that rivals any program. Ohio State's scarlet and gray, Script Ohio, and the dotting of the 'i' are among college football's most recognizable traditions. The program competes in the Big Ten and has been a perennial College Football Playoff contender. Buckeye Nation spans the globe, with fans filling the Horseshoe and traveling to every corner of the country.

Ohio State football began in 1890, and the program has become one of the sport's true blue bloods under Woody Hayes, Jim Tressel, Urban Meyer, and Ryan Day. The Buckeyes have won eight national championships and produced seven Heisman Trophy winners, including Archie Griffin, the only two-time winner. The rivalry with Michigan—The Game—is considered the greatest in all of sports and has often decided national championship fates. Ohio State's 105,000-plus capacity at the Horseshoe creates an intimidating environment. The Buckeyes' combination of tradition, resources, and modern success has made them one of college football's dominant forces.
