Ohio State Ranked 20th In 2012 ESPN Preseason Poll

Ohio State is ranked 20th in the country by College Football Live's Preseason Top 25 poll. Finishing 6-7 last year under interim head coach Luke Fickell, the Buckeyes weren't ranked at all for the last few weeks. Urban Meyer was then hired and since, hope has been building that the Buckeyes can be as good as they allow themselves to be.

While OSU isn't eligible for any kind of championship, they still have the opportunity to win a lot of games to build momentum into the 2013 season.
