COLUMBUS, Ohio — A week after getting its first statement win of the season, Ohio State ollowed up by putting on a light show in a 70-0 win over Grambling.
The Buckeyes cut it loose offensively, letting quarterback Julian Sayin throw it all over the field and the result was 304 yards, four touchdowns and just one incompletion which was an interception. If Week 1 was about starting the 2025 college football season off with a bang, featuring numerous marquee matchups, Week 2 was about stat padding.
At least that was the case for some teams such as OSU, Florida State and Oregon.
Other teams like Clemson, Georgia and Penn State tried to sleep walk through what should’ve been give-me games even if the talent disparity kept them from ever being in a situation where they’d have to pay of. Arizona State did end up paying for it. Meanwhile teams like Baylor, Oklahoma and South Florida used this week to make statements.
That combination has led to a bit of a shakeup across my entire top 25 ballot heading into Week 3. Here’s my full preseason ballot:
