Who does Ohio State play in the 2025 college football season?

Ohio State won’t have an easy time in its season opener Aug. 30 when it starts to defend its national championship.

The Buckeyes open their title defense against Arch Manning and Texas in Columbus, OH, on Aug. 30.

The schedule gets easier in the following two weeks as Grambling State and Ohio come to Ohio Stadium before Big Ten play begins.

The Big Ten schedule lines up as follows:

At Washington, Minnesota, at Illinois, at Wisconsin, Penn State, at Purdue, UCLA, Rutgers, at Michigan.

The Buckeyes have lost four straight to the Wolverines and will be in Ann Arbor on Nov. 29 looking to end that streak.
