Key dates to know

• Season kickoff: Ohio State's regular season opens in late August or early September each year, with Ohio Stadium hosting most non-conference and several Big Ten home games.
• Big Ten play: The Big Ten no longer splits into East/West divisions — teams play a conference schedule across the full league, with the top teams meeting in the Big Ten Championship Game in early December.
• Rivalry weekend: The Ohio State-Michigan game — known simply as "The Game" — traditionally closes out the regular season in late November.
• Postseason: Ohio State has been a regular participant in the College Football Playoff since it expanded, with games airing across ABC and the ESPN family.

The Buckeyes storyline: a championship-caliber program

Ohio State has won national championships across multiple eras, including under legendary head coach Woody Hayes in the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, and more recently under Jim Tressel, Urban Meyer, and Ryan Day, who led the Buckeyes to a College Football Playoff national championship. Ohio Stadium — nicknamed "The Horseshoe" for its shape and now seating well over 100,000 fans — remains one of the most intimidating environments in the sport. No rivalry defines the Buckeyes' season more than "The Game" against Michigan, a series dating back to the late 1800s that has repeatedly decided Big Ten titles and Rose Bowl and Playoff berths, and is widely regarded as one of the fiercest rivalries in all of sports.
