Coming off their National Championship season the Ohio State Buckeyes aren’t short on hype heading into the 2015 season.

After a stunning win over Alabama in the National Championship Game, Ohio State is returning a phenomenal collection of talent that resulted in first ever unanimous vote for a number one. Finishing a cool 97 points ahead of No. 2 TCU, the Buckeyes captured 61 votes for the No. 1 spot while Alabama, Baylor and fellow Big Ten rival Michigan State rounded out the top five.

Unsurprisingly though the SEC hype machine has eight total teams in the top 25.
