Preseason camp is done, the depth chart should be set and top-ranked Ohio State is officially in game week as it opens the season with Ball State at 12:30 p.m. ET on Saturday.What can we expect in Week 1 and beyond? Let’s break down the projected depth chart with one question facing each position group before making a final prediction.Depth chartMost of the depth chart has shaken out as expected.The offensive line finally settled on what we expected to be its best in-season form. The trio of Austin Siereveld, Carson Hinzman and Luke Montgomery might be the best interior offensive line in the country. It’s surely one of the most experienced, with each playing a major role in the 2024 national championship run before starting every game last season.The new addition to the defense from our pre-camp depth chart is freshman Jay Timmons at nickel. We’re hearing less about Duke transfer Terry Moore, so it seems like the safeties will be Jaylen McClain and Florida State transfer Earl Little, with Moore and Leroy Roker III rotating in when Ohio State sees fit or if it needs to go heavy on defensive backs.The only change that wouldn’t surprise me on Saturday is if UCF transfer John Walker starts at nose tackle over Will Smith.9.5 wins for Ohio State in 2026?Ralph D.
