Ohio State enters its 2026 season opener against Ball State as a heavy favorite, with the Buckeyes ranked No. 1 in preseason polls and boasting superior depth across both lines and skill positions. The matchup at Ohio Stadium on September 5 pits a MAC program in its second season under head coach Mike Uremovich against a Big Ten contender transitioning to new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. Ball State, projected near the bottom of the MAC, faces a significant talent and experience gap, similar to prior Ohio State routs of conference foes. Recent roster stability for the Buckeyes and Ball State’s focus on building through the portal set the stage for a lopsided contest, though weather or early-season execution could influence final margins.
