Ohio State is expected to be ranked as one of the top two teams in the nation in the preseason Associated Press Top 25 poll to be released next month, but despite being one of the top teams in college football, one media outlet is not rating the school very highly.
NCAA 25 is not an Ohio State fan
NCAA Football Ohio State Buckeyes vs Penn State Nittany Lions
The NCAA 25 video game is set to be released this month, and on Tuesday a new trailer was released showcasing how the new 12-team College Football Playoff will play out. An in-game playoff graphic shows Ohio State entering the game as an 11th seed and making it all the way to the finals, where it loses to Oregon.
What’s interesting is that while college football’s first four-team playoff featured Ohio State vs Oregon, the new video game trailer shows the Buckeyes beating the Ducks 42-20, whereas the first 12-team playoff was the opposite, with Oregon beating Ohio State 42-20.
Oregon has been promoted to the Big Ten Conference and will play Ohio State in the regular season. This game will be available to watch in person. Both teams are great, so it will probably be a coin toss. It could be a top-five matchup.
This isn’t the first time a video game trailer has made fun of Ohio State; other trailers released earlier this year showed the university losing games or being dominated by opponents.
Buckeyes fans weren’t too happy about their team losing the title at NCAA No. 25, so here are some of their reactions.
Did Ohio State lose to Oregon in the national title by the exact same score we won in the 2015 championship, 42-20?
This is no coincidence.
And then it quickly switched to Michigan, proving that EA Sports senior producer and “avid Michigan fan” Rob Jones was trolling yet again. pic.twitter.com/KpXy2YiMkK

They expect us to lose by 3 TDs (and purposely picked that score) right before showing up to Michigan in the title game. Follow Follow translation:

Apparently, some people were not accepted into OSU.
