Rankings from AP Poll

The 2024 Ohio State Buckeyes football team represented the Ohio State University as a member of the Big Ten Conference during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. They were led by sixth-year head coach Ryan Day and played their home games at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. It was the Buckeyes' 135th season overall and 112th as a member of the Big Ten.

As the favorites to win the Big Ten, Ohio State started the season 5–0 before falling 32–31 to No. 3 Oregon on the road at Autzen Stadium. Subsequent to the loss, the team won its next five, including one on the road against No. 3 Penn State and one at home against No. 5 Indiana. However, an upset home loss to unranked Michigan, a fourth consecutive loss in the rivalry, knocked them out of the Big Ten Championship Game. Ohio State still qualified for the 2024–25 College Football Playoff and was selected as the No. 8 seed. They defeated No. 9 seed Tennessee in the first round, 42–17, and avenged their regular season loss against No. 1 seed Oregon, defeating them 41–21 in the Rose Bowl. They subsequently defeated No. 5 seed Texas 28–14 in the Cotton Bowl Classic to advance to the CFP National Championship, where they defeated No. 7 seed Notre Dame 34–23, claiming their first national championship since the 2014 season. The Buckeyes were the first 12-team College Football Playoff champion (winning four playoff games), the first team since the 2007 LSU Tigers to win a national championship with two losses on the season, the first team to win the national championship without winning their respective conference championship game since the 2021 Georgia Bulldogs and the lowest-seeded team in college football history to win a championship.

A record-breaking total of 936,550 fans attended the home games in the 2024 season, including the December playoff victory over Tennessee.
