A Look At Which Football Bowl Subdivision Teams Ohio State Has Never Played

The Buckeyes will cross one team off of the list this afternoon.

Today’s game between Ohio State and Arkansas State, which kicks off at noon on BTN, represents the first-ever meeting between the two programs.

The Buckeyes have played 1,325 games against 126 different opponents dating back to 1890 and hold a 943-329-53 record in those contests. However, there are 39  Football Bowl Subdivision teams they have never faced – 40 if you count the Red Wolves.

It’s worth noting Ohio State will be able to cross some additional teams off of this list in the coming years, with Western Kentucky on the schedule in 2023, Southern Miss in 2024, UConn in 2025 and Ball State in 2026.
