Regional Hosts indicated by BOLD Rank & Region.

In the right two columns are 2025 Preseason Rankings and 2024 Final Rankings.
I'm showing "Preseason" ranks of Top-36 ... plus the teams down to a tie for 52nd that "received votes" in the poll (Three of these teams are not currently in this Top-55.)

Team Names in BOLD are 14 of OSU's 16 regular season opponents.
The other 2 are #62 SEMO & #64 Alaska.

OSU competes against four teams twice ... Alaska, California, San Jose State, UC Davis ... for a total of 20 regular "meets" ... not counting the hoped for final (6th) home meet vs #69 Fisk!
