The Ohio State Buckeyes have made the College Football Playoff five times, have a 3-4 record in those games, advancing to the national championship twice and winning it once.
The first time they reigned supreme over the college football world was 2014, and they haven’t done so since, losing in the 2020 CFP national championship opposite Alabama.
Ohio State won the championship during the first playoff format, and now the Buckeyes are on the short list to take it home during the first 12-team playoff as well. That is at least what College Football News thinks.
Writer Pete Fiutak is predicting the final game of the season to occur between Georgia and Ohio State with the Buckeyes coming out on top. Why does Fiutak think it’ll be those two going at it?
“Ohio State and Georgia will be the two best teams in college football by far, they’ll steamroll through the season, and despite the month-long journey that will be the expanded College Football Playoff, they’ll make it here in what should be one of the best matchups in CFP Championship history — brief as it has been,” wrote Fiutak.

Fiutak goes on to say that the Buckeyes will beat the Bulldogs as well. He also broke down five teams that could vie for a spot in the championship, listing Alabama, Texas, Michigan, Notre Dame, and Utah as the other options.
Ohio State, for most of the season, should be among those chosen to win it all, and that journey begins with Akron on August 31, thankfully just a few short weeks away.
