ESPN compares Ohio State vs. Alabama job. Which wins out?

Is Ohio State or Alabama a better job today in college football? ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg tried to answer the question. Who wins out?

Comparing Ohio State and Alabama jobs

What We Say

Rittenberg makes a lot of sense right now. However, there could be another paradigm shift coming with the expansion of the College Football Playoff and the reality that Name, Image, and Likeness is about to be a real thing. Even with as good as Ohio State has been up until this point, being in a large city with access to many more endorsement possibilities could swing things the other way once again. And with more teams able to get into a playoff, it won’t be as easy for Alabama to win the ultimate prize going forward.

That all remains to be seen of course, but like life, college football can be cyclical because of outside pressures and influences. I like where Ohio State sits right now, poised and ready to weather the storm of change and come out the other end as consistently great as it has been for a long, long time.
