Ohio State named a tier 1 title contender with two other teams by 247Sports

Ohio State football was included as a tier 1 national title contender with two other teams according to 247Sports.

Three are a very select group of teams that are heading into the college football season with the best-perceived chances at winning a national championship in 2020. It may be no surprise that Ohio State is expected to be one of those teams talented enough to win the ultimate prize, and 247Sports agrees.

Chris Hummer published a piece that outlines various tiers from No. 1 through No. 6 and the Buckeyes are with Clemson and Alabama as the only three with the best shot in tier 1. You can get a look at the rest of the teams in each tier by visiting the piece on 247Sports.

As far as the Big Ten goes behind the Buckeyes, Penn State is in tier 3, Michigan in tier 4, and Minnesota and Wisconsin both in tier 6.

So why does Hummer believe Ohio State is one of the teams a cut above the rest? You can probably guess some of those reasons, but let’s take a look at what he says.
