Two more Ohio State teams that should have won a national title?
2015 Team
Record: 13-1
AP rank: fourth
The 1973 and 2019 teams are worthy of this list, but there are two Ohio State teams glaringly committed that should be a part of it. Ezekiel Elliott, J.T. Barrett, Cardale Jones, Joey Bosa, Michael Thomas, Curtis Samuel, Braxton Miller. All of those guys and more were key contributors the team coming back after making a surprising run for the national title in 2014. It might be the most talented bunch to ever suit up in scarlet gray. You know the story well, but the Buckeyes fell by three points in a bit of a weather quagmire to Michigan State, who by the way made the CFP themselves.
Somehow that team didn’t get any recognition when discussing the teams to make the College Football Playoff and we wonder if the same were to hold true if Alabama were in the same prediciment. The Buckeyes went on to dismantle Michigan, then did the same against Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl. Three points. That’s all that separated a team that should have won it all.
