Best of ... Teams
No. 5: Ohio State
Coach: Urban Meyer
2016 record: 11-2
Projected 2017 record: 11-1
Circle the date: Nov. 25 at Michigan
Bowl trip: Orange
Why No. 5: Nothing like a blowout loss in the College Football Playoff semifinal to provide a bit of offseason motivation. Have to think that Meyer reminded his team often about Clemson's 31-0 romp. Motivation gets you only so far. Games are won with talent. And the Buckeyes have oodles of it.
