When Ohio State ripped off 13 consecutive victories en route to the College Football Playoff National Championship last season, you could argue that each win following an ugly loss to Virginia Tech in Week 2 was equally important as the last. If the Buckeyes lost again, the chances they would have to win championships at the end of the season were slim.
The argument could be made that each game in the 2015 season holds the same level of importance for Ohio State as defending national champion, but fans are blessed with the option of looking forward to bigger and better games later in the season.
