If Ohio State wants to win a title in 2019, they’ll need to be more than good. They’ll need to be lucky

You need a lot of things to win a college football title. You’re going to need elite recruits. Great coaching. A championship culture. Excellent assistant coaches.

And lots and lots of luck.

Both Ohio State championship teams in recent memory were loaded with talent and great coaches, but they were also lucky. There’s no shame in that, and it doesn’t make them less talented, or make the championships count any less.

Holy Buckeye? That involved some luck. Winning five other games by less than a touchdown, then upsetting Miami in double overtime? Involves a little bit of luck.
