Ohio State Football: Buckeyes ready to thrive as underdogs in CFP

For the first time since 2016, the Ohio State football team finds itself in a College Football Playoff semifinal. The Buckeyes finished an incredible historic regular season 13-0, winning their third consecutive Big Ten Championship in come-back fashion.

They hadn’t really experienced much adversity all year until the rematch with Wisconsin. But the Buckeyes responded as any top ranked team would by not panicking, sticking with the game plan and executing to come back and win dramatically.

In the preseason, Ohio State was an underdog as hardly anybody picked them to win their conference or make the College Football Playoff.
