The Ohio State football team ran through the new four-team College Football Playoff without too many problems. They took down Tennessee, Oregon, Texas, and Notre Dame en route to winning the national championship. They were the best team in the country all season long, and they were finally able to showcase that talent.
As the defending national champions, they are expected to be one of the best teams in the country again this year. They have the best player in the country in Jeremiah Smith on their roster, so they should be treated with a large amount of respect.
