Ohio State is in the Familiar Position of Needing to Go Undefeated and Look Good Doing It

Ohio State football is no stranger to perfection.

It's become less impressive over the years, but one of the things that as a young adult that I hung my hat on was Jim Tressel's 2002 Buckeye squad being the first team ever to go 14-0 in college football and win a modern era championship. The narrative surrounding that team mostly involved their close victories and matchup against Miami, but as a teen that had grown up with football in the 90's, 14 wins seemed like a ridiculous plateau that deserved its own kind of recognition.

That's changed in the time since, of course; six other teams have gone 14-0 or better in the last 20ish seasons.
