Ohio State now claims nine national championships, seven of which are undisputed.
Some came within a few years of each other, but none ever happened back-to-back. For the first time since 2015, the Buckeyes get a chance to repeat and make school history in 2025. Their previous bids have been a mixed bag.
Years like 1969 and 2015 saw infamously close scrapes with another title run, but there have been forgettable campaigns to follow a college football crown in the illustrious history of Ohio State, too.
Where did those previous repeat bids fall apart? Are there any lessons to learn for this year’s team?
