Urban Meyer Has Followed Each of His Bowl Losses With a National Championship the Next Season

Urban Meyer doesn't lose bowl games very often, but when he does, he avenges the losses with a national championship season.

Before now, Urban Meyer has dealt with a bowl loss just twice in his career – once at Florida after his Gators were defeated by Michigan in the 2008 Capital One Bowl, and once at Ohio State after the Buckeyes fell to Clemson in the 2013 Orange Bowl.

Both times, Meyer responded from the losses in the best possible way: by winning a national title the following season.

Now after a 31-0 shutout loss to Clemson, Meyer is again facing the same challenge of responding to a season-ending loss in a bowl game and is obviously hoping for a similar result to follow.
