Ohio State returns to the College Football Playoff national championship for the first time since 2014 to face off against Alabama on Monday night.
Amid a season unlike any other in history, the Buckeyes (7–0) enter the title game fresh off a sterling Sugar Bowl victory over Clemson, while the Crimson Tide (12–0) trounced Notre Dame in the Rose Bowl.
Ohio State is certainly no stranger to national championships, considering the program has won eight in its history.
The school officially formed a football team in 1890, but the Buckeyes didn't win a national championship until 1942.
