The Ohio State Buckeyes just won the College Football Playoff National Championship after not even winning the Big Ten Conference. OSU has an experienced playoff head coach in Ryan Day, a former NFL and P5 head coach in Chip Kelly, and a former FCS head coach and veteran DC in Jim Knowles.
OSU also had a 90% Blue Chip Ratio (we’ll get into that later), an extremely veteran defense that added Caleb Downs at Safety, and an offense that gave itself a shot in the arm with a transfer QB (Will Howard) and star running back in former SEC standout Quinshon Judkins.
