In breaking down the Buckeyes, Minnich gives three reasons why OSU might make the College Football Playoff, and three reasons why they might not. The three reasons why they will are exactly the types of things that a team would want to build a season upon; talent, schedule, and coaching. Of course anytime a talented team with top-level coaches has a schedule that sets up for a strong run, that’s a good thing.
However, the three reasons that he gives for the Buckeyes not making the CFP might also be good things for OSU, because, frankly, they’re all pretty weak.
