With Ohio State basketball on a COVID-19 hiatus until after Christmas, it’s hard not to reflect on the football season: what might have been and what isn’t. As I read all of the pre-playoff analyses and predictions, I can’t help but be disappointed that the Buckeyes are left out this year. Granted, they were inconsistent, but, on a good day, they could beat anybody. And, if they were in the playoffs, they’d need only two good days. Alas.
Looking at the national NCAA statistics for the 2021 season, it’s easy to see where Ohio State excelled – and where they fell short.
