Ohio State's 2005 season holds a special place in my heart. The team was not as good as their 2006 successors, nor were they as exciting as the young but talented underdogs that the 2004 group was comprised of. Nope, Ohio State's 2005 squad suffered an early defeat at the hands of Ryan Hamby Texas, and later at Penn State (back in the day when the Nittany Lions were consistently a ranked squad) to effectively end any national title hopes for the Buckeye faithful.
While beating Notre Dame in the 2005 Fiesta Bowl and extending the Irish's NCAA record bowl losing streak was great and all, the number one game that will always stick out to me from the 2005 season was Michigan.
