The first loss of a season has a funny way of putting things into perspective; not just for fans, but for players and coaches as well. In 2014, Ohio State dropped a stunner to unranked Virginia Tech before winning out to claim the first College Football Playoff Championship. The next year, an upset at the hands of No. 9 Michigan State derailed their chances for back-to-back titles, but the Buckeyes ended the season outscoring No. 12 Michigan and No. 8 Notre Dame 86-41 to end the season.
So, despite last Saturday’s loss to Penn State, there is still hope for Ohio State to make it back to the CFB Playoff.
