The 2020 season may not have ended exactly as Ohio State had hoped but considering the fits and starts as a result of the ongoing pandemic, it's hard to be disappointed with a 7-1 record featuring another Big Ten title and a College Football Playoff semifinal win over Dabo Swinney's Clemson Tigers.
Getting the Dabo-monkey off the program's back alone was worth falling short against an all-time great team in Alabama even if sucked really hard watching the 55-24 blowout unfold in Miami.
It wasn't the storybook ending fans wanted for guys like Justin Fields, Trey Sermon, Wyatt Davis, Shaun Wade, Josh Myers, Justin Hilliard and others but the beat goes on.
