You know the story. You know it far, far too well.
Ohio State won 24 straight games and was on the cusp of rising back to the top of college football in Urban Meyer's second season. Then, the Buckeyes fell back down to Earth and lost the Big Ten Championship Game to Michigan State and the Orange Bowl to Clemson in a span of 28 days.
The Buckeyes had everything, but then had nothing after the losses to the Spartans and Tigers ended the 2013 season.
Then came 2014, a bad loss to Virginia Tech and the improbable run at immortality in the form of the first ever College Football Playoff national title.
