COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio State won the inaugural College Football Playoffs championship in January, yet the Buckeyes do not utter the word ''repeat'' around their spring practices.
''We don't even have conversation about that around here,'' coach Urban Meyer said.
Instead, they try to deal with the here and now. The thinking is, a team concentrating so much on what it has done runs the risk of overlooking the next practice, the next opponent, the next challenge.
''Our focus - we call it clarity of purpose around here - the purpose is real clear,'' Meyer said.
