Ohio State Dominates College Football Playoff, Wins National Championship

The Ohio State football team, fueled by outside noise, dominated the College Football Playoff and won their first national title in a decade.

The Buckeyes, who were voted No. 2 in the nation in both preseason polls, were led by quarterback Will Howard and running back Quinshon Judkins. Howard, who came to Ohio State from Kansas State, and Judkins, who became a Buckeye after carrying the football at Ole Miss, both played major roles in the championship game.

Ohio State's coaching staff, including offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, also played a key role in the team's success. Kelly, who once served as head coach with the Oregon Ducks, Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers, left the same gig at UCLA to take a demotion at Ohio State. In no way was this winter about proving that Kelly hadn't lost the edge that once had him hailed as a mastermind of modern football offenses.

The Buckeyes' win was not only a victory for the team, but also for coach Ryan Day. Day, who has been the leader of the Ohio State football program for six seasons, has faced a lot of pressure and criticism throughout his tenure. However, he was able to lead the Buckeyes to a national championship and silence his critics.

The win was also a victory for the fans, who have been waiting for a national championship for a decade. The Buckeyes' win is a reminder that anything is possible if you believe in yourself and work hard enough for it.
