The Ohio State Buckeyes have some work to do to recover from their 31-point whopping at the hands of the Clemson Tigers in the Semifinal. Head coach Urban Meyer has leaders like senior quarterback J.T. Barrett and senior defensive end Tyquan Lewis to help Ohio State get back to the top in 2017.

The receiving corps has some weapons to replace and the stable of running backs looks very deep. Barrett fell stagnant at the end of the 2016 campaign and needs some players around him to step up and get momentum for this Buckeye offense going again.

Sophomore running back Mike Weber could be the ultimate key to Ohio State making a run for the National Championship in 2017. The Buckeyes have made an appearance in the Playoff in two of the last three seasons. They won in 2014.

As long as Ohio State can keep it together in the regular season and not have another upset like they did against Penn State, they’ll be just fine. The Big Ten is there’s for the taking granted they get past Penn State and Michigan.
