Ohio State's Dominance During the CFP Era is Almost Too Much to Comprehend

Since the inception of the College Football Playoff (CFP) in 2014, the Ohio State Buckeyes have established themselves as a dominant force in college football. Over the past twelve seasons, Ohio State has been ranked in the CFP rankings 72 times, more than any other team, and has appeared in the CFP Top-10 on 69 occasions. The Alabama Crimson Tide match Ohio State in total CFP rankings appearances but fall slightly behind with 66 Top-10 placements.

During this period, the Buckeyes have achieved a remarkable 141-19 record, averaging 11.75 wins and 1.5 losses per season. The only exception to their 11-win seasons was during the COVID-shortened year, where they finished 7-1. Ohio State is 2-1 in National Championship games and holds a 7-2 record in College Football Playoff games. In seasons they missed the CFP, they maintain a 4-4 record in bowl games.
