Ohio State now overwhelming favorite to win national title among FOX CFB analysts
Published:
Ohio State has impressed the FOX college football crew.
Saturday, the Buckeyes improved to 11-0 on the season with a 28-17 win over No. 8 Penn State, clinching a spot in Indianapolis to compete for a B1G title. It may have also locked up a spot in the College Football Playoff.
That win was enough to show several members of FOX’s college football broadcast team that the Buckeyes have enough firepower to win a national championship. Now, five of six analysts on the network believe Ohio State is the team to beat.
Urban Meyer, Matt Leinart, Joel Klatt, Reggie Bush and Brady Quinn all have the Buckeyes winning the national title. Rob Stone is the lone outlier, still firm on LSU. Below are their picks:
