6. The Ohio State Buckeyes will go 15-0, winning the National Championship

The 2014-2015 college football playoff was simply magical for the Buckeyes. I believe they are going to win the National Championship again this season.

Urban Meyer has been able to string together the 3 best consecutive recruiting classes I have ever seen since that championship season. That will obviously be put to the test early on against Oklahoma week 2 but i think they are up for the challenge.

Ohio State has the leadership on the offensive front with J.T. Barrett returning for his fifth season, and the Buckeyes have the best core group of linebackers in the country. I think Ohio State has the most complete team in the country, and with the addition of offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson, the pass game is going to open up tremendously.

Most importantly, the Buckeyes have perfected their line on both sides of the ball and I believe that will ultimately lead them to a perfect season. As I mentioned before I think the SEC will beat up on each other enough to have a team like OSU take their champion down at the end of the season.

I believe one team nationally has the power to beat the Buckeyes outside of Alabama and that is USC. I would love nothing more than to see a Trojan-Buckeye matchup in the playoff.
