I know this game is janky, but I'm psyched I have a copy and get to play as the National Champion Buckeyes FOREVER.

Best of luck and hope he does well back in his home state, but it is a bit of a bummer as a recruitnik...really thought he would be a good one here. Figured he would make a run at a starting job with all the DB talent that is graduating. That said, there is going to be a lot of talent in the CB room still and we don't know where the pecking order was other than Mathews seeming to have a spot pretty much locked up.

This has been updated after the final polls for the 2022 season.

OK, here's how this was calculated. I took each team's ranking in every year-end poll since the AP started in 1936. Once 2 polls were involved (the Coaches Poll started in 1950), I always used the higher ranking. Sliding scale points were awarded for every year that a team ended up ranked, and 10 points were deducted for each losing season. The scale was determined before seeing where teams ended up.

For each year since 1936, a team earns points based on these criteria:

NC (#1) in either poll = 100 points
02 -> 05 = 65, 55, 50, 45 points, respectively
06 -> 10 = 40, 37, 34, 32, 30 points
11 -> 20 = 28, 26, 24, 22, 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10 points
21 -> 25 = 08, 06, 04, 03, 02 points
non-ranked, but .500 or above = 0 points
losing record for the year = minus 10 points

Here are the all-time totals, updated after the 2022 final polls:

01. 3044 - Alabama
02. 2861 - Ohio State
03. 2778 - Oklahoma (-10 for losing record in 2022)
04. 2534 - Notre Dame
05. 2179 - Michigan
06. 2113 - USC
07. 1801 - Texas
08. 1640 - Nebraska (-10 for losing record in 2022)
09. 1636 - Penn State
10. 1505 - Tennessee
11. 1499 - Georgia
12. 1413 - LSU
13. 1359 - Florida State
14. 1195 - Florida (-10 for losing record in 2022)
15. 1193 - Miami (-10 for losing record in 2022)
16. 1143 - Auburn (-10 for losing record in 2022)
17. 0975 - Clemson
18. 0877 - Michigan State (-10 for losing record in 2022)
19. 0862 - UCLA
20. 0710 - Arkansas
21. 0689 - Washington
22. 0545 - Texas A&M (-10 for losing record in 2022)
23. 0522 - Georgia Tech (-10 for losing record in 2022)
24. 0509 - Wisconsin
25. 0507 - Ole Miss
26. 0419 - Pittsburgh

Other schools: Iowa (353), Minnesota (351), Colorado (303), Oregon (298), Boise St (278), Syracuse (267), Army (259), Stanford (245), BYU (221), Va Tech (218), West Va (174), Oklahoma St (39), Purdue (35), and Illinois (-87).

Since 2007, I have created separate ratings by adding National Championship credit for those earned prior to 1936, on a sliding scale based on 12-year periods.

1869-1899 - 10 points for each MNC (no top teams here, almost all Ivy League)
1900-1911 - 25 points for each MNC
1912-1923 - 50 points for each MNC
1924-1935 - 75 points for each MNC

Here are the all-time totals, updated with the pre-1936 MNC points:

01. 3319 - Alabama (MNCs in '25, '26, '34, 2/3 for '30 = 275)
02. 2861 - Ohio State
03. 2778 - Oklahoma
04. 2759 - Notre Dame (MNCs in '24, '29, '30 = 225)
05. 2354 - Michigan (MNCs in '01, '02, '23, '33 = 175)
06. 2313 - USC (MNCs in '31, '32, 2/3 for '28 = 200)
07. 1801 - Texas
08. 1640 - Nebraska
09. 1636 - Penn State
10. 1505 - Tennessee
11. 1499 - Georgia
12. 1413 - LSU
13. 1359 - Florida State
14. 1195 - Florida
15. 1193 - Miami
16. 1143 - Auburn
17. 0975 - Clemson
18. 0877 - Michigan State
19. 0862 - UCLA
20. 0710 - Arkansas
21. 0689 - Washington
22. 0647 - Georgia Tech (MNCs in '17, '28 = 125)
23. 0595 - Texas A&M (MNC in '19 = 50)
24. 0544 - Pittsburgh (MNCs in '10, '16, '18 = 125)
25. 0509 - Wisconsin
26. 0507 - Ole Miss
27. 0501 - Minnesota (MNCs in '34, '35 = 150)
28. 0359 - Army (MNCs in '14, '16 = 100)
29. 0353 - Iowa
30. 0303 - Colorado
31. 0298 - Oregon
32. 0278 - Boise State
33. 0267 - Syracuse
34. 0245 - Stanford (MNC in '26 = 75)
35. 0221 - BYU
36. 0218 - Virginia Tech

Note - USC and Bama received 50 points, rather than 75, for disputed titles in '28 and '30, respectively

Note - Illinois, with MNCs in '14, '23, and '27 fails to make the top 35.

I randomly wore OSU hoops jersey for the Tennessee game which I hadn’t worn for a game all season. Proceeded to wear it for every game in the playoff. And I made my fiancé wear the exact same shirt she wore each game too.

Went to Atlanta for the title game and it was way too cold to wear a hoops jersey. So I wore it underneath my other clothes as a base layer lol
