Stick around 6-7 years, cheat your ass off, hope everyone turns a blind eye to your obvious disregard for all rules, and you, too "can also win it all" (and then have it vacated and your coaches hit with show cause).

It took a perfect storm for them to finally win a title.

The cheating was 1 part of it, but this was a extremely down year for basically all the other usually better teams in college football. No elite SEC team, Ohio State with their most meh team in awhile. Washington was really the best opponent in the championship game that coulda been offered and they were pretty damn underwhelming themselves a lot of the year. It was a pretty big down year overall for the rest of the country

Yeah, but they have supplemented it with several transfers especially on the OL.

Yep that will be ignored of course though by the Klatt's of the world.

Without the transfer portal scUM likely doesn't win this title. They supplemented their OL big time, without the portal they are stuck playing their young 3* guys instead of bringing in more proven experienced guys from other schools. They also had 3 pretty decent defensive contributors come in from the portal. Stewart who was 2nd on the team in sacks, Huasmann who was 3rd in tackles and Josh Wallace who was the #2 corner basically most of the season. Not to mention AJ Barner who was a huge contributor blocking at TE as well.

FOX TELEVISION EXECUTIVE MICHAEL MULVIHILL BREAKS DOWN TV SCHEDULING PROCESS FOR OHIO STATE, BIG TEN AND COLLEGE FOOTBALL AT LARGE​

College football remains one of the few entities to which television networks can attach themselves at the hip.

With more options than ever for people to spend their viewership time and money on, sports are one of the few things sure to attract ratings, and no sport in America is more popular than football. That's why the Big Ten was able to sign its seven-year, $7 billion media rights deal with FOX, CBS and NBC.

As such, while it's athletic departments and conferences that set a team's week-to-week schedule, it's those networks that dictate where fans can watch prospective games and at what time they'll be played.

This week, FOX president of insight and analytics Michael Mulvihill sat down with broadcaster Joel Klatt on his podcast, “The Joel Klatt Show,” to reveal how some of the sausage is made.



It all begins with a draft. Not of players, not of games, but of dates. Network executives involved in a given conference will pick which weekends they want control of through a selection process based on their buy-in. FOX is the biggest player in the Big Ten.

"In the case of the Big Ten, we and CBS and NBC go through a draft where FOX holds the first three picks on the board, then we have number six and our next one is a little later than that," Mulvihill said. "So it's not just a straight rotation one, two, three; one, two, three. The picks change a little bit as we go through that selection order and we spend a lot of time thinking about, 'What are we gonna do with those top three picks?'"

Mulvihill added that FOX will have the top three selections for the conference's dates over the next few years, giving them an "advantageous" position in getting the marquee matchups.

Rivalry weekend and the feature of Ohio State's annual showdown with Michigan is, to no one's surprise, consistently the first pick off the board, which is why The Game has been on FOX with such regularity.

"We don't really earn our salaries by picking Michigan/Ohio State number one," Mulvihill said. "Any college football fan would see that that's the obvious first selection. Then when you start thinking about those next couple of choices, it gets a little bit more interesting."

"WE DON'T REALLY EARN OUR SALARIES BY PICKING MICHIGAN/OHIO STATE NUMBER ONE. ANY COLLEGE FOOTBALL FAN WOULD SEE THAT THAT'S THE OBVIOUS FIRST SELECTION."– MIKE MULVIHILL
