I think OSU will end up comparing closer to the mid 2000s Florida teams and maybe like the early 2000s USC teams. Hopefully just in play on the field and not off the field.
It will be interesting if they have luck on their side once again this year. Also, it is a lot harder to play a conference championship game plus two playoff games than just your regular season and a bowl game.
Wisconsin -> Alabama -> and Oregon is a tough way to finish your season and they will have to do something close to that year if they want to win another one.
