Inside Ohio State's path to a national championship in 2023

Can the Ohio State Buckeyes win the national title this season? On this Thursday Buckeye Talk from cleveland.com, Doug Lesmerises and Nathan Baird dive into that question. The idea isn't necessarily to answer it, though there are some playoff and national title picks at the end of the pod. But the idea is to run through the real hurdles that Ohio State would have to overcome to win it all. And are those hurdles inside the program or outside it? (0:30) First comes a look at Ohio State from 2019 to 2022 and what it was that kept the Buckeyes from winning it all those seasons (23:46) Then it's a look into this year, with text subscribers chiming in about the chances of a title compared to last season (1:06:07) Then Doug runs through recent history and what obstacles stopped the Buckeyes when they didn't win titles between 2005 and 2018 (1:13:20) Finally, it's time for some picks about this season. This is Doug's penultimate Buckeye Talk, which is why it was time to talk national title right now. Thanks as always for listening.
