Ohio State football is only a few days away from kicking off against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the College Football Playoff National Championship game. Still, some drama and distraction have entered the news cycle as the Buckeyes have dismissed walk-on defensive lineman, Caden Davis.

As Ohio State prepares to face Notre Dame in the national championship, take a look back at the Buckeyes winning history.

A Buckeyes win would give the Big Ten back-to-back national champions for the first time since 1942, when the league was called the Western Conference. Paul Brown-coached Ohio State went 9-1 that year and was the third straight national champion from the conference.
