How many championships has Ohio State won? A look at Buckeyes' triumphant run

The Ohio State Buckeyes are one of the most consistent teams in college football. They are a safe bet to post nine-plus wins in the regular season, and the program has become a wide receiver talent factory in the past decade.

The Buckeyes have won eight national championships. Two of their eight titles have come from title games, while the remaining six came in the AP poll era.

Ohio State last won a national championship in 2014

The Ohio State Buckeyes won their most recent national football championship in 2014. They had a rollercoaster 2014 season, squeezing into the CFP after annihilating Wisconsin 59-0 in the Big Ten championship.

The Buckeyes then went on to defeat the Alabama Crimson Tide 42-35 in the semi-finals and the Oregon Ducks 42-20 in the finals. They became the first winners of the CFP title in the process.

Since their 2014 win, they've come closest to a national championship in their 2020 finals loss to the Crimson Tide. The Buckeyes beat the Clemson Tigers in the semi-finals to get to that stage but were up against a very motivated Tide. The game ended 52-24 in favor of coach Nick Saban's side.

Can the Ohio State Buckeyes go all the way in 2024?

The Ohio State Buckeyes have a typically stacked roster entering the 2024 college football season. The team has quarterback Will Howard, running back Treveyon Henderson, wide receivers Emeka Egbuka and Jeremiah Smith, and a stacked offensive line of NFL-ready prospects. The defense is just as stacked, with DT Tyleik Williams and defensive end Jack Sawyer leading the charge.

Head coach Ryan Day's side looks good on paper, and the expectations will be as high as ever. The Buckeyes will be expected to win the 18-team Big Ten conference, especially now that Jim Harbaugh has taken to the NFL to coach the Los Angeles Chargers.

The Buckeyes are a stacked program, and they'll be coached by the experienced Chip Kelly. Kelly arrives as offensive coordinator after a spell with UCLA and reunites with Day, whom he employed during his time with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Yes, the Buckeyes can win the national championship in 2024. However, they'll need to maximize their talents on the offensive side and avoid costly mistakes on the defensive side.
