The key was Tressel. It's amazing how after the scandal that got him fired from Ohio State he just disappeared. But Tressel was arguably the most important single hire of the BCS era, even more than LSU hiring Nick Saban, because Saban at least was a coach of a P5 conference school when he was hired by LSU.

But Tressel was nothing when OSU hired him in 2001, coaching Youngstown State. Which is nothing.

Tressel almost immediately built Ohio State in to a national-title winning and contending team, and they remained that his 10 years there. That was the foundation that Urban Meyer inherited to continue that, and on up to the present day.

When you see the current OSU team on the field, where an 11-2 record and a Rose Bowl win is regarded as a ho-hum, kinda down year, thank or curse Tressel LOL.
