The Buckeyes and the Bling: A Deep Dive (Kind Of) into Ohio State's CFP Championships
Ah, Ohio State football. A program known for its rabid fanbase, a horseshoe stadium that could double as a small moon, and, of course, national championships. But with the rise of the College Football Playoff (CFP) era in 2014, some fans might be wondering: just how many CFP championships have the Buckeyes actually snagged? Buckle up, my friends, for a thrilling ride...well, maybe a scenic stroll.

| How Many Cfp Championships Has Ohio State Won |
Spoiler Alert (Kind Of)
Let's not bury the lede under layers of scarlet and gray (the official colors of existential dread for opposing teams). Ohio has claimed one glorious CFP championship, defeating the Oregon Ducks in 2014. That's right, just the once (so far!).
But Wait, There's More (Maybe)
Now, some folks might scoff and say, "Hold on a sec, isn't Ohio State a national championship powerhouse?" Well, you're not wrong, my friend. The Buckeyes boast a whopping eight national championships overall, but those came before the CFP era. Think of it like this: the CFP championship is the new hotness in town, the shiny new trophy everyone wants on their shelf. The pre-CFP titles are like those dusty VHS tapes in your attic – still awesome, but the technology has moved on (VHS tapes are not awesome, actually).
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.
CFP Heartbreak? Not Quite, But Close Enough
The Buckeyes haven't exactly been CFP slouches. They've made it to the championship game twice, but that second appearance in 2020 ended with a heartbreaking loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide (cue sad trombone). Hey, at least they got there, right? Participation trophies for everyone! (Just kidding, participation trophies are a terrible idea).
So, there you have it. One CFP championship, eight total, and a whole lot of scarlet and gray pride.
QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.
