Ohio State's New Head Football Coach Urban Meyer

The Ohio State University announced their new head football coach is Urban Meyer. I had previously blogged about Florida under head coach Meyer, and here are the offense, defense and total rankings for the Florida Gators from 2008 to 2010.

This year, Ohio State has the following rankings as of November 26th 2011.
Ohio State finished the regular season at 6-6, which is bowl eligible. Ohio State's best win was over currently ranked (production model) #2 Wisconsin, and their worst loss was against currently ranked in the production model #82 Purdue. The Buckeyes currently are the #66 most productive team in the Football Bowl Subdivision (i.e. below average). This is primarily due to their below average offense (ranked #89 in the nation) and is offset by their above average defense (#32) in the nation. Given that Ohio State has had success recruiting above average football players, it should not take Meyer long to right Ohio State's ship.
