For the second season in a row, a Big Ten team has ended the season on top of the college football world. Ohio State started the 12-team College Football Playoff era the way it did the four-team playoff era by winning the national championship on Monday night in Atlanta.

There have been 11 seasons since Ezekiel Elliot and Cardale Jones lifted the Ohio State Buckeyes to the inaugural College Football Playoff National Championship.
