Column: Ohio State prepares to chase national title

Ohio State has established the reputation of a perennial powerhouse amid the college football landscape. While transitioning through different eras and regimes, one constant remains: winning. Universities such as Oklahoma, Michigan or USC can relate; no matter the coach, the players or the trends between the trenches, the teams annually produce favorable results on the field.So, in forecasting the outcome of the approaching season, the central question doesn't revolve around the number of victories and a potential bowl game appearance. No, Buckeye backers demand to know Ohio State's true shot at that elusive national championship. (Elusive for a powerhouse like OSU, since it's been all of seven years since the Buckeyes last captured a national title).

Ohio State not looking past Navy

Perhaps when kicker Aaron Pettrey strikes the ball off the tee aroundnoon Saturday, attention will be shifted to the opposition. Despitethe buzzing anticipation surrounding a certain adversary scheduled totrek to Columbus on Sept. 12, the Buckeyes must first handle theirseason-opening opponent — Navy. The Midshipmen are no walkovers,either, having won at least eight games in each of the past six seasons. Coach Jim Tressel ensures that his squad isn't looking past a solid Navy team.
