The Magnificent Six: #4 - The 1944 Ohio State Buckeyes

When it comes to a Columbus, Ohio autumn, a perfect record, a Big Ten title, and a Heisman Trophy winner are about as close to Valhalla as it gets. And that's what Ohio State enjoyed in 1944, as they became the best of the "civilian" teams in this war year.

The All-Buckeye Team: 1984-2008

In keeping with his "quarter-century of fandom" theme, Jesse's selected his all-time team of Buckeyes that have played with the program since 1984. Some of the choices- David Boston, Orlando Pace, Antoine Winfield and Mike Nugent- required no thought at all. Other choices- second running back, second receiver, and guard- took a bit of wrestling to decide. A lot of great players have come through this program in the last twenty-five years, and not all of them- guys like Joe Germaine, Alonzo Spellman, Chris Wells, Steve Tovar, Matt Wilhelm, and Shawn Springs- made the cut. What's left is the best of the best.
