ESPN’s Greg McElroy and Sam Acho both picked Ohio State to win the 2024 National Championship, citing the Buckeyes’ strong roster, veteran QB, and the addition of Chip Kelly as offensive coordinator.
Bollywood Fever: As college football fans eagerly anticipate the kickoff of the 2024 season, ESPN’s Greg McElroy made a bold prediction during the first edition of “College GameDay” for Week 0. Alongside fellow analyst Sam Acho, McElroy selected Ohio State as his pick to win the national championship in January.
Acho kicked off the segment by choosing the Buckeyes, and McElroy quickly followed suit, emphasizing his confidence in Ohio State’s potential this season.
“I’m also taking Ohio State,” McElroy stated. “I think a lot of it has to do with the addition of Chip Kelly as their offensive coordinator. I think they’re going to run the football. That’s what Kelly does. They have two unbelievable running backs and an elite wide receiver.”
McElroy highlighted the strengths of Ohio State’s roster, pointing out that they have a steady veteran at quarterback and a tenacious defense returning for the season. He expressed his optimism about the Buckeyes’ chances, noting their well-rounded team and depth at key positions.
“I think Will Howard will be solid, and they have a defense that can go with anybody at all three levels,” McElroy added. “So I’m very, very bullish on Ohio State. I think they have the best roster.”
Ohio State’s talent is undeniable, as evidenced by ESPN’s ranking of the top 100 players in college football, where the Buckeyes led the pack with eight players on the list. This impressive lineup of talent has set high expectations for head coach Ryan Day and his team.
With the 2024 season just beginning, Ohio State fans are hopeful that this year will bring the results that match their team’s potential. As the Buckeyes prepare to embark on their campaign for a national title, all eyes will be on how they execute on the field under the guidance of Chip Kelly and the leadership of their veteran players.
If Ohio State can live up to the hype, McElroy’s prediction of a national championship could become a reality, solidifying the Buckeyes as the team to beat this season.
