2002

The 2002 season saw Ohio State finish atop the RPR following their win in the BCS National Championship Game over previous year’s champion Miami. The Buckeyes topped Win % as the nation’s lone unbeaten and finished within the top 12 in both SOS and Score Ratio. Four other teams finished within the CCT threshold, but while each of them finished ahead of Ohio State in either SOS or SR, I don’t think any are able to warrant being named co-champions with the Buckeyes.

Co-champion Consideration Threshold: 0.0339; CCT Rating Cutoff: 0.6844
