Saw this on the Twitter yesterday for the best Oregon team using only players from 2000 on and thought it'd be fun to do for Ohio State. One of the more depressing things I learned was Ohio State only had one All American on the O-Line between 1998 and 2013 and that was LeCharles Bentley. I think we know who we can thank for that.
Some of these positions were easy (WR, LB) others were hard (TE, OG). But I'd certainly put this team up against anyone. Without further adieu...
