Urban Meyer and his staff, in their everlasting drive for cultural competitiveness, grade everything. This includes game film all the way down to offseason performance. Winners are sorted from the losers.

Before Meyer opened fall camp in 2014, Ohio State held a Champions Dinner for those Buckeyes that handled their offseason business. Champions ate at a catered buffet while non-champions ate a well-balanced meal of hot dogs.

With spring camp opening on Tuesday, Ohio State football hosted a Champions Luncheon on Monday at the Woody Hayes Center. The meal—complete with an ice sculpture of Brutus—looked fit for royalty:

Non-champions were treated to a buffet of hamburgers, hot dogs, and mashed potatoes:

The club is truly merit-based. Here's wide receiver Johnnie Dixon gaining entry after tight end Rashod Berry and wide receiver Austin Mack were denied:
