From Doug Lesmerises at cleveland.com:

"Now that the Buckeyes have toppled the king, now how can they replicate his reign?

College football programs are defined by their coach. ... A lot of it has to do with a cult of personality.

Saban and Alabama remain a reference point. But it's Meyer and Ohio State's potential "Buck Dynasty" setting the standard in college football right now.

That starts at the top, at the guy who goes everywhere but never leaves, at the culture that blooms from one man. It starts, and could end, with Meyer.

Because recruiting and money and conference and the playoff and the staff, all that matters. But to sustain success, as Saban has, requires a force of nature lording over everything."
