The Ohio State football program has enjoyed two downright magical seasons since the turn of the century. In 2002, the Buckeyes finished 14-0, escaping with a one-possession victory seven times. On the sport’s biggest stage, Ohio State stared in the face of the Miami dynasty, and ultimately hoisted the crystal football after two overtimes.

Over a decade later, along came the 2014 Buckeyes, who somehow managed to author a story even more incredible. A humiliating loss in the home opener all but sealed the fate of a wasted year in Columbus. But with a third-string quarterback at the helm, Ohio State rode its lethal ground game and dogged defense on the way to college football’s mountaintop.

In both seasons, it was the Buckeyes who wore the crown when the dust settled. But what if the two legendary teams were to play each other? Does the 2014 defense have an answer for Maurice Clarett? Can the 2002 offensive tackles prevent Joey Bosa from wrecking the game? What about the stylistic clash between Jim Tressel and Urban Meyer? A dream scenario like this prompts an infinite amount of questions, but only one that truly matters.

The 2002 Buckeyes and the 2014 Buckeyes play at The Shoe on Saturday. Which championship-winning Ohio State squad emerges victorious, and why?
