Ohio State presents its CFP title rings.
On January 20, 2025, the Ohio State Buckeyes secured their ninth national championship with a 34–23 victory over Notre Dame in the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff National Championship. This triumph marked the program’s first national title since 2014 and was especially significant given their two-loss regular season.
Championship Rings Presentation
In early March 2025, Ohio State’s players and coaches received their championship rings, a symbol of their hard-earned success. The rings, designed by Jostens, featured the score of the championship game and were presented during a ceremony that included speeches from key figures such as quarterback Will Howard and linebacker Cody Simon.
Trophy Display at Woody Hayes Athletic Center
The national championship trophy is now prominently displayed at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, alongside previous titles and Heisman trophies. This addition serves as a testament to the team’s achievement and a reminder of their place in Ohio State’s storied football history.
On-Campus Celebrations
The Buckeyes were honored at the Schottenstein Center during a men’s basketball game against Iowa, where they showcased their championship trophies and interacted with fans. This event allowed supporters to celebrate the team’s success and engage with the players who made it possible.
Legacy of the 2024 Championship
The 2024 national championship not only added to Ohio State’s illustrious history but also provided a sense of redemption for head coach Ryan Day, who faced criticism after consecutive losses to Michigan. The team’s resilience and determination throughout the season exemplified the spirit of Buckeye football.
