Which college football team has the easiest path to the College Football Playoff in 2022? Former Ohio State football head coach Urban Meyer is going with his former team.
"To me, it's all about the pathway," Meyer said on FOX's "Big Noon Kickoff." "You look and they're at least a seven-point favorite in every game, some (a) two-to-three touchdown favorite, and they have the Wolverines at home in 'The Game'
"In the Big Ten Championship game, they could be a three-touchdown plus favorite. I'm not sure that's ever happened before."

Ohio State has earned double-digit victories in each of their first five games of the 2022 season, beating Notre Dame, Arkansas State, Toledo, Wisconsin and Rutgers by a combined score of 244-74.
Former Notre Dame quarterback and Columbus native Brady Quinn said Ohio State has looked like the "most complete team in college football.
"They have won every game by double-digits, C.J. Stroud is leading the No. 1 offense in FBS, he's putting together quite the Heisman campaign," Quinn said. "By the way, he's doing it really without Jaxon Smith-Njigba, their leading receiver from a year ago. In fact, Emeka Egbuka, Marvin Harrison Jr., those guys are on a better pace than Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson last year.
"This offense is loaded."
While the defense is playing "much better," Quinn said the only criticism is the Buckeyes' 2022 schedule. However, he said that Ohio State has not faltered as a double-digit favorite like Georgia did against Kent State or Alabama did on the road at Texas.
"Even though it's an easy schedule, they have been dominating their opponents," Quinn said.
Ohio State is a 26.5-point favorite in its first road game of the 2022 season against Michigan State.
