Urban Meyer's not looking at any resumes for the College Football Playoff. He's not looking at any body of work.

The former Ohio State football coach said on FOX's "Big Noon Kickoff" he feels the Buckeyes and Michigan are two of the best four teams in college football.

"When you look at videotape, the Buckeyes and the Wolverines are two of the top four teams in America," Meyer said.

Meyer said Ohio State has the "best offensive skill on the planet," averaging 46.8 points and 501.9 yards per game — one of six teams to average more than 500 yards per game along with Tennessee, Oregon, Georgia, North Carolina and UCLA.

Meyer also said Michigan has an "offensive and defensive line that has been dominant all year long," allowing 12 sacks in 10 games with a run game that averages 251.4 yards per game and 5.6 yards per carry, while recording 31 sacks on defense.

After former Notre Dame quarterback and Columbus native Brady Quinn gave Meyer flack for using "videotape" — asking the former Ohio State coach if he was using VHS tape — he mentioned how much he thought the former Ohio State football coach has changed.

In Ohio State's history, Meyer has the fourth-most wins, sitting behind Woody Hayes (1951-78, 205 wins), John Cooper (1988-2000, 111 wins) and Jim Tressel (2001-10, 94 wins), before he left the program in 2018, leading the Buckeyes to a Rose Bowl win against Washington.
