Why are the Ohio State Buckeyes such a great team?

I hear this question a lot, especially in the south. But the answer is quite simple:

1. They are from Ohio.
2. Woody Hayes.
3. Tradition.
4. The only 2-time Heisman winner.
5. Scarlet and Grey.
6. The Horseshoe.
7. Rose Bowl.
8. Ohio State v. Michigan.
9. Brutus the Buckeye.
10. The Illubuck.
