We analyzed 9 colleges and universities across Ohio to determine which were the best for D2 Men's Football athletes in Ohio. Our ranking is based on several objective factors, including the school's overall quality and the athletic competitiveness of the school. We steer clear of subjective measures since they don't give a clear picture when determining how one school compares to another. So, even if a school has a great team, it won't place well if it is also considered a low quality college or university.
