with the huge win, the buckeyes advanced to their first national championship game since 2007, and played the rose bowl champion oregon ducks, whom they defeated 42-20 for their 8th national championship. this was ohio state's first win over alabama in 4 tries. they had been 0-3 in the other games played between the teams. the loss by alabama was the southeastern conference's second straight loss in a major bowl game to the buckeyes, along with arkansas's loss in the 2011 sugar bowl. alabama's loss meant that 2015 was the first national championship to not feature an sec team since 2005, when usc and texas played in that season's rose bowl. the loss also assured the crimson tide a second straight season without appearing in the national championship, the first time that alabama has missed the national championship in back to back seasons since 2007 and 2008. ohio state's 15-point comeback over the tide is the largest ever comeback against a nick saban-led team in a bowl game and the 2nd largest comeback against the crimson tide under saban all time, with the largest being auburn's 24-0 comeback in 2010. the loss by alabama also dropped them to 0-3 under saban in sugar bowls. however, they would eventually win a sugar bowl in 2018, beating clemson 24-6. this was the 3rd time in the saban era that alabama had blown a lead of 14 or more points, with each of the other losses to auburn in 2010 and 2013. alabama would return to the playoffs the next year, and would win the cotton bowl over another big 10 team, michigan state, 38-0, and championship over clemson, 45-40. as of 2019, alabama has appeared in the playoffs in each season since it's existence, and has been to 4 national championships, winning 2 and losing 2. ohio state would return to the playoffs again in 2016, but they would lose to clemson 31-0 in the fiesta bowl. as of 2019, this remains the last time that these 2 teams have met. no future regular season meetings are scheduled and they haven't met in a bowl game since this one.
