Revenge angle probably a little stronger if Ohio State missed the playoff, because of that loss; But they went on to win the National Championship anyway. Last years game was in week 2, and Ohio State played a pretty tough game versus a very gritty NAVY team that gave them a hard time in Week 1 which I think played a factor in the Va Tech loss, and The Buckeyes just Under estimated the Hokies as well. Their offensive line was lost vs the blitz, and Barrett was confused by the coverages.
