Urban Meyer: 82–9. A 24–0 start to his tenure. 7–0 against Michigan.
The first ever CFP championship. Seriously, find me another 3-game run from a team of yours like Ohio State had to end 2014. You can't. It's the single best 3-game streak of your life and it won't be topped.
Here's the thing, Chris Fowler. It wasn't a down year for the Big Ten. The perennial powers might have sucked, but Northwestern, Indiana, Ohio State are all excellent football teams
Michigan State Sparty’d their way short of a blowout but still throttled Wake Forest.
Iowa clobbered USC.
Penn State is rolling Memphis.
Weird. It’s almost as if everyone outside of the Midwest undervalued the Big Ten again this year.
College athletes will very soon be able to profit off of their name, image, and likeness.
And this SI cover from 2011 is going to age spectacularly poorly.
“I THINK THE COMMITTEE NEEDS TO CONSIDER THREE TEAMS FROM THE SEC. LSU, TO ME, HAS DONE ENOUGH TO EARN A BID. THIS IS BAD NEWS FOR OHIO STATE. DON'T FORGET, THEY WERE BLOWN OUT BY PURDUE IN 2018…”
Ohio State absolutely earned that L. This team is who we thought they were. Capable of brilliant play and just as capable of playing like a team with no idea how to execute.
Rossi's penalty to kill an early 4th down pickup.
Marvin Harrison getting knocked out of the game.
Bowers' huge 4th down pickup.
Smart's timeout before the fake punt snap.
Ransom's slip.
The missed kick.
So many little moments that change this outcome.
Damn
Super weird that Michigan’s Connor Stalions starts visiting other Big Ten schools after this tire fire of a season and the Wolverines have gone 23–1 against the B1G since then
Big Ten Football is looking really good, but may lose Michigan, Illinois, and Maryland because of those Governors’ ridiculous lack of interest or political support. They will play without them?
Asked by ESPN about ranking Ohio State 11th, Dabo Swinney said “I don’t think that it’s right that three teams have to play 13 games to win it all and one team has to play eight.”
Here's where I think I am on Ryan Day…
I have real concerns about him as the head coach and wonder if he's cut out for Ohio State. You can win every game but the Michigan game, but that's not a recipe for success in Columbus
So Harbaugh wasn't going to get the Minnesota gig, there was no way Miami could hire him, and he's headed back to Ann Arbor to play like he was never looking.
Imagine eating that as a fan base
I can’t wait to watch the narrative flip from Clemson fans glad that Dabo ranked Ohio State 11th to Clemson fans mad at him giving Ohio State bulletin board material
This is the perfect scandal:
> It's nothing truly awful like abuse or murder
> Amazing and salacious details drop every day
> The most arrogant coach on earth had to resort to cheating to save his job and wallet
> The fans I despise the most are getting bodied online

How Ohio State fans saw Malaki Branham this season
NOV: Kid can play a little
DEC: 35?! Alright, another legit scoring option
JAN: He's not a one-and-done is he?
FEB: Damn, he might really be a one-and-done
MAR: Well, watching him for one season was a treat
If OSU had won the game playing a player under these circumstances, the guys at MGoBlog would currently be 17,000 words deep on the perils of a society without integrity
It took less than a month for the Washtenaw County Prosecutor's Office to issue charges to seven MSU players following the tunnel incident. It sat on the Mazi Smith charges for nearly seven weeks.
Waiting for explanation from the prosecutor and Michigan football.
Surprised to see folks dumping on Ewers for leaving Ohio State. Might be good for Ewers. Might even be good for Ohio State (though that’s a tough sell, given he was the highest-rated prospect they’ve ever signed) but let’s try not to crush young men who want to head back home
My favorite part of fandom is the Ohio State fans who were eating Ryan Day, the team, and each other alive last weekend.
And now they're ready to throw hands at national writers who are dumping on the notion of OSU getting into the CFP.
This is the best sport.
Think it’s fair to say every Buckeye fan on earth is lamenting that loss to Georgia just a little bit more tonight because another natty was right there
Chris Olave is out there running 4.26. Garrett Wilson is an absolute freak.
And there are thousands of Ohio State fans who know in their souls that neither of those two were the best wideout on the roster last season.
