Ohio State Wins Inaugural 12-Team College Football Playoff 10 Years After Winning First Four-Team College Football Playoff.
The Buckeyes were the sixth-ranked team in the final CFP rankings (and the No. 8 seed in the CFP). Between 2014-23, Ohio State would have fallen two spots short of making the playoff. Before 2014, OSU would have been four spots short of making the BCS national title game.
Even after barely losing to Oregon and then getting embarrassed by Michigan at home in the regular-season finale, the Buckeyes saved their best for last, just like they did a decade ago.
Ridiculed for his performance against top-five teams, Ryan Day is now 6-6 all-time against teams ranked in the top five, including an exceptional 5-1 record in those games this season due to getting the opportunity to make the CFP due to the expanded field.
Congratulations Ohio State Buckeyes! Let’s see what happens next season!
