Ryan Day, Ohio State and Big Ten
Digest more
Ohio State head coach Ryan Day was proud of his team's performance during a 27-9 win over Big Ten rival Michigan on Saturday.
No. 1 Ohio State put a bow on its perfect regular season and snapped a four-game losing streak to No. 15 Michigan with a dominant 27-9 win Saturday. The Buckeyes also secured their first Big Ten Championship Game appearance since 2021 and their first 12-0 record since 2019, coach Ryan Day's first full season leading the program.
Ohio State star receivers Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate are expected to be available for today's rivalry game at Michigan.
Top-ranked Ohio State and No. 2 Indiana are both expected to earn first-round byes in the College Football Playoff, regardless of Saturday's Big Ten Championship outcome.
I was happy for Ryan Day. I kept thinking that while watching his Ohio State Buckeyes dominate Michigan, 27-9, Saturday. After four losses in a row to the School Up North, Day should finally have some absolution from that hardcore group of Buckeye fans.
