Blowouts were expected in the first round of the College Football Playoff after all four games opened with point spreads of more than a touchdown. But while none of the games ended up being especially close,

In the waning moments of Ohio State's 42-17 rout of the Vols Saturday, the Buckeyes turned the rumors on their head, playing "Rocky Top" over the speakers before transitioning into Steam's "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye." Up 42-17 on Tennessee, Ohio State just played Rocky Top over the stadium speakers.

For three long weeks, the Ohio State Buckeyes stewed. The dispiriting loss to Michigan. Having to sit at home instead of playing for a Big Ten championship. Slipping to the No. 8 seed in the College Football Playoff and having to face a dangerous Tennessee team in the first round.
