The Ohio State Buckeyes may be the hottest team in college football after opening the playoff with two blowout victories. Ohio State head coach Ryan Day made his feelings clear about whether the team's loss to the Michigan Wolverines helped the program heading into the College Football Playoff.

First, Ohio State trounced Tennessee 42-17 in the first round of the College Football Playoff and on New Year's Day the Buckeyes exacted revenge over Oregon in a 41-21 drubbing of the No. 1 team in the country. Ohio State is now two wins away from winning its ninth National Championship, all while fans call for their head coach to be fired.

Everyone was writing obituaries. Predicting a new coach at Ohio State. Calling this group of Buckeyes a $20 million flop.
