I look to see some big changes! If not their will be more of the same next season.
Nothing happens till after the announcement of the playoffs final 4.
Definitely disclosure of a candidate, that supposedly is one of the best college players who should not make getting an invite to New York City!

I've been critical of the culture most of the year and it's Day's doing. As a players coach, I feel like he's created, or allowed it, a culture of spoiled brats with no grit. They lack mental toughness and with the exception of Tommy Two-Thumbs, they're really not that physically tough. What good does all that talent do if you can't battle adversity or build gameplans that actually leverage your talent. I've been uncomfortable with the "pretender" status all year and knew today would be hard to watch. Frankly, the most accurate statement I heard all day was from the UM DB that said "they are who we thought they are". I'm sure they thought we were soft and it showed.

I'm not suggesting Day needs to be fired, but he'd better win in Ann Arbor next year or I'll be hopping on that bandwagon.

Yep. From game 1, all you heard from OSU was how they got "tough" in the off-season. Not sure they really played like it this year. They won some close games with way more talent, but I never saw them grit out a win with a physical team by taking their will. Like I was trying to say earlier, they ripped off Illinois defense from last week. It worked to stop the run, but McCarthy was on point on the downfield stuff and it killed any chance they had. When was OSU's secondary the strength of their defense? To put that on them was asking alot

Your definitely different than I! Your giving him another season? WTH…. He’s a players coach?
Tell me a players coach that wins NC, better yet beats the team up north? I’m done with him and his ability to employ a Defensive Coordinator. If things are to get back in the NC talks then things need to change starting with him!!!! This is smelling like the Urban Meyer team that it still is, he picked the coach.

I was a huge Buckeye guy till JB got the screws. The whole shit show needs a new leader! We haven’t had a great defense since Fickle and Vrable were DC’s.
Geesh I need to go to bed!

Im guessing we will have quite a few LSU fans on here when they play Georgia. Since A&M just beat the crap outta LSU, they are way out of the running for top 4. But...they will play Georgia in the SECCG. If they were to win, that would put OSU back in due to their loss coming to a better team (Mich) vs UGA (LSU).

Yes. Not because I want the Buckeyes to have a shot at the playoffs. I just like to see an underdog win. I enjoy a tighter competition. I actually see Georgia winning out even if they lose to LSU.

I still OSU's best chance is for TCU or USC to lose in their championship games. No way the committee leaves a SEC team out

If history is any indicator, even if Ga loses to LSU in the SECNC they'll end up in the 3rd or 4th slot.

I am still of the opinion that a team that doesn't play in a conference title game shouldn't get a benefit over a team that does and loses. Ga shouldn't get bumped out because they lose, and a team that didn't even play in a title game shouldn't get put in.

Ohio State doesn't deserve as spot regardless of what happened last night or what happens in the title games. After getting a synopsis of Day's post-game presser, I'm now in favor of his removal. A real leader takes all the blame. A real leader calls himself out for not having them prepared or making the right adjustments. He laid it all on having a "bad game". That's some sandbagging bullshit right there. Lost some respect from me for sure.
