Ohio State

Ohio State's coach Ryan Day encounters increased pressure after a critical 13-10 loss to rival Michigan, marking his fourth consecutive defeat against the Wolverines. The defeat has sparked scrutiny over his strategies and leadership, especially after significant investments in player recruitment through NIL deals. Despite Day's strong overall record, the recent losses overshadow his achievements, with fans and analysts questioning his decisions and future at Ohio State. As a postgame brawl further intensified frustrations, the focus is now on whether Ohio State can overcome this setback ahead of the College Football Playoff.

No. 2 Ohio State defeated No. 5 Indiana with a decisive 38-15 win at Ohio Stadium, halting Indiana's undefeated streak and bolstering Ohio State's chances for the Big Ten Championship and College Football Playoff. Ohio State delivered a powerful performance, with quarterback Will Howard completing 22 of 26 passes and the Buckeyes’ defense limiting Indiana to just 151 total yards. Indiana's postseason prospects are uncertain following the loss, while Ohio State eyes a potential rematch with Oregon in the championship game.
