If Ohio State wants to wash away the bad feeling of losing to Michigan, they have the opportunity right in front of them. It starts with beating Tennessee in the first round of the College Football Playoff and making a run.
The Buckeyes will have to play Oregon if they were to beat Tennessee. Oregon beat Ohio State back in October, 32-31, in a close game at home. Another battle could soon happen.
Oregon is a trendy pick to win it all and they’ve earned that with a perfect record. Ahead of the playoff, former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer was asked if Oregon was his pick to win it all.
"They are," Meyer said when asked of his national championship pick via The Triple Option. "I think they're the fastest team in the country. They looked like they lost a little gas in the second half against Penn State, but when they're on all cylinders, they're the best team in the country.
"I think they're the most balanced team defensively, right now. And they're playing at a high level."
Oregon won a Big Ten Championship in a game that many had as the potential second meeting between them and the Buckeyes. Ohio State’s loss to Michigan changed that all.
Ohio State lost their chance to have a first-round bye, so their road is a bit harder. Ryan Day has a chance to create a good story and change the thoughts around the program under him currently that many hold.
If Ohio State can win it all, they’ll prove many people wrong. One of those people happens to be their former head coach who won a National Championship himself in Columbus.
