Ohio State coach Ryan Day passes one big test, but the biggest comes next

LA Times  

In the buildup to coaching in the biggest game of his life, first-year Ohio State coach Ryan Day made a comment that appeared to betray his age and experience. The good news for Ohio State as it enters Michigan week is that Day has been around Ohio State just long enough to understand that, as crucial as the Penn State game was for the Buckeyes to check off all the boxes necessary for a berth in the College Football Playoff, Michigan will always be the one he can’t lose. It’s Michigan — “The Game” — that gets Ohio State coaches fired. “The Team Up North is something we talk about every day.” Ohio State could lose to Michigan and still make the playoff by winning the Big Ten championship game the next week.
