State of Ohio hosts a College Football Playoff game, but the Buckeyes aren’t exactly going into it on a hot streak.
Their most recent match was without a doubt their most disappointing match in a while upset by unranked Michigan At home.
The Buckeyes entered the game as three-touchdown favorites, but the Wolverines won their fourth straight game in the rivalry after Ohio State won 15 of 16.

The calls to fire Ryan Day are louder than ever, and even after last year it had gotten quite loud. However, it doesn’t seem like he’s going anywhere.
“Coach Day is great,” Ohio State athletic director Ross Bjork said on 97.1 The Fan. “He’s great to work with. He totally gets it. He loves being a Buckeye. So we’re going to support him at the highest level.”
Bjork added that he is “absolutely” confident that Day will be back on the sidelines for Ohio State in 2025.

“The season is not over yet. The book is not closed,” he added.
Ohio State, ranked No. 2 in the country at the time, fell to Michigan 13-10, and Day-calling back-to-back timeouts benefited the Wolverines. Day is 1-4 against the Wolverines since joining Ohio State, losing only six other games in his tenure.
Now they have set their sights on the Tennessee volunteers and a national championship.
