Let’s set the record straight. Ohio State did not buy this championship. - Oregon and Texas both spent more than OSU - OSU spent the majority of their money on guys already on the roster - OSU beat 6 teams that were in the playoffs (penn state, Indiana, Tennessee, Oregon, Texas and Notre Dame) - OSU deserved this championship more than anyone else, by far
This issue with perception and narrative pushing pervaded the entire CFP. It's like people turned into children that can't see anything unless it is right in front of their face, or it was handed to them by someone else and they are just regurgitating it. Thanks for silencing the ignorance.
No argument here and I’m a Texas fan. When I watched Ohio State, I knew the Longhorns couldn’t beat them. Congratulations to Ohio State. Well earned completely deserved.
Notre dame had 54 yards rushing. That’s a brutal stat. Oregon and Notre dame together. Had 50 yards rushing. Total. That’s total dominance. No matter what anyone says. That’s a soul crushing stat.
Did Rich Eisen really try to say that Michigan never lost faith in Harbaugh? Lmao! After 2020, he literally had to take a pay cut to keep his job and most Michigan fans wanted him gone!!
As a huge Ohio State Buckeye fan none of us right now gives a damn about playing that team up north! As a matter of fact that game means absolutely nothing to me because we won the national championship. And the team up north was sitting at home on the sofa watching us play so I don't want to hear nothing about them. They mean nothing to me
And as another stalwart Buckeye fan & Ohio State alumnus (class of ‘81) and was there during the last two years of the ten-year war: Ohio State losing to TTUN was the bitch-slap OSU needed to get it in gear to win the national championship
Yea gloat about beating up on an injury riddled Notre Dame with a multimillion dollar roster…they bought this championship…and MICHIGAN STILL OWNS YOUR ASS. GO BIG BLUE, PLANT THAT FLAG in the BUCKEYE A**HOLE.
My take on this new playoff format is, that there’s been a whole bunch of coaches let go too soon. Because of one or two losses. That we "PROFESSIONAL” couch coaches felt was appropriate because the winning teams were inferior, or conference rivals. The new format will stop all the knee jerk reaction for getting rid of winning coaches for having bad games.
When I saw how fragile Lou is now, I don’t care what he says. It’s like watching Joe Biden stagger off the stage. Just leave the old brittle guys alone! ❤️
Ok Finebaum, who’s better? What Day did for that team after such a devastating loss was nothing short of Incredible. Not by a long shot? Knowing Finebaum it’s someone coaching an SEC team. He has to say that. It’s in his Disney contract.
I'm a big time buckeye fan but Kirby is a hell of a coach. and as much as I don't like about SEC I do respect him. He seems to be a great person also. rivalries are needed in sports and different coulters like the south Alabama, Georgia, LSU, and west coast Usc, Oregon, Washington, and Midwest OSU, Mich,ND and the great high football in these states . let's not leave out Texas. it's why I love college football . and the fall and beginning of the season. But in that rivalries let's not forget respect and good sportsmanship. I think watching OSU and Texas and the sportsmanship of Texas and Ewers goes a long ways. I think this kid is special. and hope he has a great NFL career . and also the ND players and coach win or lose they show why they are respected. that stands out more then hatred and is a good thing for all the little boys and girls involved in sports.
Anyone that says this isn't a great team or "I don't know that they'll go down as an all time great team simply because of that loss to Michigan" is either ignoring or is ignorant of the teams that OSU beat this year. OSU beat 6 of the top 8 teams in the country... with OSU being one of them. The only top 8 team that they didn't beat was Georgia, and that was only because they did not play them. No team EVER has faced the foes that OSU has faced this year and came out on top in every matchup. OSU beat #4 Penn State at Penn State, #8 Indiana, #7 Tennessee, #1 Oregon, #7 Texas, and #5 Notre Dame. And many of those wins were complete dominations. This is an all time great team!
Ohio State has the best winning percentage in college football, with a .735 winning percentage. Ohio State has won championships in 1942, 1954, 1957, 1961, 1968, 1970, 2002, 2014 and 2025.
Yeah you’re right Kirk is way in bias.. and not a homer at all… Des literally spoke a fact.. there was a reason OSU was a 21 point favorite AT HOME vs a bad Michigan team.. here’s the problem with you OSU fans.. we give you your flowers congrats B1G back to back F the SEC.. we won it yall regrouped got it together I picked yall in spring to take it all.. but you don’t give us our flowers for making you play our game in the shoe and holding yall to 10… you don’t give our Dline that harassed Howard all game.. that’s plus staying on schedule with the run game is why we won… Graham Grant Stewart imo showed they are top tier NFL talent… in all reality Loosing to Michigan IE my team… that was a blessing in disguise for yall to then regroup again and get it together to go on your run.. again congrats enjoy it I know I sure did last year and see you in November
@@boschlosser10 The problem is that every single comment section is filled with "can't beat Michigan" and "0-4" ad nauseum. That is what OSU fans dislike. Both are false (OSU rolled UM for the better part of 20 years, and had two streaks therein that were longer than 4.) It's childish narrative pushing - and it's tired as hell.
. First stop saying you fans. Say some. I for one gave you props. Those players you named are first round draft picks. TTUN started to figure it out as the season progressed and we unfortunately saw it but we also failed to play our game. The facts are the facts. Ttun won four straight. It's a different Era now and that ship is gonna sail in this Era of NIL, Transfer portal, and new playoff format. In my opinion OSU v TTUN is greatest rivalry ever but it's forever changed now. Penn State backed into the B1O championship off our backs by losing that game. No talk from the pundits about that. It's a new Era will change how these rivalry games will be viewed. If OSU loses the next 10 to TTUN and win out, make it to the playoffs the goal is to win it and they did. I'll take that any day! Rivalry game takes second place. You can have it.
@@MaizeBlueMichiganYeah, it took 5 losses in a row for Harbaugh to finally find a way to beat OSU, the difference is Day already beat Michigan before his 4 game losing streak.
I hope the Browns take Howard I really do now that I see it and I’m an OSU fan but I haven’t really paid attention to college as much. I knew that was going to game but I haven’t seen Howard play that much. He’s good. I didn’t want the Browns to take a quarterback, but I would choose him.
Ryan Day should give a big thank you to everyone involved in advancing the start of the 12-team playoff by at least two years. If the four-team format had still been in place, the loss to Michigan would have knocked OSU out of it. They'd have been in some Left-Hind-Teat bowl with their future draft choices sitting out and Ryan Day would have been on the sizzling hot seat if not gone.
Correct, the 12 team playoff helped OSU while ttun played in a Left-Hind-Teat bowl game that no one cared about! 1-16 under Tress/Urb! Ryan Day is still in Cbus while nosepicker left AA in a big hurry leaving behind a school bus on fire! ttun fans are overjoyed with a 5 loss season...........setting a high bar in AA!
@@bucknut87brutus81 It occurs to me that a common theme for championship memorabilia (T-shirts, posters, etc.) is to list the results of each game by date and score. OSU may perhaps wish to avoid that particular motif this year- "Nov. 30 - Michigan- L 10-13" will stick out like a grease stain on a silk tablecloth.
Boohoo somebody call the wahhhhbulance. Typical AACC dumbass. You do realize you had a team that could have made it right? OSU didn’t play by different rules in a different system.
finebaum is a crybaby...he hates Ohio State....but as far as Ryan Day goes his stock just went off the charts↑ ...he's untouchable right now and his opportunities for recruiting are limitless...OK maybe a bit over the top but am I wrong?
We did figure out how to beat ThatTeam Up North….as they are still riding on the coattails of the cheating scandal. 🤷🏽♀️ Nov 2025 will have a different outcome for sure. So proud of my Buckeyes.. O-H…!! 😉👍🏽🏈❤️🩶🏆🎉
@@touchdowntheory So. The University of Oklahoma has been doing that for about 80 years. One of the dirtiest programs ever and nobody dares snitch on them because there’s repercussions in the state of Oklahoma if you do.
@@Ristofec These people that think there's only 1 school spending NIL money make me laugh. Literally EVERY SINGLE team in the playoffs spent NIL money.
This guy is just repeating the nonsense that the media has perpetuated all season. The majority of the OSU starters were juniors who decided to run it back. Like the other people have said. DO YOUR HOMEWORK my guy!!!
I’m from Ohio and anyone who’s skin is so thin that they can’t take a razzing from your rivals fans that you would rather be the best team on opposite sides of Toledo than you would in the whole country, it says a lot.
I don't think they were rooting against their team. Buckeyes were certainly furious at Day though. It is awkward how many Buckeyes were saying that winning a title was less important than beating Michigan, and they didn't care anymore, when now many of them act like The Game didn't mean anything.
As a long time Big 10 fan I always support Big 10 teams. Last year I rooted like crazy for Michigan but my loyalty to the Big 10 has 1 exception --> Ohio St. The reason is that Ohio St fans are so unimaginably obnoxious without a shred of sportsmanship or humility that I just can't root for them. Enjoy the win Buckeyes but you have no class whatsoever.
Maybe you should stop feeding yourself this ridiculous narrative. This team was mostly built and intelligently supplemented to fill needs. Money went mostly to homegrown players and to get the best they can at positions of need. We simply used NIL more effectively than most. We didn’t spend the most nor did we bring in the most. We were so effective at the NIL game than others are following suit.

Michigan just was a cockroach. It’s not what they carry off but what they fall into and ruin.
The rivalry is too much fun. However the Natty is pretty sweet.
Oh wow! The haters having a difficult time handling the natty... Yall best get over it 😂
Day has Top Three Position in Percentage of Wins ALL TIME !! He is a Great Coach ! One Loss does not a Failed Coach make !!!

very good point sir
or ma'am 😊
Ohio State was two field goals away from being undefeated, one of the greatest runs in football history. Give them the glory they deserve!
Has anyone seen Lou Holtz? Please tell him tOSU won!
😂
Lou Holtz is a senile old man and has been for a decade or two.
Fuuny, but I've heard he and Mark May have gone into seclusion. Not sure old Lou would understand if you told him, anyway. (Same with Mark May!)

Finebaum not only hates Ohio State and their fans, he hates the whole state of Ohio. He said so on his show! What a little sorry man. 🤷
I wouldn’t mind the Browns getting Will Howard and then in the second round I’m getting one of the receivers at least one that they can get
NIL means let the BIDDING begin !
NIL is alot better than the top teams buying talent under the table. Now alot more teams have a chance
Imagine if Ryan Day makes Saban's time at Bama look like an average coach job and wins championships 4 years in a row
We did spend money. Its within the rules. Isnt every team able to spend money?
It is the highest pressure collegewith the expectationthat you compete for a nat every year . And they do
Nobody said it was gonna be easy,the Buckeyes fought through and prevailed
Wonder what Lee Corso says now
