It really depends on who would get that pick also. If we are playing hypotheticals, lets do this one. If burrow got hurt this year, that bengals team very well may have only won 2 games, they were that bad. There is NO WAY they would draft a WR #1, absolutely not a chance. So if we wanna play this hypothetical game, there are multiple ways that he would not be drafted #1. Mason Graham is the best player in the draft, and I dislike michigan with a passion.

However, with the way they played against Tennessee and then again against Oregon, and as we move past the questions of "why didn't they play like this all year?" "why did they play down to their opponents all year?" Ryan Day will buy himself more time if he can get the boys to win the natty. But, if Day's Buckeyes lose to Michigan a 5th straight year, the calls to fire him will get louder despite what his overall record is.

When we lost to Michigan 2 of the 3 goals were taken from us. After that game the feeling around the fan base was if we can’t win that game how is the playoffs going to look? On top of that the talent gap this year is as wide as it ever will be. If not this year then when? So yes that loss hit hard.

Doggy, you aren't from Ohio, It's an Ohio thing, you wouldn't understand. I was ready to drive Ryan Day and Chip Kelly to the airport after that Michigan game. Bottom line, Ryan Day better win the Chip this year PERIOD!!!!

[@wendellthomas179]

The game between the Wolverines and BUCKEYES in November is a great Rivaly that will ALWAYS matter... The Natty ' is important.....The GAME is important......ITS that CRUCIAL & always will be...that Michigan loss still hurts....😢

[@MikChap]

Always an over reaction on the way Texas and OSU looked yesterday Every game is different

[@BBQPITDOG]

Is this the Real Housewives of ESPN?

[@royhobbs5167]

I honestly don’t think there’s a legit starting NFL quarterback in the draft this year.

[@squidward06]

3 goals at Ohio State,,, 1 beat Xichigan, 2 win the big10 title, 3 win national championship,,, anything other than that is a failure

[@Mr.X2188]

And for the last 3 seasons, Ryan Day has failed all of these objectives. This season, he has failed 2/3. He needs to win the title ti save his job

[@squidward06]

@ The only thing I can give Day a pass for is the xichigan games from 21-23, hard to win when they know your plays ahead of time which is why they’re about to get hit with sanctions, their 30 day extension for the notice of allegations should be expiring soon

[@icyballerj5857]

@@squidward06I’d argue give him a pass this year All the seniors they have this year they shouldn’t have and only do have bc they broke covid protocols to get them Until those seniors are out the team is tainted

[@squidward06]

@ Ohio State!?

[@icyballerj5857]

@@squidward06 no Michigan cheated to get players 4 years ago breaking covid guidelines and now those players they cheated to get are seniors and they shouldn’t have them now Next year the slate will be clean unless they have 5th year guys

[@buckeye4life139]

Just because you yell the loudest, does not make you correct. Yelling over people is a sign of no confidence.

[@A_Realist]

I’m taking Jeremiah Smith and Travis Hunter over any qb in this year’s draft. I’ll wait until their are better qb’s available in the future.

[@GIbsonMcConnell]

Steve Smith knows how OSU fans really feel. Day was in major jeopardy until the Oregon win. And unless he wins a title this year, if he loses to Michigan again next year, he'll be done. Fans won't want him anymore.

[@shawnslawter4497]

Stephen A. Doesn't even know football

[@baltacano4903]

Same was said about Ryan Williams but, since he is not in the final four.

[@NBAwasBetterInThesands]

Espn, what an idiotic question. Yes they do!! But in the biggest twist of irony, the coaches got the embarrassment of a lifetime w gameplan against scUM, then heard from the players, Day took his hands off the wheel, gave it to Chip to feed the best player in the country, and, VOILA!🤦‍♂️ Bold statement here...I think Day has FINALLY been changed for the better with the loss against scUM.

[@HARRY__Pecker]

“I’m not saying you’re wrong, but here’s where you’re wrong.” - Stephen A. Smith

[@cham5275]

It def matters. Bc even if they win it all this year, michigan still beat the champs.

[@CatchTheWave-X]

Stephen A is the uncle that annoys everybody at the BBQ

[@KoreaWandering]

This reminds me when the media were convinced that Ohio State would blow out Florida in the national championship about 10 years ago. How’d that turn out? 😂 It could go either way.

[@MrThumbs63]

Mad Dog is the one who needs to let it go.

[@jshulman98]

I wish Dan woulda just said “every gm in the world is taking Smith over Cam Ward and Sheduer”… cause they would lmao. The Giants, raiders, browns.. whatever QB needy team would still take Smith. Cam and Shedeur aren’t worth top 10 picks, they should be mid to late 1st round picks

[@GabrielMartinez-sd8pc]

Remember when they said the same exact thing last year when Texas was going to play Alabama in Alabama? Literally no one gave Texas a shot and they won. Texas may lose, OSU may lose. We will see.

[@dontejohnson9034]

That Smith young man from Ohio State, maybe the most talented WR I have seen in College since Calvin Johnson. He would be the 1st pick in this year draft.

[@freeclimb5487]

It's all they think about... Michigan lives rent free in their head.

[@brutussmithers6341]

A certain faction of buckeye fans would rather beat Michigan than win the national championship. Beating Michigan IS the championship.

[@bardwell84]

if Day doesn't coach this OSU squad to a title, yes he has to go. The Game still matters. the loss to ttun still matters... and the only number one pick that isn't a QB this year is Hunter. Smith is amazing, but he's not holding the weight of what Hunter can do for every team... thanks and continue on.. the fact that Mad Dog doesn't understand a real rivalry, further let's us know that other conferences don't have real rivalries.. they're rivalry in name alone. The Game, there's always a fight. that day produces hate amongst schools. sincerely an OSU alum

[@brutussmithers6341]

Absolutely. I think he earned another year with these blowouts. A natty would feel good, but he still needs to beat Michigan.

[@chazsmoove]

As an OSU fan I would rather go 1-11 as long as that 1 is against ❌ichigan. Ryan Day is doing what he’s supposed to do, win games. If he can’t win The Game then he’ll go the way of John Cooper. It’s that simple.

[@MrKillian1983]

Winning the Championship is not the same when you lose to your rival in the same season, especially when you are favored to win like Ohio State was. Real fans get and understand that!

[@MBarberfan4life]

Alabama doesn't care that they lost to Auburn before some of their championships. Championships are the ultimate goal, and every team agreed to that

[@uthamanj]

If New England or Carolina was picking first, they would run Jeremiah Smith's name to the podium.

[@jalonmoore7407]

I would rather beat Michigan and lose every other game

[@charliebaggett5485]

How does Stephen A. Have a job?

[@ziggyholiday]

I normally don't care for SAS's way of communicating, nor even the majority of his takes, but he is spot on with this one....front offices will trip over themselves to make stupid draft choices every day of the week.

[@lpose616]

Who cares, they didn't beat michigan

[@willyork670]

Both Steven A and Dan are right about the JJ going number 1 argument

[@samuelbaker3252]

Wait, Mad Dog said the Big Ten was horrible, now he is all band wagon?
