The problem Ohio State faces, regarding peaking too soon, is they have no choice. Prior to this 12-team merry-go-round, I said that the best teams in this were Tennessee, Oregon, Texas, Georgia and Ohio State, in no particular order. Ohio State got the short straw, literally lined up to have to play all four of the other top teams, in order to win the title. If Ohio State wins this, nobody breathing can say they got a bye week and didn't earn every last bit of it.

[@joeDaShow04Blows]

Yea good call. Going into this once the bracket was announced, it was clear that the only team who had a tougher road than the buckeyes was Tennessee

I think most of those fans have wanted him gone after the first loss vs michigan. I am also not that guy. I did say, being honest that if he didn't win with this team he built the seat should start to get warm. But I also believes after these 2 wins why would you want to get rid of him? I get it some will never get over the mich losses and thats fine if they want to feel that way. I believe like Tressel says life is about lessons and what you learn from them and how you react. He, Day, looks to me that the michigan game taught him some tough lessons that he needed to learn, and if he goes on to beat Texas and then whomever on the other side and wins a title, why would you want to get rid of him??

UT penalties will amazingly disappear when they play the Buckeyes. Of 134 teams, Ohio State opponents are 134th for penalties while playing OSU. There hasn't been holding penalty by an opponents OL (holding a Buckeye DL) in about 10 games. But if you watch, the OL of all these teams (including Oregon and Tennessee) were holding on almost every play. It sure would be nice if the refs called the game fairly. Maybe AI can replace refs in a couple years.

[@templar1060]

[@UNRYVAL3D]

I completely agree with Collins’s take on Ohio State. The new playoff structure allows teams to grow and develop. I never thought it was fair that we held college kids to higher standard than we held NFL players to. We we’re holding players to the standard that they had to be unbeaten to have a chance at the playoffs with the old format. Now if a good team stumbles and loses a game or two and they still have an impressive résume still with wins over other good teams, there is still the opportunity to get into the playoffs and compete for a national championship. Ohio State grew over the season and the loss to Michigan ultimately appears to have woken them up and propelled them to their best form and now are now one game away from being able to have a chance at immortality.

[@shelbysellers4810]

Plus it factors in games like the 1st oregon/osu game. That game was decided by 1 point. Old format would have eliminated osu right then and there most likely.

Collin makes a great point and unfortunately my best example is my steelers this year. Mid season they looked like a top 3-5 team and now they look like they dont even belong in the playoffs but its all about being hot and healthy when it matters most at the end of the season and post season

[@marklefevre3476]

​@@erikbigham5042 In my mind, he was already fired. He's lucky, and maybe Ohio State fans are lucky too, that he has the chance to win his job back. In a four team playoff, Ohio State ends up in the Liberty Bowl, and Mike Vrabel is looking for a house in Columbus.

Yes you do, especially after a natty.

OSU was dead a month ago after Michigan. Texas had the same come to Jesus moment yesterday and they’ll bounce back. It’ll be a lot closer than the media wants you to think 🤘🤘

[@patrickmcisaac3142]

the media doesn't "want you to think" anything, they are just talking heads. Its not some grand conspiracy and if OSU does only win by 3 its not some grand conspiracy. That being said, OSU looks like they'll win by 24. Sheesh

The media literally has Texas as the favorite...

[@simcosports2584]

Colin is 100% about the targeting play and throwing kids out. That was targeting, no doubt about it, but can we stop throwing people out? We review it, you can see if it’s intentional or just a football play. It was a football play that turned into targeting, he wasn’t head hunting, but it happened.

[@anthonyaliberti]

Ohio State is on another planet as in talent and they’re clicking at the right time. Nobody beats this team Ohio State beat Texas 41 Ohio state 17 texas

[@Gobuckeyes0721]

Ohio state is not peaking they are simply making the right offensive calls now

[@mphouston]

“They didn’t show up twice against Georgia “?! We dominated and lost in the first ever SEC championship overtime game. Stupid take Colin.

[@brysonstark7044]

Who did you dominate? Not Georgia. Not ASU, Not A&M. UT hasn’t dominated anyone in the SEC. Be serious. You don’t “dominate and lose”

[@nospam3327]

Huh. I just put that together. in 1998 Ohio State was the best team in college football. But they blew a game against a little known coach name Nick Saban... and got left out of the championship game. Not this year :)

[@TheRodFarva]

Colin joking about how OSU fans are deleting their post's where they wanted Day fired but i'm sure Colin will leave up his video's and tweet's that were also critical of OSU and Day over the course of the season.

[@Al-Rudigor]

The lunatic fringe at Ohio State, lit a fire under Ryan Day.

[@stonecoldsteverharvey7862]

Absolutely was not targeting

[@jasonmalikclayborne4405]

So Collin basically saying put struggling big brands in over accomplished smaller schools based on the potential of them going on a run

[@fredsmith3241]

Hey Colin, were there other 'missed calls' that could have affected the outcome of the game? Were there any holding calls missed? on offense or defense? Were there any other possible targeting calls on defenseless players that didn't get called that could have affected the outcome of the game? Did their defensive unit hold receivers, or have clear pass interferences that were missed by the refs? It usually doesn't just come down to one missed call.

[@OSUCharger]

Gotta be hard for you, Colin, to push OSU like that.

[@HollaMac5D]

One of the realist takes I've heard for awhile 💯 that team up north loss hurt but them planting that flag in the middle of the shoe woke up the Buckeye Kraken 💯💪

[@EastsideFleet23]

We not gonna talk about the missed offensive PI?

[@TheDavidBowers]

Agree with your assessment that refs prefer not to make calls late that decide games (re: A-State/Texas) but, I would suggest that this is exactly what they DID do. The Refs decided the game. In a situation like that, EITHER call is essentially deciding the game. Well, what can you do, you ask? Bottom line, at this point, the old adage I believe is true: Honesty pays. If it's impossible to make a decision that doesn't affect the outcome of the game, make the HONEST choice.

[@throgmortonartstudio2402]

damn Colin I really agree with you here.

[@rondelllewis6163]

Well stated

[@parithian8462]

It was not targeting, and they were "letting them play" regardless. The missed targeting was agaisnt bond tbh

[@floridapmi]

The question is, has Ohio State peaked too soon? It is very difficult for a college team to play A+ games three games in a row.

[@quincee3376]

The problem is Oregon #1 team got shafted in the playoff how does the number 1 team not have a home game makes no sense why go undefeated in the regular season?

[@joe6198]

We need to let teams develop because of NIL. The same 5 teams aren’t always the most talented anymore, the talent pool is more evenly spread out. Because of NIL, I don’t think we’ll ever see a CFB dynasty ever again

[@joseleffud470]

when Colin didnt talk about Cam Skattebo you realize he didnt watch the game.. There was a point in the game where he had more yards than Texas as a whole

If the Buckeyes win the National Championship, that'll mean they won the first CFP in 2014, and the first 12 team CFP in 2024

[@npsloopy6758]

Don't blame the OSU fans when they drop 4 straight to Michigan and barely survived the game with Nebraska. You now see what OSU has and can do? The fans knew this all year. Day was underperforming, and that was what was frustrating. Now it's like he has Urban Meyer in his earpiece all the sudden.
