COLUMBUS, Ohio — For four of the previous six years of his head coaching career, Urban Meyer spent college football's championship weekend not on the couch, but rather on the sideline, and in direct control of his teams' national-title aspirations.
So while enough chaos seemed possible over this past weekend for Ohio State to backdoor its way into the four-team College Football Playoff, you'll have to excuse the Buckeyes head coach for not being comfortable with feeling like a lame duck.
On Sunday, after it was revealed Ohio State did not in fact make this year's playoff, effectively ending its national-title defense, Meyer said that he didn't waste much time the day prior rooting for upsets across the country.
