It's Monday, and frankly, it's OK to be salty.
Ohio State, one of the nation's four best teams, will be watching the playoffs from the same place as you and me. That's a travesty, and the only remedy is a 24-team playoff. (If it means sacrificing regular season games against the likes of Hawai'i, Tulsa or UNLV, then so be it.)
Still, the rules of the game and the perils of November were always known. Michigan State came into Ohio Stadium, deployed a hodgepodge of backup QB wildcards and walked out with Buck-I-Guy's Buck-I-Guy doll.
