INDIANAPOLIS -- Ohio State coach Ryan Day said Tuesday that his talented team is embracing all the expectations and pressure heading into a pivotal season. But Day added that talent alone won't deliver the Buckeyes their first national championship in a decade.

"We all know there's a lot of noise and a lot of hype around this team," Day said during Big Ten media days. "And what we can't do is let those distractions grab our focus from what we need to do day in and day out. We know it's going to be a long season.
