Ohio State fell to Michigan on Saturday, 45–23, losing to its main rival for the second year in a row. The loss also may have dashed the team's hopes for a College Football Playoff berth.
Ohio State, which entered the week at No. 2 in the College Football Playoff rankings, will have to hope for carnage down the stretch. The Buckeyes will finish with an 11–1 regular season record, no shot at a conference championship and no chance at improving their resumé.
After the loss, coach Ryan Day was asked if he still thinks his team deserves consideration for the College Football Playoff.
