After the 2014 season their were a flurry of articles proclaiming Urban Meyer as the best coach in CFB, arguing that he surpassed Nick Saban. While Coach Meyer would give Saban all of the credit(and visa-versa)  Nick Saban responded to the public criticism by promptly winning the 2015 NC and leading his 2016 team to an undefeated, dominate season with an SEC Title and #1 playoff seed. If OSU beats Clemson and is good enough to win the NC(most likely over Alabama), Meyer will be once again proclaimed as the nation's best coach. If OSU loses to Clemson(God forbid!) or Alabama(worse!), Meyer's accomplishments as a coach will be diminished to a point where only a 2017 Playoff victory over Alabama will be considered penance. The elite could coaches operate on an edge-of-a-knife standard that is nearly impossible to live up to.
