Ohio State digested its Indiana loss in a span of 16 hours. The Buckeyes will dive into the film, review their flaws and work to address them. Otherwise, it's College Football Playoff time.
Ryan Day's squad learned its seeding and quarterfinal location on Sunday, as the Buckeyes earned the No. 2 spot in the CFP and will play in the Cotton Bowl against either No. 7 Texas A&M or No. 10 Miami. It's likely a tougher pairing than No. 3 Georgia will get from the winner of No. 6 Ole Miss and No. 11 Tulane.
The Aggies, should they beat the Hurricanes, would have a de facto home game in the Cotton Bowl, which is located in Arlington, Texas. Both Texas A&M and Miami have elite pass rushers to challenge an Ohio State offensive line coming off a bad day of pass protection vs. the Hoosiers.
But we're still confident Ohio State can win the national championship. The Buckeyes are the betting favorite to do so, in fact, though it will require major improvements in offensive play calling, line play and execution from Saturday night’s Big Ten Championship Game loss.
