Ohio State
In terms of quality of competition and performance, no double-digit win from the opening round will move the needle more than the Buckeyes’ showing against Tennessee. Last seen getting bullied by Michigan, Ohio State’s rebound shows why this team may be the favorite to win the national championship despite failing to even play for the Big Ten crown. Will Howard played extremely well outside of that interception in the first half, finishing with 24 completions in 29 attempts for 311 yards with two scores while focusing on receiving Jeremiah Smith (103 yards) and Emeka Egbuka (81 yards). Defensively, OSU lost track of Nico Iamaleava at times but benefited from Tennessee running back Dylan Sampson’s apparent hamstring injury, which limited him to just two carries. Overall, the Buckeyes outgained Tennessee by more than 200 yards.
Ryan Day
Day continues to prove he’s one of the best coaches in the country — as long as the Buckeyes aren’t playing Michigan. Freed from the stress and mental strain of that rivalry, Ohio State looked comfortable and energized by the chance to play at home against one of the best teams in the SEC. While the idea that Day might’ve lost his job had the Buckeyes lost was never rooted in reality, a loss on Saturday definitely would’ve put his job security on notice heading into next season. Now, after the way Ohio State looked against Tennessee, Day might take his team all the way to the national championship.
