Presser Bullets: Ryan Day “Fired Up” for Ohio State’s “Monster” Schedule This Season, Julian Sayin Has “A Different Look in His Eye” This Offseason
In his first formal press conference ahead of preseason camp, Ohio State’s head football coach expressed gratitude to now be in his eighth year leading the Buckeyes, said Ohio State is “fired up” to play a “monster” schedule this season and praised the growth of Ohio State stars Jeremiah Smith and Julian Sayin, who joined him at Big Ten Media Days along with Buckeye safety Jaylen McClain.
A quick bullet-point recap of what Day had to say:
- Going into his eighth year as Ohio State’s head coach, Day says “it’s more of an honor now than it ever has been for me” to be the head coach at Ohio State.
- Day believes the Big Ten has “great momentum” and is “very well-positioned” for the future. He says commissioner Tony Petitti is a big part of that.
- Day believes the group of Big Ten coaches is “as strong as it’s ever been.”
- Day says Ohio State president Ravi Bellamkonda “learns quickly” and “knows more than he lets on” about athletics. He says the Buckeyes are “in great hands” with Bellamkonda as president.
- On Ohio State’s coaching staff: “I’m obviously biased, but I think it’s the best coaching staff in America.”
- Day also thanked Ohio State athletic director Ross Bjork, his family and his assistant coaches’ families during his opening statement at Big Ten Media Days.
- On his son RJ, a class of 2027 quarterback who committed to Northwestern this summer: “I couldn’t be prouder of what he’s done.”
- Day acknowledges that every coach at Big Ten Media Days says his team had a great summer, “but we have had a great summer.”
- Day said Ohio State is “fired up” about playing a “monster” schedule this season. Day thinks the schedule will give the Buckeyes “early feedback” on how good they are as a team.
- Jeremiah Smith has taken a step into a leadership role this offseason, Day said. “It’s great to watch him find his voice.”
- Julian Sayin has “a different look in his eye” this offseason, Day said. “You see a different person. You see a different body. He’s worked hard. He’s gotten stronger. He’s found his voice even more.”
- Day said that as much as things have changed this offseason, now we’re getting back into football season, and “that’s what matters.”
- Day said Sayin has done a great job keeping up with Arthur Smith’s coaching, even though Day acknowledged that Smith is used to coaching NFL quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers rather than less experienced college quarterbacks.
- Day says the atmosphere has “really changed” at Indiana and that will be a tough road game for Ohio State this season.

Big Ten Likely to Eliminate Championship Game if College Football Playoff Expands to 24 Teams
Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti says the conference "pretty much won't be playing a championship game" if the College Football Playoff expands to 24 teams.
Big Ten Likely to Eliminate Championship Game if College Football Playoff Expands to 24 Teams
"I think it's pretty much we won't be playing a championship game if we go to 24. That's been pretty settled," Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti said at Big Ten Media Days on Tuesday.
"In terms of when we make decisions as a league, are we going to support 24? That's where you start the conversations – are you willing to give up your championship game to have the expanded playoff? There's discussion about it now, when you talk to the coaches who have played in the game as they get ready for the postseason. There are a lot of conflicting incentives – it's still very powerful to win a Big Ten championship, and teams play hard; they want to win that game. But you're talking about a pretty tough journey to go all the way through. And where you're playing next, and what happens if they lose that game, they don't get a bye, and they have to go play relatively quickly.
"So, we've just gotten past that, and overall, if we can expand the playoff and have the access we need, we'd be willing to make that trade. As great as our championship game is, it's been wildly successful, and we've had incredible games the last couple of seasons. But I still think we're willing to do that because we believe that access is still the most important thing."
Just sayin': I'd rather keep the B1GCG, freeze the CFPs at 16 teams (or less).

Ryan Day says just what Ohio State football fans needed to hear about QB Julian Sayin before the 2026 season
Julian Sayin returns as the starter in 2026 for Ohio State where he needs to take a step. Ryan Day’s comments should make Buckeye Nation feel good about that happening.Day highlights Sayin’s growth this offseason
Sayin’s first season as Ohio State’s starter was strong until the moments that mattered most. The Buckeyes went 12-0 in his first 12 starts before dropping games against Indiana and Miami in the Big Ten Championship and College Football Playoff. Sayin didn’t play his best when the lights were brightest, and that left a sour taste heading into the offseason.Day’s comments Wednesday suggest the quarterback has put in the work to change that narrative.
“When you look in his eye, you see a different person, you see a different body. He’s worked hard, he’s gotten stronger, he’s found his voice even more,” Day said.
