We aren’t making playoffs without a ton of upsets. We had a 5-5 team to beat and puked the bed.

The special teams mess we have is enough reason alone to laugh at the thought of winning those 4 games in a row. This team and coaching staff isn’t good enough to soundly beat better teams so those games are liable to come down to FGs and what not.

It’s hard to state how unfathomable bad this game was.
The game-plan
The execution
The game management
Too be honest, if Day was going to give up play calling to be more involved in the entirety of the team, it’s been a colossal failure. He fucked up TO’s yet again under 3 minutes in the fourth Q. It neutered the amount do time we should’ve had.
Not as easy of a call but certainly in the moment, it really felt like with Michigans FG kicker, if we punted the ball back, you’re strongly looking at a game winning FG attempt for Michigan. You really have to weigh risk/reward there and the data absolutely says you go for it on 4th & 1 instead of punting it back with 5 mins into that wind.
But unfortunately I think Day has really fallen into a trap of being something he isn’t. He tries to project a roughness in his team and decision making but has suffered from leaning into his own teams strengths.
Just can’t believe how bad this team of studs has performed this year. Truly a sickening feeling.

3 loss teams aren’t jumping ahead of us. Bama and Ole Miss both have 2 losses to unranked Michigan type teams. We are in.

Do you want to fire Ryan Day and then end up with not our top choice? We aren’t getting Dan Lanning for example if we don’t wait until his season is over.

Yeah that is my big thing as well. I don't know who exists out there that can win in this day and age. If one looks at other coaches out there, even so called hot names, they lose games they should not.
As OSU fans, we have to accept that these are new times, and that CFB is increasingly more like the NFL. Losing against a rival is not going to be as big of a deal a decade from now. It just won't.

They also aren’t putting the ratings champions on the outside either. Not to mention a fan base that travels.
Another point I’d like to state is we haven’t played well in our biggest games overall this year. Indiana we played ok but we sucked vs Oregon and then should’ve pounded PSU but kept them in the game too.
