The Ohio State Buckeyes may have been looking to replace head coach Ryan Day not too long ago after losing to Michigan for a fourth-straight time, but the tides have turned. One potential replacement option might've been Ohio State legend Eddie George.

Ohio State fans have complicated feelings toward Day, who has lost four straight to Michigan but is one win away from a national title.

Day and the Buckeyes were beaten by their bitter rivals and booed off their home field less than 2 months ago. Now they have a shot at winning it all.

Oh, the bilious anger with which Ohio State football fans chanted their coach’s name after a 13-10 upset loss to mega-rival Michigan at Ohio Stadium to end the regular season. Only they didn’t chant “fire” at all, but rather a different four-letter F-word.

Ohio State had to battle to win its CFP semifinal vs. Texas, and head coach Ryan Day talked about the journey to get there after the game.

FOX Sports' Michael Cohen explains how Ryan Day's increased role in Ohio State's offensive game plan has led to a more explosive passing attack through two College Football Playoff games.

Even as Ohio State turned around its season with three playoff wins, coach Ryan Day turned around his reputation by evolving after Michigan loss.

Weeks after facing immense pressure following another Ohio State loss to Michigan, Day is a win away from the college football mountaintop.

Out of its lowest moment of the season came clarity for the Ohio State Buckeyes.  Raw emotions. Honesty. Hard conversations that were long overdue.  It all came spilling out in a players-only meeting on the Tuesday after Ohio State's devastating loss to Michigan in the final weekend of the regular season.

A Buckeyes win would give the Big Ten back-to-back national champions for the first time since 1942, when the league was called the Western Conference. Paul Brown-coached Ohio State went 9-1 that year and was the third straight national champion from the conference. Voters crowned Minnesota in 1940 and ’41.

Day's Buckeyes had just lost to Michigan for the fourth straight time. How they responded to that defeat speaks volume about his coaching.
