We’re all disappointed after another letdown at the hands of Michigan. Ohio State had everything to play for and came up short for a third year in a row. As tough as that pill is to swallow, the sun did come up the next morning.
So, is the season over? For some fans, yes. Even a national championship will not erase the pain of losing to TTUN once again. But all hope is not lost. There is a path, narrow as it may be, for the Buckeyes to get to the College Football Playoff … and just maybe have another shot at the Wolverines.
We realize it’s a long shot, but in the words of Lloyd Christmas in “Dumb and Dumber,” “So you’re telling me there’s a chance!”
It may not be as much fun to back in, but I think most of us would agree, that it would be better to back into the playoff than to play in a meaningless bowl game.
So, let’s take a look at what has to happen for Ohio State to get a shot at redemption.
