No. 6 – Ryan Day
What Bender says
“A strong argument can be made for Day as a top-five coach considering the advances the Buckeyes have made in dominating the Big Ten while maintaining the recruiting standard Urban Meyer brought to Columbus. There has not been a drop-off, and Day is the coach we’d bet on to become the next active coach to win a national championship. Expect Day to be in the top five, perhaps even top two, by 2022.”
