It’s been a long three weeks for Ohio State fans, especially on social media. Specifically, X (formerly Twitter), where both Tennessee and Michigan fans have been relentless in their trolling of Buckeye Nation. But Ryan Day and his team weren’t hearing any of the chatter, or maybe they heard all of it. Either way, the men in Scarlet and Gray came out swinging.
And as you may expect, social media had some things to say about the 42-17 blowout win over the Vols. Tennessee fans made some noise by buying up some tickets, talked of planting flags, and throwing goalposts in the Olentangy River. But it was not to be, and Buckeye Nation let loose. Let’s take a look at some of the best responses via social media from Ohio State’s lopsided win.

That seems about right
What I’m gathering from Ohio State’s drubbing of Tennessee is that 9-3 Illinois and 8-4 Iowa were actually more deserving of a CFP spot than anyone in the field.
Did I follow that logic right?

Hypothetically speaking

That’s some high praise
Tennessee long time insider Tony Basilio on his call-in show tonight said Tennessee has not seen a team like Ohio State all season in the SEC. The amount of playmakers Ohio State has they haven’t seen that before.

Really good
This is why I’ve been saying all along that Oregon should be rooting for Tennessee.
When Ohio State is on, they’re as good as anyone.
