Ohio State football probability metric sets precedent for rest of season

The Ohio State Buckeyes are still among the best teams in the Big Ten, but will they be able to win the conference after losing to Oregon?

The Ohio State Buckeyes lost their first real test of the season Saturday. They entered Eugene with a perfect record and didn’t leave with one, losing to the Oregon Ducks 32-31.

While there were some controversial penalties, especially late in the game, the facts remain that the Buckeyes are not among the undefeated teams in college football any longer.

They are still among the best in the Big Ten though, and Ohio State is 2-1 in conference play with six more games on the schedule. It will take on Nebraska, Penn State, Purdue, Northwestern, Indiana and Michigan.

Of those six, the Nittany Lions, Hoosiers and Wolverines are ranked heading into Week 8. As for the Big Ten as a whole, there is only one team that has above a 15% likelihood to finish undefeated in conference play per KFord Ratings, and that’s Oregon.

Ohio State’s most likely to finish with seven conference wins per the updated projections which assumes it will lose one of its final six games. Here are the projections for the entire conference.

The Buckeyes have Penn State on the road and will have their other two top-25 conference matchups at home. If they can go into Beaver Stadium on Nov. 2 and come out with a win, that 58% chance to end with eight conference wins will get even more favorable.

See where Ryan Day ranks among the highest-paid Big Ten coaches

Ohio State football is one of the most well-known names in sports, so where does its leader, Ryan Day, rank among the best-paid coaches?

Ohio State football is a universally-known name. The Buckeyes, along with programs like Alabama, Georgia, Texas, USC and many others are among those that consistently produce the best NFL talent.

That said, when you have a program worth that much money and playing in some of the most high-profile games in college football, you have to get the best of the best to lead them.

Ryan Day was the heir to Urban Meyer at Ohio State, but where does he rank in terms of being paid like one of the best?

Well, USA Today just unveiled the college football head coaching salaries rankings for this season, and Day comes in fifth overall. He’s the second-ranked Big Ten coach behind Lincoln Riley.

Day’s total pay is $10.021 million while Riley takes home $10.043 million. The highest-paid coach in the country is Georgia’s Kirby Smart, who is the lone leader sitting at over $11.5 million. He’s at $13.28 million.

Day and Riley are the only Big Ten coaches in the top ten nationally.
