Ohio State came up short against rival Michigan on Saturday. The No. 2 Buckeyes lost to No. 3 Michigan 30-24 at Michigan Stadium.
Ohio State now has three straight losses to Michigan, and has not beaten the Wolverines since 2019.
Despite that, ESPN’s Football Power Index has Ohio State – not Michigan, not Georgia – ranked No. 1 in the country.

The last time the Buckeyes lost three straight in the series was in the mid-90s. Former coach Urban Meyer went 7-0 against the rival Wolverines. Meyer’s predecessor, Jim Tressel, also had a 7-0 stretch as Ohio State won 15 of 16 combined in the series.
It’s safe to say that Ohio State fans want Ryan Day since he cannot get the job done.
The Buckeyes, at 11-1, will have until next Sunday to find out if they’ll be fortunate enough to earn a spot in the national semifinals, as they were last year after losing to Michigan.
The Wolverines, at 12-0, will move on to the Big Ten championship game next Saturday night against No. 20 Iowa for a chance to play their way into the College Football Playoff for a third straight year.
