Despite winning only the Ninth National Championship in Ohio State Bakies Football history, the resume of head coach Ryan Day still has the same criticism.
On Friday, ESPN published An article of the top ten coaches in college football. The Peking Order was determined by the eleven ESPN college football reporters, each. Kirby Smart of Georgia took number one place, with eleven of twelve first place votes.
The second place moved during the day but with a mixed bag.
Three voters taunted the day as the fourth best coach in college football. For one of the voters, at least, Andrea Edalson, a senior writer of ESPN, the election was due to the same issues, brought as the head coach of the bakeies against the resumption of the day again – his record against Michigan.
“I think he should be docked to keep a bad record against Michigan, the most important game on the schedule every year,” Edelson wrote“He is 1–4 against Wolverin and lost as a prohibitory favorite in the previous season.”

Day and Bakies have lost four directly to rival Michigan, probably the most shocking in last November with the most recent installment. Number 2 Ohio State, according to ESPNBET, entered the matchup as a favorite of 20.5 points on unpublished Michigan, and lost 13–10 at home.
But what about the national championship victory? Senior ESPN writer Mark Shlabach ranked smart as the number 1 head coach, but wrote that if Dey directed the bkeys for another direct title, you can make a case for him to be the number one.

Edalson wrote, “You must be thinking that the reason for the national title is enough.” “But in any other season, Michigan’s disadvantage would have eliminated the bkele’s season. He only got a second chance due to the newly expanded 12-team playoffs.”
To overcome constant criticism, the solution is simple: the day and bakeies should start winning against that team on the north.
