It took some time, but Ohio State head coach Ryan Day finally made it to the mountaintop last season and won his first National Championship as the head coach of the Buckeyes. Even after a lot of scrutiny after the Michigan loss, Day rallied his team and led the 8-seed Ohio State Buckeyes to a championship win.
Now, after the AP's serious blunder putting Texas and Penn State above Ohio State in the preseason rankings, the Buckeyes are the No. 1 team in the country for the ninth straight week, and they show no signs of slowing down.
