Ryan Day was in a unique position as Ohio State's coach, possessing an impressive record while facing public scrutiny due to a four-year losing streak against Michigan.
The recent loss against Michigan exacerbated Ohio State's turmoil, marking the worst loss of this four-year streak against a Wolverine team that had underperformed throughout the season.
The team's failure to beat Michigan has complicated Day's legacy, as Ohio State's objectives of defeating rivals and contending for titles become increasingly misaligned.
The introduction of a 12-team playoff could shift the expectations for coaches, as failing to meet traditional rivalries may no longer directly influence their legacies.
