Summary

Ohio State opened up the 12-team College Football Playoff the same way it opened up the four-team field by holding up a trophy. The Buckeyes knocked off Notre Dame in the championship game, 34-23, to reclaim their spot at the top of college football. It also punctuated an era of Buckeyes looking to close out their chapters on a high note after four years of riding an emotional roller coaster. On this postgame episode of Buckeye Talk, Stephen Means, Stefan Krajisnik and Andrew Gillis discuss the win and what it means for Ryan Day. They also compareWill Howard to the two other OSU championship-winning quarterbacks of the modern era and where this title sits among them. Thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk.
