Ryan Day: I absolutely think two Big Ten teams can make College Football Playoff

All Ohio State has to do to earn a spot in the College Football Playoff is win out for the rest of the season. That’s obviously easier said than done, but despite the Buckeyes’ 9-0 record, head coach Ryan Day says none of his team’s goals have been reached up to this point.

“We know what our three goals are… beat the team up north, win the Big Ten Championship and win a National Championship,” Day said on Big Noon Kickoff.

Ohio State (2) and Michigan (3) currently hold two of the top-four spots in Week 11’s College Football Playoff rankings, and even with the two team’s impending matchup in late November, Day believes both teams have a chance to earn a spot in this year’s CFP.

“I think we have some of the best teams in America here in the Big Ten. What I know is our focus is, this is March Madness and it started vs. Notre Dame. We win and we move on and that’s all that we’re focused on right now because we know that if we win, we’ll have an opportunity to reach our goals. That being said, there are some really good teams in this conference, and based on how it all shakes out, yeah I absolutely think that there’s a chance that two Big Ten teams can make it.”

For Day’s scenario to play out, both teams would need to enter the season finale 11-0. That means they’ve got to take care of business during their Week 11 matchups before anything else.

Ohio State kicks off against Indiana at noon ET, while the Wolverines battle Nebraska at 3:30 p.m. ET. Both teams are favored by 30 points or more as of Saturday morning.
