WATCH: Ryan Day press conference at Big Ten Media Days
COLUMBUS — Ohio State coach Ryan Day met with the media Wednesday for a quick press conference to kick off 2023 Big Ten Media Days.
Day enters this Big Ten Media Days and his fifth season at the helm of the Buckeyes football program with plenty of questions to answer. It’s the first time since his debut season as head coach that the Buckeyes aren’t favored to win the Big Ten. Michigan is the preseason favorite this time around.

Major College Football Playoff implications
Harrison appeared on 35 of 37 ballots and gathered 27 first-place votes in the 13th annual cleveland.com Preseason Big Ten Football Poll, which required voters to submit three names (three points were given for a first-place vote, two points were given for a second-place vote and one for a third). As a result, Harrison collected 94 points, more than Michigan running back Blake Corum and Michigan quarterback J.J. McCarthy combined. That Wolverines pairing came in second and third, respectively, with four and five first-place votes.
The lone remaining first-place vote? That went to Ohio State junior quarterback Kyle McCord, who is the betting favorite to win the starting job but hasn’t been named QB1 yet. He’s still competing with redshirt freshman Devin Brown, a fellow former five-star prospect and Elite 11 finalist.
It’s important to note, though, that Ohio State quarterbacks have dominated the Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year award in years past. In fact, a Buckeyes signal caller has won it each of the last five years: Dwayne Haskins in 2018, Justin Fields in 2019 and 2020 and C.J. Stroud in 2021 and 2022.
