ESPN\u2019s Heather Dinich<\/strong> did not drop Ohio State<\/strong><\/a> from her College Football Playoff<\/strong><\/a> projections after Week 14 and a heated rivalry game against Michigan<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Buckeyes were stunned 13-10 at home by the Wolverines, who proceeded to plant their flag and chaos ensued<\/a>. Ohio State dropped to 10-2 on the season, losing by a combined four points to Oregon<\/strong><\/a> and Michigan.<\/p>\n

But Dinich didn\u2019t drop them from the bracket. In fact, Ohio State is still going to get a home game, according to her projections.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have Ohio State seeded at number eight,\u201d Dinich said on SportsCenter.<\/em> \u201cThat means they would be the last team awarded a first round home game that\u2019s given to a team seeded five through eight. So not only are they in the College Football Playoff, but if it were today, they would be hosting Tennessee<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI do expect, though, the selection committee to have a significant discussion between Ohio State and Georgia<\/strong><\/a> and who to rank higher. I gave the edge to Georgia because they have three wins against CFP top 25 teams: Clemson<\/strong><\/a>, Texas<\/strong><\/a> and Tennessee, whereas Ohio State has two top 10 wins against Penn State<\/strong><\/a> and Indiana<\/strong><\/a>. Remember, Ohio State might wind up having a win against the Big Ten champ if Penn State can somehow find a way to beat Oregon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dinich made a good point. Ohio State will have a win over the Big Ten champ should Penn State knock off Oregon in Indianapolis next week.<\/p>\n

Sure, it\u2019ll have lost to the Big Ten runner up, but the win over the Nittany Lions might be weighed in those committee meetings.<\/p>\n

For Ryan Day<\/a><\/strong> and Ohio State, it was tough to talk about what\u2019s next with the Michigan loss so fresh in their minds Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

Day, now 66-10 overall and 46-5 in Big Ten play over the span of six years, was asked about his job status.<\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t answer directly about himself, but rather acknowledged the frustration of falling to Michigan yet again.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean everybody wants to win this game in the worst way,\u201d Day said. \u201cNobody wants to win it more than we do. It\u2019s our No. 1 goal every year, and so when you don\u2019t do that there\u2019s disappointment and frustration. So I don\u2019t blame anybody for being upset. I\u2019m upset more than anybody. Those players are too, and the coaches, and everybody who goes at it. We know what we\u2019re getting ourselves into here.\u201d<\/p>\n
