Ohio State-Tennessee: Ryan Day discusses College Football Playoffs [Video]

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State head coach Ryan Day held a press conference after the Buckeyes secured the No. 8 spot in this year’s College Football Playoff.

The Buckeyes will play Tennessee at Ohio Stadium on Dec. 21.

Ohio State finished the season 10-2, losing to Oregon, who was No. 3 at the time, and unranked Michigan to close out the year.

After the Buckeyes’ loss to Michigan, Day said it’s time to look ahead at the opportunity in front of them in what will be the first time Ohio State hosts a playoff game.

“We got a lot in front of us. As much as this hurts, we got a chance to go play for a national championship,” Day said. “We have plenty good enough players to go do that.”
