What I expect for #OhioState between now and Sunday's national championship celebration:. • Ryan Day to get an extension and raise, possibly north of $11M per season. If not before then shortly after. • Jim Knowles to get a raise, though the pull of Oklahoma appears to be.

@KirkHerbstreit You know as well as anyone that it has always skewed toward deserving, and saying otherwise is disingenuous. And what constitutes "better"? It's such a subjective term, which is why "deserving" has typically held the day. Less subjectivity, which is what the process should be.

It really would have been nice had @FSUFootball, after all of its posturing about being left out of the College Football Playoff, treated the Orange Bowl seriously. I guess there's nothing to proving a point, maybe showing the committee it was wrong in leaving you out? Instead.
