After an 82-year wait, the Big Ten Conference has finally achieved consecutive national titles. Following a crushing late-November loss to Michigan, Ohio State regrouped and secured four consecutive victories, culminating in its first national championship in a decade. This triumph took place on Monday night in Atlanta, Georgia, where the Buckeyes defeated the Notre Dame Fighting Irish with a commanding 34-23 win.
More than just the conclusion of the college football season, this victory served as a resounding validation of coach Ryan Day’s leadership. Despite facing significant external criticism, the achievement reinforced that Day’s tenure in Columbus, Ohio, is well-deserved and should be secure for as long as he continues to guide the team.
