Here’s how Ryan Day voted in the final Coaches Poll
Published:
Ryan Day repeatedly said that he believed his team was the best in the country after Ohio State defeated Wisconsin in the B1G Championship Game, finishing the year 13-0. He reflected that in his Coaches Poll ballot, too.
Day ranked the Buckeyes in the No. 1 spot, ahead of the likes of LSU, Clemson and Oklahoma. He also showed some respect to Wisconsin and Penn State, ranking them at No. 8 and No. 9 respectively.
In total, Day had six B1G teams in his top 25. Below is his final ballot:
- Ohio State
- LSU
- Clemson
- Oklahoma
- Georgia
- Utah
- Baylor
- Wisconsin
- Penn State
- Oregon
- Florida
- Auburn
- Alabama
- Michigan
- Notre Dame
- Memphis
- Iowa
- Minnesota
- Boise State
- Cincinnati
- Appalachian State
- USC
- Virginia
- Navy
- Oklahoma State
Obviously, Day’s pitch to get Ohio State at No. 1 fell short, as the Buckeyes were No. 2 in the College Football Playoff rankings. The Buckeyes take on Clemson in the Fiesta Bowl.
