You know what's cool? Winning championships. Hardware, accolades, all that. It's fun, and cool, and good, and yes: the 2018 Ohio State Buckeyes were at times an incredibly, insanely frustrating team to watch. They made unbelievably dumb mistakes at critical times and lost to an inferior opponent at the worst possible time (again).
So what? Big Ten champions still sounds pretty damn sweet, and whether the Rose Bowl or the College Football Playoff awaits, the Buckeyes seem poised to kick a ton of ass, whoever they end up meeting.

Ryan Day is the best thing to happen to the Ohio State offense since the absence of Tom Herman. Developing players & calling plays that benefit their skill sets. #GoBucks #Haskins4Heisman

No cap bro @dh_simba7 gotta get that Heisman!

I don't want @dh_simba7 to leave just yet... he has all the talent to play at the next level, but he is so fun to watch for the Bucks

Naturally the only thing that can top the classic we just watched is a Big Ten Championship game with Ohio State versus natural rival

That's the end for now, but in a scant few hours we'll see what fate awaits this goofy, sloppy team of champions. Giddyup.
