Layoff for Buckeyes is absurd

Imagine playing in the biggest game of your life and then having to wait 51 days to play in an even bigger game.

That is exactly what the Ohio State Buckeyes have to do.

After defeating Michigan 42-39 in one of the most hyped regular season games in NCAA history, the Buckeyes will have to sit around and wait for a shot at claiming the national title.

I'm sorry, but the team we see on January 8 will not be the same as the team we saw yesterday. All of the emotion from yesterday's win will have faded. Long gone will be the feel of playing in game situations.

51 days - that is ridiculous.

Which makes me wonder even more, why is it that we can't have playoffs?
