Dabo gives Ohio State football more bulletin-board material
By Ryan Stano
The Ohio State football team got more motivation from Clemson today after Dabo dissed them once again, this time in the polls.
The Ohio State football team got even more motivation for their semi-final matchup against Clemson on New Year’s Day. Dabo has already been talking smack publicly about how the Buckeyes shouldn’t make the Playoff. Now he has gone a step further.
It was revealed that Dabo voted Ohio State 11th in his final Coaches Poll ballot. That’s right, 11th. Three-loss Florida, two-loss Georgia, and three-loss Iowa State were all ranked ahead of them. He also had Cincinnati, Texas A&M, and Coastal Carolina (!!!) ranked ahead of the Buckeyes.
This is the ultimate sign of disrespect. Every other coach had the Buckeyes ranked at least sixth in their polls. The Buckeyes are clearly better than sixth, but that’s beside the point. The point is that Dabo is delusional and deliberately trying to keep Ohio State out of the Playoff.
It’s very clear that Dabo is afraid to play Ohio State. This is just another example. He didn’t want to have to face them in the Playoff at all, and now they are his opponent in the Sugar Bowl. He knows his team shouldn’t have won last year and probably won’t this year.
If Ohio State wasn’t motivated before to try and beat the crap out of Clemson, they sure as heck are now. Ryan Day is one of the best motivators in the country as a head coach. All he should need to do is put this up at the Woody next to last year’s score and the Buckeyes should be ready to run through a wall.
These two teams hate each other. It’s clear that the hate won’t go away anytime soon either.
