Everyone has their opinions, especially when it comes to college football. Generally, the team you root for is getting hosed, and the opposition is overrated — or something like that. We always find it best to go to an unbiased source to get the temperature of what’s really going on, but that too can be swayed by narratives and historical biases in the media.
However, it’s still fun to talk about and debate. The latest comes from CBS Sports’ Tom Fornelli who ranked all 65 Power Five college football coaches in order. Again, it’s one guy’s opinion, but we were interested to see where Ryan Day is on his list, and what is said about his coaching.
We feel you might too.
So, here’s where Day is ranked by CBS Sports when it comes to top college football coaches today in the Power Five conferences.

What Fornelli Says
“Nobody questions Day’s offensive acumen, but we’ve seen some slippage on the defensive side of the ball in Columbus, and it’s cost the Buckeyes a few games. Day has still gone 34-4 in three seasons, which is an incredible start, but a two-loss season is considered a failure at Ohio State — especially when that second loss wasn’t in the College Football Playoff. Last year also saw Ohio State’s run of four straight Big Ten titles end, and it impacted Day’s standing among our voters ever so slightly. 2021 rank: 4 (-2)”
