Ohio State's College Football Playoff hopes are closely tied to the recovery of quarterback Julian Sayin, who is still out with a shoulder injury. Coach Ryan Day reported that Sayin's injury is healing, but there is no set timeline for his return. The Buckeyes, currently ranked No. 12, face a crucial game against Oregon, aiming to improve their playoff chances. Despite the setback, Day remains optimistic about the team's long-term prospects. The Buckeyes lost their first game without Sayin, falling 30-18 to USC, with freshman quarterback Luke Fahey stepping in. The team's defense and penalties were also factors in the loss, according to the CFP committee.
