The discourse surrounding College Football Hall of Fame coach Lou Holtz and Ohio State continues after the 86-year-old moved the Buckeyes down five spots in his FWAA Super 16 ballot this week.
The wild part about his decision, though, is that the Buckeyes didn’t even play over the weekend. And Ohio State is coming off a huge road win over Notre Dame the previous weekend. That matchup is actually what sparked a rift between Holtz and Buckeyes coach Ryan Day.
Holtz moved Ohio State down to No. 9 in his rankings after having the Buckeyes at No. 4 following their win over the Fighting Irish on Sept. 23. By contrast, The Associated Press Top 25 rankings has Ohio State at No. 4.
