One of the effects of the expanded College Football Playoff is the de-emphasis of The Game if Ohio State wins the title

Ohio State is playing like every player on the roster bottled up the feeling after losing to Michigan and is uncorking it before each play.

The Buckeyes look locked in through two rounds of the College Football Playoff, and it seems a stunning loss to their archrival has put them on the path to a championship.

Legendary coach Nick Saban said on "College GameDay" that "nobody's gonna remember" Ohio State lost to Michigan if the Buckeyes win a national title.

After not even making the Big Ten title game, Ohio State gets a shot at its sixth AP national championship when it plays Notre Dame on Jan. 20.
