Nick Saban believes that Ohio State fans need to move past their rivalry loss to Michigan in order for the Buckeyes to succeed in the College Football Playoffs.
Just days before their rematch with No. 1 Oregon in the quarterfinals of the college football playoff, fans of No. 8 Ohio State are still struggling to move on. Despite putting up a dominant performance against No. 9 Tennessee in the first round of the postseason, Buckeyes nation still can’t get past their loss to arch rival Michigan to close out the regular season.
'These Ohio State fans, they’ve got a psychotic obsession with Michigan, and they need to get therapy or something to get it fixed,' Saban said on Friday. 'They have a chance to win the national championship, and here you are, nobody’s excited about their opportunity to play because they lost to Michigan. It was a tough game, they lost the game with some of the mistakes they made, so those are correctable things.' According to Saban, the Buckeyes might be the best team left in the playoffs, even though they're facing off against an opponent they already lost to in the regular season. 'I think this is probably the most talented team if they play to their standard,' Saban said. 'Offense, defense, they’ve pretty much got it all.' Indeed, Ohio State has let 'That Team Up North' get to their heads a bit. But as Saban said, it’s time to get over it. The Buckeyes are three wins away from a national title, and the only direction worth looking in is forward. Ohio State’s rematch against Oregon kicks off on Wednesday, Jan. 1, at 3 p.m. ET on ESPN
