It’s time to dust off that word: dynasty.
Ryan Day appears to be building one in Columbus. The No. 1 Buckeyes, winners of 11 straight games with a staggering 400–116 scoring margin, are storming toward college football’s next great reign.
In an era where parity supposedly killed dynasties, Day’s Ohio State stands as the exception. Behind a top-tier defense, elite quarterback play, and a roster stacked with future pros, the Buckeyes look unstoppable and unmistakably dynastic.
Day’s blueprint mirrors Nick Saban’s at Alabama:
1. Money & Resources: Ohio State’s deep pockets fuel elite recruiting and transfer acquisitions.
2. Recruiting Power: Day consistently lands top-five classes, keeping the talent pipeline full.
3. Quarterback Development: From Haskins to Stroud to Sayin, Day’s NFL-level QB tutelage rivals Saban’s at his peak.
4. Player Development: Fourteen Buckeyes were drafted last year, proving Day turns recruits into pros.
5. Staff Management: Like Saban, Day thrives despite turnover, quickly replacing top coordinators without missing a beat.
Critics note Day’s struggles against Michigan and claim he thrives on Ohio State’s financial might. But dynasties aren’t built on excuses they’re built on results. And with dominance this consistent, Day’s delivering on every investment.
Just as Saban’s Alabama ruled an era, Ryan Day’s Buckeyes look poised to define the next one.
