I hate to ruin their party, but Philip Rivers is not remotely qualified to be the head coach of a Power 4 program. Just like all the other guys before him a school talked itself into despite having zero college coaching experience — like that other NFL celebrity NC State’s own rival hired a couple of years ago. Truly, no one ever learns.

Ohio State legitimately faces ending a football season unranked for the first time since 2001. After being thumped for the second week in a row, the Buckeyes have three regular season losses - something that hasn't happened since 2011. Reaching the College Football Playoff for the 13th consecutive year is a goal now on life support.
