Ohio State Crumble?

Ohio State got torched in Iowa over the weekend, and their second loss this season will most likely keep them out of the College Football Playoff after the season is said and done. Let's face it: Getting blown out by Iowa doesn't help their chances. And it didn't matter if it was away. It was a bad loss and it cookies their season.

Head coach Urban Meyer is three years removed from being a National Title holder, and he is currently 68-8 at Ohio State, which is damn better than impressive. It's godly for what he has done with that program, coming off allegations surrounding former head coach Jim Tressel.

Look, there's no kidding that things are not looking good for the Buckeyes right now. They're not the same team they had for the 2014 season, and many are saying that Urban Meyer has lost his edge as a coach. Really? I mean, two losses this season and many are acting like this? It's ridiculous. Those who criticize him have not looked in the mirror long enough to realize that he's a fantastic coach for this Buckeyes team.

In this game, let me let cleveland.com's Doug Lesmerises analyze that game for you and by the way, piss me off in the process., "Iowa, on both sides of the ball, knew exactly who the Buckeyes were and how to stop them. The Buckeyes had no idea who there (sic) were. So let's get to it. Has Mayer (sic) lost his edge?"

Yes. It was Lesmerises himself that entertained this thought, so let me tell Lesmerises something: You have no idea what you're talking about. Urban Meyer has not lost his edge. He's still a great coach. You're making two losses sound like it's the end of the world. That's for somebody who is obsessed that Ohio State has to win every game and be the best team out there. They're not. They're not the best team this season. They've proven that, and Urban Meyer should not take the blame for that. He can't have the same team year after year. He has to change up his players. They don't always play the same as the guys before him. He's not having a bad year. Yes, he will not get to the CFP but that doesn't mean we have to take shots at him and question his abilities as a coach and whether or not he's lost the team. He's doing fine. You, however, Mr. Lesmerises, are not because if you have to look at this and say, 'He's not a good coach anymore,' then you're definitely crazy and don't know what you're talking about.

Now, Ohio State's season is definitely over. Two losses will definitely do that and it looks like Wisconsin may take that spot if they go all the way and stay undefeated. The committee will take them. They will not take Ohio State, no matter what. It's finished. It's over. They'll get a bowl game, but don't expect them in the playoff. Just stop taking shots at Urban Meyer. He's a terrific coach and a good man who can't have the same team year after year after year. Ohio State will be fine. The endgame just came a little early, and it came at the hands of Iowa. It happens. We move on, like we all should do.
