Urban Meyer no fan of Ohio State-Michigan rematch in expanded College Football Playoff era

College Football Playoff expansion is coming, and former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer worries that rivalry games among the elites, including Ohio State and Michigan, would downplay the significance of the regular-season finales annually. In fact, expansion is a money grab, Meyer says.

"Who are the 'they' you are talking about?" Meyer asked in a recent conversation with The Sporting News. "Is it the coaches and players? For the coaches, no. They could not handle it. The players? Players are resilient, but it's awfully hard. But if 'they' is money and viewership and fan support, oh my gosh, absolutely. 'They' can handle that."

Meyer is no fan of one of the nation's fiercest rivalries potentially being played twice in the same season during the new era, lessening the impact of the first game.

"These are great questions because this is the most-intense rivalry times 10 that I have ever been involved in," Meyer said. "The reality is when you go to a 12-team playoff these teams will cross paths after the rivalry game. That's just so hard for me because I'm such a traditionalist to put my arms around, but once again that's the way it is. So often in college sports someone makes a decision real quick, and then they think about the consequences. This is a real one."

Inject this into my veins. Urban hired a coach whose ONLY JOB was to study Michigan year round. And then he proceeded to go 7-0 against them. Could you imagine? You've got your Offensive Coordinator, your Defensive Coordinator, your Quarterbacks Coach, etc. And then you've got your Director of Beating Michigan. Put it on a business card. And whoever this dude was clearly did his job.

It didn't matter if we were underdogs like in 2018 (won 62-39, lol) or three touchdown favorites like in 2014, Ohio State respected their rival, prepared for them 365 days a year, and beat the shit out of them each November. Bring this mentality back.

Ryan Day, I hope you were listening. Urban Meyer was speaking directly to you. It just so happened that a crowd of people happened to be there as well.
