Ohio State Star Shocks Fans: Why National Title Outweighs Beating Michigan in His Eyes
Four years. That’s how long Ohio State’s claimed victory over Michigan in The Game has been put on the shelf like a dusty old trophy. But here’s the kicker—Jack Sawyer, a former Buckeye and now a Pittsburgh Steelers draftee, isn’t buying into the hype that beating “That Team Up North” should outweigh hoisting a national championship. It’s a fascinating conflict, isn’t it? The primal, almost sacred rivalry pulse versus the cold, hard reality of chasing ultimate glory. Sawyer’s take flips the script: winning championships is the real currency. After all, would you really trade a historic title for a single rivalry win in a season? He’s not alone in thinking that way—especially with college football evolving into this bigger, playoff-driven, almost pro-style game. The stakes have changed, and Ohio State’s mindset with it. So yeah, The Game still matters—it always will—but for Sawyer and a growing number of Buckeyes, a national championship sifts out the noise in a way nothing else can. Irony or pragmatism? You decide.
It’s now been four years since the Ohio State Buckeyes beat the Michigan Wolverines in The Game. But one former OSU star says he’ll take his national championship over beating “That Team Up North” any day.
