Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin is out indefinitely with an arm injury, potentially ending his season and damaging the Buckeyes' national title and College Football Playoff hopes.
01Summary
- 01Coach Ryan Day said Tuesday that Sayin is out 'indefinitely' and a plan is being made for him missing the regular season and postseason.
- 02Sayin suffered an arm injury in the fourth quarter of Ohio State's 19-15 win over Indiana on Saturday.
- 03Before the injury, Sayin ranked third nationally with 2,007 passing yards and 19 touchdowns.
- 04The undefeated Buckeyes are the No. 2 seed in CBS Sports' CFP bracket projections but face games against No. 16 USC, Oregon, Northwestern, Nebraska and Michigan without Sayin.
- 05The CFP selection committee can consider the unavailability of key players, potentially affecting Ohio State's ranking as happened with Florida State in 2023 after Jordan Travis's injury.
02Why it matters
Ohio State's playoff seeding and national title chances now hinge on how well backups Luke Fahey and Tavien St. Clair perform, and whether the committee penalises the team without its star quarterback, as it did with Florida State in 2023.
