Ryan Day looks ahead to Buckeyes' road matchup against Purdue

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) -- After Ohio State's 12th consecutive victory, the Buckeyes put their perfect record on the line in the penultimate road game of the regular season at Purdue.

Coach Ryan Day addressed the media on Tuesday from the team room at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. You can watch his comments as they unfold in the player above.

Day's remarks came just hours before the first College Football Playoff rankings are released by the CFP committee, with Ohio State expected to be given the top spot in the initial release on Tuesday night.

"My expectation is that I hope none of our team pays much attention to it because it doesn't matter," Day said. "It's good for the fans. I think it's great for college football to be talking about it but nothing matters if you don't continue to win."

OSU is coming off a 38-14 win over Penn State at home this past weekend, which saw quarterback Julian Sayin complete 20 of 23 passes, including four touchdown throws, while the defense pitched a shutout in the second half after allowing a touchdown in the opening 30 minutes for the first time this season.

Sayin was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week for the fourth time this year while teammate and linebacker Arvell Reese earned the league's Defensive Player of the Week honors.

The Buckeyes game at the Boilermakers will kick off at 1 p.m. on Saturday. The following week, Ohio State returns home to host UCLA in a game that will be broadcast on NBC4.
