Ryan Day is unstoppable with Ohio State in Columbus. On October 4, Buckeye fans once again packed the Shoe, drawing 105,114 fans for their showdown against Minnesota. Kellyanne Stitts’ X report confirmed it. Four home games, four times the Buckeyes have blasted past the 100K mark. But that’s just the headline. The reason behind it is even louder.

Ohio State has been commanding each of their wins. From the gritty 14–7 opener over Texas in front of 107,524 to the 70–0 demolition of Grambling State with 100,624 fans watching, the Buckeyes are treating Ohio Stadium like their personal kingdom. Even against in-state rival Ohio, 105,765 showed up to watch Ryan Day flex that “still the boss” energy.

And while Columbus was thundering, chaos reigned elsewhere. Penn State, once a playoff hopeful, lost a second straight game falling to a winless UCLA team. Texas, too, is spiraling after falling to Florida, their second loss since the Buckeyes humbled them in Week 1. So while the rest of college football melts down, Ryan Day’s Ohio State keeps filling seats and stacking wins. Business as usual in Columbus.
