Ohio State's Ryan Day completes long, painful climb to college football mountaintop
ATLANTA — As the final few notes of "Carmen Ohio" floated toward the cavernous roof at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the players and coaches from Ohio State removed their arms from around each other's shoulders and used them to spell the state where college football's newest national champion resides. It's a tradition the Buckeyes honor after every game they play — home or away, win or lose — and never has the mood been happier than it was on Monday night, when the ninth national championship in program history was secured with 34-23 victory over Notre Dame. Dear Alma Mater ... O-H-I-O!
