Urban Meyer and the Ohio State Buckeyes have been through a lot this year, including losing two quarterbacks, so when they found out they made the cut for the College Football Playoffs, everyone was happy, even the coaches wife.

There was one spot remaining after Oregon, Alabama and Florida State won their conferences convincingly for the CFBP.

There was a lot of discussion held before the final announcement of who would take the last spot of the CFBP. Most of the discussion included an argument between the Big 12 co-champions TCU and Baylor.

However, in the end the fact that the league did not name a definite champion might have hurt them the most because Urban Meyer and his Big Ten champion Buckeyes got the final spot. Once announced, Urban Meyer’s wife couldn’t hold the emotion in:

"When he landed, his knees buckled, seemingly in disbelief. Meyer took one step away from the crowd gathered on the outskirts of his living room before raising his right arm in triumph and enveloping his daughter Nicki in a long embrace. “I kind of melted,” Meyer said later.His wife, Shelley, cried tears of joy. Neighbors Jeff and Bonnie Roby stepped forward and popped a $180 bottle of 2004 Dom Pérignon for a celebratory toast, the cork’s explosion coinciding with a merciful decrease of the TV volume. Meyer circled the room and gave everyone a hug, his look a mix of joy and relief. “Wow,” he said at one point. “This is history.”When he landed, his knees buckled, seemingly in disbelief.
