Michigan Coach Comes To The Defense Of Ohio State, Triggers Wolverine Fans

It's rare to see a Michigan football coach come to the defense of Ohio State, but that's exactly where Wolverines offensive coordinator Josh Gattis finds himself as pundits, Dabo Swinney and fans hammer away at the Buckeyes for making the College Football Playoff at 6-0. Swinney, who faces the Buckeyes in the Sugar Bowl, had his opponent ranked No. 11 in his final ballot for the coaches' poll and doesn't think the Buckeyes deserve a sniff at the Final Four.

Gattis, clearly watching people pile on the Buckeyes and by default, the rest of the Big Ten, fired off his four reasons why Ohio State deserves to be in.

Gattis has deleted the tweet:

"This isn’t an endorsement this is an acknowledgment of what every kid/team has had to face in our conference," Gattis wrote on Twitter. "Comments show people put their own selfishness in front of so many kids sacrifice this season. Every Big10 player/coach sacrificed more than what anyone can imagine."

Meanwhile, Wolverine fans are furious at Gattis for supporting Ohio State, who definitely wouldn't do the same for Michigan.
