The fact that that the Buckeyes went 12-0 wasn't lost on head coach Urban Meyer, who rewarded the players with rings for finishing undefeated.

There are some who are offended by this including ESPN's Mark May:

I'm no Buckeye slappy, but I have no problem with Meyer rewarding the players for their hard work. They were Big Ten divisional champions even though they didn't get to play in the conference championship game they probably would've won. It's not like they were calling themselves the national champions.
