The Ohio State Buckeyes were blown out at Purdue on Saturday night, and now their College Football Playoff hopes are on life support.

Now, there are reports that there’s tension between coach Urban Meyer and the OSU administration, and some think this could be Meyer’s last year with the Buckeyes.

On Tuesday, SEC Network host Paul Finebaum joined “Outside the Lines” and told host Kate Fagan that he thinks Meyer will resign at the end of the year like he did at Florida earlier in his career:

“I’m hearing a lot of whispers that this will be Urban Meyer’s final season in Columbus,” he said. “You go back to August with the controversy over Zach Smith, you talk about Gene Smith, the tension between them — you saw it at that press conference. You also know by now that a member of the Board of Trustees wanted more severe punishment and ended up resigning.

“That was before the season started, and of course Urban missed the first couple games, and since he’s been back Ohio State had won until Saturday night — coming from behind to beat Penn State — but they have not looked good. Urban Meyer’s demeanor on the sidelines has been curious. He’s complained several times of headaches. And having covered Urban Meyer at the University of Florida, Kate, this looks like a rerun, this looks like déjà vu. Urban Meyer walked away down there when the pressure got too much, and I believe he’ll do the same thing at the end of the season here.”

Meyer certainly hasn’t looked like himself the past couple of weeks. If the Buckeyes can’t turn things around, this may indeed be Meyer’s last year in Columbus.
