Thanks everyone for your input! I already had root access disabled via sshd config. I will look into fail2ban as it sounds like it remedies the problem I'm having.
I'm confused, what's the actual problem you're having?
Is the problem the log messages from sshd? I just ignore them. Problem solved.
It's fairly odd, on the modern internet, to pretend that an attempt to guess your password is anything to worry about. Think of these attackers as soil bacteria -- if your immune system is so broken that you're vulnerable to such a trivial threat, you have no chance of surviving when a serious threat shows up, and your immediate demise is better for the species as a whole.
