Ep. 176: Why doesn't the playoff committee love Ohio State more?

Ohio State is No. 6 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings and we're back with another Buckeye Talk Podcast to attempt to crawl into the minds of the playoff committee members. Doug Lesmerises and Stephen Means take all your questions on the Buckeyes' current playoff chances. We imagine a world where Dwayne Haskins is back at Ohio State next year, even though he won't be. We praise again the Buckeyes who played best in the Michigan win. And we do it all from McDonald's - they let us inside this time. But that's not all. Two guests join us. First is former Ohio State running back Robert Smith of Fox Sports who revists the Michigan victory, ruminates on 14 out of 15 for Ohio State in the rivalry and tells us where Urban Meyer and Jim Harbaugh go from here. Then we have Ralph Russo, the Associated Press national college football writer. He puts Ohio State in a national context for us, imagining what the Buckeyes might do against Alabama, what they might do against Oklahoma and where the OSU program stands among the best in the nation. It's another packed Buckeye Talk. Come on in. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
