Longtime Ohio State football insider Tim May joins Bob McElligott to break down a Buckeyes season on the edge. Ohio State is 6-2 and No. 12 in the first College Football Playoff rankings, the first team on the outside looking in. Julian Sayin is out, true freshman Luke Fahey is under center, and Oregon, Northwestern, Nebraska and Michigan are still ahead. Can the Buckeyes run the table, and would a three-loss Ohio State ever get in? Plus: does ESPN have an SEC bias?
Also on the show:
🏈 TURF VS. GRASS: The players’ union says turf leads to more non-contact injuries. The NFL says the gap is gone. Who’s right, and why doesn’t every team just play on grass?
⚖️ COMMISSIONER FOR A DAY: Bob gets one day in charge of any league. What’s the one rule he changes?
And Bob takes your questions from Patreon members and the live chat, including old Cooper Stadium memories and the salary cap vs. salary floor debate.
