College football is a game of explosive plays, immense passion, and endless thrills. Every Saturday during the college football season, the spirit of competition and excitement take the field as the nation’s top student-athletes battle for gridiron glory. The powerhouses in college football are teams like Alabama, LSU, Ohio State, Clemson, and Florida, all of whom compete in the fiercely contested NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision. Whether it’s a hard-fought rivalry, chaotic scene in the stands, or an unbelievable touchdown grab, college football fans of all ages, backgrounds, and regions experience the same passion and intensity each week. From the blue-blooded programs to the rising stars, college football will always be the people’s game.
Ohio State Football is one of the most successful college football programs in history. With a total of 8 National Championships, the Buckeyes have established themselves as a powerhouse in the NCAA. Led by head coach Ryan Day, Ohio State has become known for its hard-hitting, aggressive defense and a high-octane offensive attack. While their recent success has been rooted in their strong recruiting class and their 2014 national championship, the program has a long and storied history in the college football world. On any given Saturday, the OSU faithful can be found inside the famous Ohio Stadium cheering on the scarlet and gray. Regardless of the opponent, each game brings out the passion and excitement that Ohio State fans are so well known for. Follow the Buckeyes and join the Buckeye Nation in their quest to reach another championship. Go Bucks!

I don't think so
James Franklin better respect Ohio State. He ain't beat them boys in 9 years😂🎉 Ohio State owns Penn State🎉
WHO SHOULD BE FAVORED THIS WEEKEND: OHIO STATE OR PENN STATE???
Ohio State should definitely be favored. We have the better team. Why is this even a question?
Ohio State they had a chance and should have beat the number one team in the country. Yes, we should be favored against everybody from here on out
If you are being reactionary then yep Penn State will be favored. If you look at the entire season PSU has trailed in the second half to 3 unranked teams. Both teams have injuries to deal with
Ohio State was right about the so called targeting on Arvell Reese, that clearly wasn't targeting, ask Marvin Harrison Jr about targeting against Georgia.
Ohio State, they will come to play and show their good stuff.
Buckeyes, we can mess up Penn States ranking
No Harbaughs in Ohio, boo the former coach of TCUN out of the stadium. Ohio State fans unite, Browns down the Chargers and Buckeyes win in not so Happy Valley for Penn State
I hate the Simpsons, they should be taken off the air, long overdue when it goes off the air
Another Sunday night show that Fox airs , those make no sense
Put it this way the browns and the New York Jets do not know how to pick QB staying with the Carolina Panthers same thing😊
The scoop broke the news last night about Reese
As long as the f**** head coach can couch I don't give a f*** what color he is God damn
Lsue everyday deion Sanders he's talking about deion Sanders FYI😂
Penn State
Keep hating on Bo Nix as he has better stats than Mahomes, and better stats and a better record than Watson, Stafford, Prescott, Tua, Daniel Jones, and Geno Smith who are all on 100+ million dollar contracts.
Personally I think penn state should be favored. If u go off of the data we have right now from last week I believe they are the better team atm.
I bought tickets to the game before the time slot was selected. Super pissed that it’s a noon game!
Don't downplay the probability that James Franklin will undoubtedly do something stupid and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
Kris come on dawg…. One of your favorite Buckeyes of all time has has epilepsy
@Zach … can you the bitch add punk’s 911 call online?
Ryan Day doesn’t know what substitution means
Will Will be the difference in this game
Chris was a straight nerd when he was a kid. It all makes sense now. Y’all do shit different down in Ohio. Which 1000% explains that garbage fire of a state. I get it now. At 45 I finally figure what’s wrong with Ohio & most of its residents. Yall weren’t allowed to watch the Simpsons, Family Guy or Southpatk. Totally get it now.
Go BLUE!!!😤🤷🏻♂️
Michigan vs everybody.😤😤😤✊🏼
Love the show guys but the Enok discussion was pretty mind numbing. You all keep saying transitive property does work in college football and then you just keep doing it with games, players, and sometimes coaches. Good show other than that.
Sry zach Frye stinks. His philosophy is the problem
It doesn't matter if enokk was here still because Frye does not coach every player up.. him and Ryan icky coach up starters..its true and evident
Tate was a 5 star too
The way you guys talk about the Broncos shows me you have no idea what you’re talking about. “Their QB situation is not good.” Uh last I checked Bo Nix among rookie QBs in the month of October is 1st in yds, 1st in passing TDs, 1st in TD/INT ratio 1st in rushing TDs, and T-1st in wins. He also has the most total TDs amongst rookie QBs the whole year. Yes, more than Daniels. He also became the 4th QB since 2000 to have 3+ TDs, 1+ rushing TD, and 120+ passer rating in a single game. We do not have a QB problem lol
Urban Meyer beat a lot of bad scum teams, he’s everyone’s god around this podcast. So I guess he only gets credit for the 1 good team they put on the field in those 7 years.
Ngl… I kinda like Zach’s neighbor 😡🤬
As a buckeye fan born in gray Columbus, Ohio, I can already say that if we beat Michigan this year that it won’t feel almost the same as any of the other time we have beat Michigan it wouldn’t be the same feeling as if we beat Michigan with Harbaugh coach Blake Corum running back and JJ McCarthy and I guess Roman Wilson that Michigan team would’ve been a great deal if we did it
Ever met a wounded tiger? When the Buck eyes mean to play the can n will. Saturday will be epic…every thing is at stake..
The basketball / NBA content is fireeeee, you guys should it more
Ya’ll are mental if you think Franklin meant that as disrespect.
@kris Justin fields takes anti seizure meds 1:14:30 ….. 🤦🏻♂️
29-minute mark… You wonder why Fox Sports noon.. Doesn't change the big games to 7 or 8 o'clock at night to compete with ESPN….
Well, it's because they're all in the same family…. What is BlackRock? What is Vanguard? What are these stock option companies?.. How much stock does Vanguard Black Rock and such own stock in Disney? How much they own in Fox Sports?.. What do you know? A lot. Basically, what I'm saying, and if you use your brain, they are monopoly… They are not going to compete with themselves, or should I say family…. It's the big secret that everyone knows that these companies are all owned by each other… And they're not going to hurt each other.. That much financially…. Dahhhhh… How hard is this to understand?
Also 29 minute mark…. Why is there more one person that can override a bad call in the booth?.. Why did it take a full day for it to be changed?.. Your argument is they had all day to make up their mind, look at the footage, and make the right call. Why didn't that guy make the call? And someone else changed it a day later. .. Well, it probably was the same guy, and it probably was changed because momentum of the game, ratings of the game At the time of the call, ratings equals revenue equals eyeballs on the TV equals distraction from people doing other things…. They want you to constantly watch a distraction at the game and keep the game interesting and keep it close…. Believe it or not, Fox Sports and ESPN, NBC CBS love these close games… And so does the advertisers….DAHHHHH… Why don't you guys call this out? This will be more entertaining because it's obvious why they're doing it…..
31-minute mark, Zack is complaining about targeting. And thanks, targeting should actually be called now….WTF?!??!
No, it's the dumbest rule in the book. It's there for a reason, so you can pause the game. Hey, change momentum, kick players out that are making plays…. And maybe change an outcome or keep the interest of the team that's losing in the game…
It's friggin obvious why it's in there. It's not for safety…
The obvious thing is to change if you're worried about people leading with that helmet that's made of metal….
get rid of the metal helmets, just put some pads on their heads like they did in the past.
.. Take some of the padding out of the shoulder pads….
Anybody ever started playing football with pads and helmets, you learn at the young age, you can take a bigger hit and dish out a bigger hit because the pads and the helmet take the abuse more….
Dahhh .
There's this game called Rugby and more important Australian rules football… Last I look at those games, they plan regularly. They still tackle. They still hit each other. Oh, and they don't lead with their head and shoulders in those tackles. And they don't wear pads at all….
I wonder what the statistics of concussions are in Australian Rules Football, compared to American Football.??
I wonder if the concussions would drop drastically after a few years or more with no metal helmets no more and extra padding and shoulder pads….
They get first year. It'll be kind of rough for people always doing it after a while…… Growing pains, people will change….
