Did CFP get it right with 12-team format? | What will RB depth chart look like for Buckeyes? May 08, 2023

Show notes

2023 will be the final year of the 4-team College Football Playoff format. In 2024, 12 teams will be included, including home games for the higher seeds in the first round (5 vs. 12, 6 vs. 11, 7 vs. 10, 8 vs. 9). Then the quarterfinals and semifinals will be played at traditional bowl sites, with the national championship game rotating between major venues as it currently does. Did the CFP get this right? Or should the quarterfinal games also be played on campus sites?

Also, what will Ohio State's depth chart look like at running back this season?

Those are some of the topics the Monday 5ish tackles as Dave Biddle flies solo.

Are the Buckeyes or Wolverines favorites to win Big Ten? May 05, 2023

Show notes

If you look at the gambling odds, Ohio State is the slight favorite to win the Big Ten championship in 2023. However, Stuart Mandel from The Athletic has picked Michigan to win the Big Ten title in '23. The Wolverines are coming off two straight conference championships and return a lot of starters -- and they get the Buckeyes in Ann Arbor -- so it's far from an outlandish prediction from Mandel.

What do we think here at Bucknuts? Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss that and much more.

That is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.
