What's the magic number? | Cornering Florida Dec 03, 2020

Show notes

What's the magic number? How many games will Ohio State play? How many will ultimately be needed? It's all crazy right about now.

247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is here to discuss that predicament, surging interest from a 5-star Florida cornerback and Oklahoma finally hosting an elite Ohio State target.

Good news for Buckeyes Dec 02, 2020

Show notes

Tuesday brought good news for Ohio State as the Buckeyes returned to the practice field after pausing all team activities for three days due to some people in the program testing positive for COVID-19. Then Tuesday evening, the Buckeyes learned they were staying at No. 4 in the College Football Playoff rankings, after many analysts predicted they would drop to No. 5.

Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle to discuss all of that, OSU's upcoming game at Michigan State and much more on the Wednesday 5ish.

Still Final Four faves? | Talking top Florida, Texas targets Dec 01, 2020

Show notes

Snow is falling in Ohio. Will the Buckeyes fall in the College Football Playoff ranking released later Tuesday? Hopefully not. Ohio State was ranked No. 4 a week ago. Dropping one spot means the Buckeyes are left out in the cold.

Duane Long is here to talk CFP vibes, Ohio State's tenuous meeting with Michigan State (and the Fighting Khakis, for that matter) before delving deep on two top prospects with interest in Columbus.

Dave Biddle flies solo on this edition of the Monday 5ish to talk about those burning questions and much more.

Where does Ohio State go from here? Nov 28, 2020

Show notes

You know something's up when the BM5 tackles the Saturday a.m. airwaves.

Something's up alright. Ohio State's game vs. Illinois was canceled due to Covid-19 cases within the Buckeyes' program.

The cancellation produced a litany of questions about Ohio State's status going forward. Dave Biddle joined me to try and talk it all out.

As of Friday morning, we are hearing it is all systems go for Ohio State's game at Illinois on Saturday (12 p.m. ET; FS1). Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle on today's show to give the latest on what we've been told, predictions for tomorrow's game and more.

Buckeyes ranked No. 4 in CFP | Illinois tough or a turkey? Nov 25, 2020

Show notes

Ohio State is ranked No. 4 in the initial College Football Playoff rankings of 2020, which were released Tuesday night. Matt Baxendell joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss that, plus:

* What did Ryan Day and Kerry Coombs have to say about the Buckeyes' defensive issues?

* What are thoughts and predictions of OSU's game at Illinois on Saturday? The Illini are on a 2-game winning streak. But will they be able to give Ohio State a good game? Or is this headed for blowout territory?

* The recruiting just keeps getting better for the Buckeyes, who just landed 2022 5-star wide receiver Caleb Burton.

All of that and more is coming your way on the "Thanksgiving Eve" version of the 5ish.

Loving Texas takeover | Should we chill? Nov 24, 2020

Show notes

Since our esteemed guest last joined us, Ohio State secured commitments from the No. 1 Class of 2022 QB - Quinn Ewers - and the No. 1 WR - Caleb Burton - and both are from Texas.

Is that good?

Duane Long is here to put current recruiting exploits in perspective before going deep on what Ohio State needs to do so big leads don't evaporate so darn quickly.

Can Buckeyes' leaky D be fixed? Nov 23, 2020

Show notes

Ohio State is 4-0, ranked No. 3 in the country and is coming off a win of a top-10 team. Therefore, everyone in Buckeye Nation is of course ... complaining?

Yes, that's right. And you can add us to the list of spoiled brats because we wonder aloud on today's show what is wrong with the Buckeyes' defense this season and whether it can be fixed.

However, the good news is that Ohio State looks like an elite team -- especially an elite offense -- for large chunks of games. They also appear to have the Big Ten title on near lockdown.

The Buckeyes will travel to Illinois this Saturday, and Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle on today's show to talk about OSU's defense, how Kerry Coombs is doing as defensive coordinator, the upcoming matchup with the Fighting Illini and much more.
