With just three games remaining in the regular season, it is crunch time for the Buckeyes. Will they run the table, win the Big Ten championship and enter the playoffs 13-0? Dan Rubin and Dave Biddle discuss that on today's show, plus:

* They look back on OSU's win at Rutgers on Saturday and look ahead to this week's game against Michigan State.

* Why are a lot of Michigan supporters crowing about "due process"? Do they think this is a court of law? What punishment, if any, will be doled out to the Wolverines during the 2023 season? Or might nothing happen until after the season?

All that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.

Buckeyes earn No. 1 ranking in CFP | Missing Miyan Nov 01, 2023

Show notes

Ohio State earned the No. 1 spot in the first College Football Playoff rankings of the 2023 season on Tuesday. Is this just a fun thing for fans, or does it actually mean something that the Buckeyes received top billing?

Also, it is football and injuries are going to happen. But the ailments are starting to pile up for Ohio State. Head coach Ryan Day revealed on Tuesday that running back Miyan Williams will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury. Also, Day did not appear to be confident that safety Lathan Ransom would be available anytime soon following a leg injury he suffered against Wisconsin last week.

Furthermore, quarterback Kyle McCord continues to deal with an ankle ailment that he appeared to re-injure against the Badgers.

The news is not all bad though on the injury front. Wide receiver Emeka Egbuka is expected to play this Saturday at Rutgers after missing the last three games. Also, backup quarterback Devin Brown – who is dealing with a high ankle sprain – was expected to return to practice on Tuesday (in limited fashion).

On today’s show, Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle to discuss the Buckeyes being ranked No. 1 by the CFP committee, the latest on OSU’s injuries and much more.

That is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.
