Ohio State should dominate national title talk; plus, Paul Finebaum for Senate? Really? Rants Sep 30, 2025

Should the Ohio State Buckeyes be viewed in the national college football discourse as the prohibitive favorites to win the national championship this season? Doug Lesmerises thinks that if they were an SEC team they would be viewed that way, as Georgia has been in the past. That's one of Doug's rants. Then he checks in on how Michigan native Trinidad Chambliss wound up as the savior of an SEC program. And he discusses Paul Finebaum's claim he's considering a run for Senate.
