Summary

Many people expected Ohio State would move up in the College Football Playoff rankings this week, but that did not happen.

The Buckeyes remain No. 10 in the CFP rankings, and not only need to win out to make the four-team field, they likely need some help from the outside. And the Buckeyes also need to pass the eye test down the stretch. You know, actually look the part of a playoff squad.

Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss that, plus:

* What is the biggest concern for the Buckeyes in terms of facing Michigan State this Saturday in East Lansing? Can OSU run the ball effectively against the Spartans' defense?

* Ohio State will tip off its basketball season tonight at Cincinnati. What a cool way to start the season. What can be expected from Chris Holtmann's team?

All of that and more on the midweek extravaganza.

1:09.2	Two weeks ago they go and get blown out by Purdue, three weeks ago I guess guess now and then they come home after a
1:13.9	buy week and still don't look impressive. You can say what you want about the
1:18.1	running game coming back but the packing game didn't look as good because of that
1:22.0	because they called more specifically designed
