Summary

Ohio State is No. 10 in the first College Football Playoff rankings of the 2018 season, which were released Tuesday evening.

Is there good reason for Buckeye fans to be optimistic their team will run the table and make the CFP? Or, especially with it being Halloween, are you a bit scared when you think about how this season might finish for the Buckeyes?

Steve Helwagen joins Dave Biddle on today's show to discuss that, plus dish out other treats such as:

* Other than Shaun Wade perhaps starting at safety over Isaiah Pryor, it does not appear as though Ohio State made any changes to its starting lineup during the off week. Is that a surprise? Who are some backups that perhaps should be given more of a chance on game days?

* What are thoughts about the Nebraska game this Saturday?

* What do we make of Urban Meyer's comments on Tuesday about his health? Do you feel better or worse about Meyer's future after hearing from the coach and his doctor?

All of that and more on the Halloween extravaganza.
