Every Saturday during the college football season, the spirit of competition and excitement take the field as the nation's top student-athletes battle for gridiron glory.

From the blue-blooded programs to the rising stars, college football will always be the people's game.
Ohio State Football is one of the most successful college football programs in history. With a total of 9 National Championships, the Buckeyes have established themselves as a powerhouse in the NCAA. Led by head coach Ryan Day, Ohio State has become known for its hard-hitting, aggressive defense and a high-octane offensive attack.

| 0:00.0 | It is a hump day, Menace Army of week two of college football. |
| 0:06.3 | We have football that was played to discuss, football that is going to be played to discuss. |
| 0:11.9 | And I need my light over here turned on. |
| 0:13.7 | I forgot about that. |
| 0:15.0 | But, oh, there we go. |
| 0:17.5 | You can see my right side better. |
| 0:19.6 | That's my strong side. to venison sports we talk |
| 0:23.1 | college football every day with a different twist a little bit of insight from a former college |
| 0:26.6 | coach a lot of entertainment a lot of i don't know comedy mixed in with some real harsh |
| 0:33.2 | truce the only unfiltered and honest sports platform that i have seen there's some really |
| 0:39.6 | honest ones josh pate has one i wouldn't call him unfiltered he has a nice professional |
| 0:44.5 | filter about him which i have no problem with it actually probably why it shows better than ours |
| 0:48.2 | yeah a big reason bigger bigger bigger not better bigger go. But anyways, we got plenty to discuss. |
| 0:56.7 | I got a coacher's report coming. |
| 0:57.9 | It's going to be a little shorter. |
| 0:59.1 | You know, most of the time I try to do 20 minutes all five days. |
| 1:01.7 | Wednesday is my national perspective day, kind of the state of college football. |
| 1:06.1 | I have some stuff I want to discuss about SEC bias, some stuff I want to discuss about potential playoff contenders, but there's just not a lot of football. It's hard for me to talk about the landscape when you look at Bryce Underwood and Michigan looked incredible against the 134th most talented team in the country and Julian Sayan had to play Texas. It's hard to compare the two. I mean, both I would say check the boxes, which is all you would want week one. And there's several other ones. Georgia should be the number one team in the country because they beat Marshall after their whole team and coach left. Got it. Makes sense. The Marshall Exodus didn't get enough coverage this off season. No. And even like Heather Dinnich talking about Georgia should be number one. Like, yo, do you know that the whole Marshall team left and went to Southern Miss with Charles Huff? And then she also said LSU, but LSU least had a good win. Yeah, that was at my point yesterday. LSU, Miami, like they had good wins. Like they beat teams that at the very least are going to be good teams. Like we think Notre Dame and Clemson will be playoff caliber teams even if they're not they're good teams |
| 2:01.9 | no different than Texas Ohio State like probable playoff teams and a win over them should mean more |
| 2:07.5 | so I want to talk about the SEC biased in the sports media in ESPN and kind of talk about some |
| 2:13.1 | Big Ten outside hopefuls yeah Big Ten like you know shake and see what's going to happen. Because here we go. Every year in the Big 10, there is a surprise team that about week 5 comes around and they're hovering there between 3 and 5 in the Big 10 and their team looks good. Last year, it was Indiana. They hovered, they kept winning. They didn't get blown out in any of the major games. And look, lo and behold, ended up being a pretty decent team. I think it's safe to say. Every year there's one of those teams, we're going to get an extra data point this week because while Oklahoma versus Michigan is the main headliner game, I've got my eyes on Illinois Duke. So we're going to talk about who could be kind of that tier two that can maybe cross over for a moment in time in a tier one in the Big Ten because there's one every year. It's usually an outsider kind of looking in. Yeah. There's always the TCU, the one year. There's Arizona State and Indiana last year, man, and SMU. I mean, there's always a couple teams. You're like, okay, let's see how they do in the playoffs. |
| 3:08.7 | I mean, they earned it, but it'll be interesting to see how this plays out as the landscape gets a little clear week by week. And when you can have two losses, it's never fully clear till late in the year. It's never clear. You hold the fucking trophy up. Bro, even in the 14th playoffs, like it got pretty clear pretty quick, right? |
