Hey, hey, hey, come on in.

Welcome back to another live edition of Buckeye Talk.

I'm Stephen Means.

That's Tafon Christiak, and that is Andrew Gillis. And you can't see him, but producer Brennan is also with us, helping us be better at our jobs every single day, because if not, then we'll be worse at our jobs. There's another live show this week, as we do every single week. We do big picture stuff on the live show. This show is also on your feeds on Thursday mornings if you can't get it. But try to join us every week.

We have a good time here.

This week, we are discussing Ohio State's 24 national championship roster and comparing it to this

2025 roster. And it's the basis of it is everybody's been asking this question, but Jeremiah

Smith went on a CBS interview after Ohio

States 34 to nothing win over Wisconsin. And he said that he thinks this team is better than last

year's team. And so what we're going to try to do here is you can maybe hear my cat in the

background yelling because she knows I'm working now. We're going to compare them. We're going to

break it down. There's going to be over, you know, big picture stuff. There's going to be position by position breaks down. We're going to look at everything we can possibly look at to come to a conclusion of which team we think is actually the better football team. We even got our texers involved. 614-350. It's a two-week free trial, 399. After that, there was a survey going

around. It was pretty tedious, but it's literally this or that the entire time. This or that.

This or that. And most of them, I think, are pretty slant at one way or the other. But there's

one result to a question that I thought

was objectively hilarious. And I almost am like, all right, would y'all have thought this

two weeks ago? Would y'all have thought this six months ago? And so we'll get to that in a little

bit. But I do want to start with Ohio said obviously last year, 14 and two wins a national

championship through seven games. They were six and one through seven games. And also Ohio State this year is two seven games is seven and up. Here's the starting lineups. And I probably should have sent all this stuff to producer Brennan. But listen, we're learning along the way. So I'm not just reading off names. But we'll start on the offensive side of the ball. And here are the starting 22s for both of these teams through seven games.
