Summary

We are in the midst of Ohio State's second and final off week of the season, so we thought it would be a good time to have some fun and give some crazy, hot takes on the Buckeyes. Ones that we believe are true! Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin delve into that, discuss whether only three Big Ten teams will make the College Football Playoff this season and much more.

0:00.0	The
0:07.0	The Good morning, Bucknotters, welcome to the Bucknott's morning 5 here on Wednesday, October 22nd, 2025.
0:32.9	I am Dave Biddle, very happy, joined by Dan Rubin.
0:36.0	We're going to have some fun on today's show.
0:37.9	Dan concocted an idea that I love. He's like, let's just do some hot takes, you know, some crazy things about the buck guys, but things that we actually think are true. Like, these aren't going to be things that are like, oh, yeah. You know, I'm not even going to like say anything ridiculous. But yeah, we're going to have some fun with that. I do want to start off Dan talking about a little bit more serious topic.

1:24.2	The other scenario I see where they could get four in. I almost glossed over this.
1:28.6	Illinois.
1:30.0	Illinois has a huge game at Washington this Saturday.
1:33.8	If Illinois wins that game, their next four games are against Rutgers at home, Maryland
1:39.5	at home, that might not be easy, at Wisconsin, and then Northwestern at home.
1:44.5	10 and 2, Illinois, in my opinion, despite losing by 53 points to Indiana, 10 and 2 Illinois
1:49.9	would make the CFP, in my opinion, the number of three losses would be Ohio State in Indiana.
