College football is a game of explosive plays, immense passion, and endless thrills. 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. The powerhouses in college football are teams like Alabama, LSU, Ohio State, Clemson, and Florida, all of whom compete in the fiercely contested NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision. Whether it's a hard-fought rivalry, chaotic scene in the stands, or an unbelievable touchdown grab, college football fans of all ages, backgrounds, and regions experience the same passion and intensity each week. 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. While their recent success has been rooted in their strong recruiting class and their 2014 national championship, the program has a long and storied history in the college football world. On any given Saturday, the OSU faithful can be found inside the famous Ohio Stadium cheering on the scarlet and gray. Regardless of the opponent, each game brings out the passion and excitement that Ohio State fans are so well known for. Follow the Buckeyes and join the Buckeye Nation in their quest to reach another championship. Go Bucks!

0:28.4	Just not enough to dive into, really. It's crambling. It's grambling. And it's, it's,
0:33.1	it's not a great weekend of college football. I mean, I'm super excited. Obviously, the Oklahoma Michigan matchup is massive. But other than that, there's just some games that I'm interested in watching. Florida, South Florida is one of them. I'm interested to see how that goes. How good is South Florida under Alex Golish? They played great in week one. Will they, could they possibly be an upset? There's a bunch of games. You know how these weeks go. There's only one good game. You're like, yeah, kind of shitty, shitty landscape this weekend. And this is the weekend. And you wake up Sunday like, damn, there was some upsets on Saturday. This is that time of year. I can't tell you which one's going to be a good game. I got USF, UF, UF, circled as a potential good game, and I'm going to watch it.

1:25.9	This weekend is for the real sickos, and if you watch this cultural ball program, you're probably like a college football sicko because these are the weeks where you get some of the weird deep cut games. These are the weeks where you want to see each and every one of your teams improves. And this is the week that coming out of it, you either get crazy lies told about you or you fire your coach for losing the game. He shouldn't have. Like this, this is to me an exciting week. And it's funny because really I think that week one, a week two just got flipped. Like this feels like a week one. Yeah, definitely more than last week. Like last week, honestly, a week third, week four. Yeah, it was a banger weekend last weekend. And this is the weekend where you get a Marshall upsets Notre Dame or something crazy happens. So I'm here for the chaos. I'm going to enjoy every minute of it. Me too. But how's your week, Chris? Really good. Really good. I'm really happy.
