The

The Good morning, Bucknunders.

It is Monday, September 1st, 2025.

I am Dan Rubin.

This is the Bucknuts Morning 5 and Change on Labor Day, flying solo today.

This podcast covers the national champions, who should be number one again today after a brief

timeout. I wanted to do something for you today. I realize it's Labor Day, and hopefully

a lot of you are still basking or basking yet still,

depending how you want to address it and getting to spend the day doing something better than working or if you're at work.

Hopefully this helps your commute, helps your hang out, whatever.

But after an opening like that, really wanted to get this rolling.

You have any questions, comments, concerns.

Drop it in the chat here.

I'm going to go over my general comments, my thoughts on the team, the offense, the defense,

a little bit about Texas, and then what we're going to see going forward, and then we'll go as long as the people crave here.

First, it does look like Ohio State's going to be number one and at least one poll,

the AFCA coaches poll because they were ranked number two. Penn State was number two in the

other poll. So we shall see. It does also look like the Big Ten will have three of the top four

teams, Ohio State, Penn State, and Oregon.

I think George will be in there, too.

So let's start with the offense of what we saw, 14-7 win, seen a lot of coverage of it.

Just thought I'd share what I thought, nothing too revelatory.
