Talking about Ohio State's 42-41 loss to the Georgia Bulldogs and the Peach Bull and the College football playoffs on my final.

We are back in our hotel, it is 3.45 in the morning and we are starting this post game podcast and we're not sure how long we'll go and what we'll get into, but guess what?

We didn't have nine months to cover everything that we don't cover tonight.

I want to start here, Nathan.

This Ohio State team lost at home to Michigan, giving up big plays, two big runs late, offense inefficient, stalling in the second half.

I think I used to phrase the Michigan loss almost broke the Ohio State program and one of the stories I wrote and I think that goes for the program and the fan base.

And they get this second life and there was someone I was talking to at the Woody in December and like they said the only thing you can do is win, like that's it.

So they almost won. They almost won.

What did this night mean for the Ohio State football program and let's not go to the fans yet because I want to end with the fans and what are textures and our listeners are thinking.

But what do you think, how does this send Ohio State into the offseason compared to what maybe losing to Michigan and then going to the Rose Bowl and playing Utah again?

Might have done for this program. How do you view this night?

Fantastic question.

It's hard to answer on behalf of the entire program in some ways.

So maybe that's actually the best answer that you.

Is this the kind of loss where you say listen.

We're one point shy against what might be the best program and what is Georgia's best program called football right now and we're one point shy.

We had a feel goal of not give me give me feel goal to win it at the end.

We did almost you did almost everything you needed to do.
