Summary
Ohio State's full schedule was released on Tuesday, complete with specific dates for each game. We already knew the teams the Buckeyes would play in 2026, so we were fully aware this was going to be a daunting slate. How daunting? Three teams that will begin the season likely ranked within the top-5 (at Indiana, at Texas, Oregon), two more that will be ranked within the top-15 (at USC, Michigan) and two more that will be ranked in the top-25 (at Iowa, Illinois). Whew, that's a doozy.
However, Buckeye fans should still be confident about their team's chances in the 2026 season, and Dave Biddle and Matt Baxendell explain why on today's show. We also get Steeler-fan-Bax's take on new OSU offensive coordinator Arthur Smith (we know Biddle likes the hire) and more. That is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.
