Hey, hey, where you've been?

Bucket talk is about to begin.

Hey, hey, hey, come on in.

Welcome back to another episode of Buckeye Talk live on YouTube.

I'm Stephen Means.

That's Stefan Kriznick, and that is Andrew Gillis, and we are all coming to you from our hotel rooms in Dallas, because Ohio State will play Miami in the Cotton Bowl in a couple of days here. Get the text, 64-350-0-3315. This is going to be our last live show for at least a week and a half. I guess we'll see what happens, right,

over the next couple of weeks that they've got to get through Miami and then we'll see how some things go here. But Brennan is with us through the playoff and then we're going to try to fight for more time after that. That's how we're doing this. Every week is a fight to keep producer Brennan along with us because these graphics, as you can see here, are amazing. He does a lot of other stuff to this is the thing you guys see weekly on the live show if you go follow us on all the

social media platforms as you can see here are amazing. He does a lot of other stock, too. This is the thing you guys see weekly on the live show.

If you go follow us on all the social media platforms he made for us, you'll see the other things he does for us.

We're ranking the eight quarterbacks left in the college football playoff.

That is Georgia's Gunnar Stockton.

That is Fernando Mendoza from Indiana.

That is Ohio State's Julian San. That is Texas, Texan, Baron Morton. That is Miami's Carson Beck. That is Oregon's

Dante Moore. That is Ole Misses Trinidad Chamblis and Alabama's Ty Simpson. But before we get

into ranking those eight quarterbacks left in the bracket, I didn't want to talk about the four guys who have since been eliminated from the bracket, maybe talk about them and where we had them amongst each other. We all put those on one graphic. And Stefan, I guess I'll start with you. We all have Marcel Reed at number one. Was that like the easiest one of the four to do for you? Yeah, I think so. When you look at the way he played this season and, you know, there were spurts where it seemed like he was maybe even part of the Heisman conversation. I shouldn't even say spurs. I mean, it was into November that he was still part of the Heisman conversation to some extent. it looked like he might be a guy who goes to New York. So yeah, I think that was probably the

easiest of these four. And I would be a guy who goes to New York. So yeah, I think that was probably

the easiest of these four. And I would be curious if we were to rank the top nine quarterbacks in the playoff, right? I think it would be the eight that we have plus Marcel Reed. And I wonder if he would maybe be even higher. I'd argue it probably would be, you know, higher. Maybe a top five, top six quarterback of the top nine, top ten in the college football playoff this year. So, yeah,

I'm a fan of them. would be, you know, higher, maybe a top five, top six quarterback of the, you know, top nine,

top ten in the college football playoff this year. So, yeah, I'm a fan of Marcel Reed. I don't know what his game translates to like in the NFL. I mean, there were highs and lows with him this season, but you look at the way he developed going into this year and what he can be moving forward. I'm a fan of Marcel Reed.

I'm sure he's going to be, because I think he has eligibility,

I'm sure he's going to be, because I think he has eligibility. I'm sure he's going to be
