Summary

Ryan Day enters his seventh season as Ohio State's head coach. That's seven rosters, all of which has reasonable championship aspirations even if the 2024 group is the only one to get over the hump. But which roster is actually the best? If we could put all seven versions of Ryan Day Buckeyes in the same field, which one would actually come out on top? On this episode of Buckeye Talk, Stephen Means and Stefan Krajisnik explore that topic by ranking all seven with the help of our Subtext subscribers.

You'll hear him again Monday when we do our rewatch of the 2009, Ohio State, Texas game. I hope you enjoyed that 2006 rewatch yesterday's pot. I think haven't recorded yet. That was going to be really, really fun because there's like, I've already started rewatching it a little bit,

1:01.8

and there are some things in there where it just feels like the other three games, all combined in the one game. But we'll get into that in about two weeks here when we head
