The The Good morning, bucknoters. Welcome to the bucknuts, five here on Friday, November 8th, I am Dave Biddle. Very happy to be joined by Jonah Booker for his usual

Friday visit. J-book you and I have not spoken since the college football

playoff rankings were released on Tuesday. Just your reaction when you saw the Buckeyes

were number one, Penn State number four, just anything you want to say about the CFP rankings, sir.

Yeah, I was a little surprised that they had Ohio State at number one. I thought they were going to put LSU in that spot.

My projection was I thought Ohio State was going to be at the number two spot, clearly the the playoff committee they really like

regardless of what happens if Ohio State could about a hundred and nothing against

Maryland and whoever wins that game between LSU and Alabama

could be by a fuel goal. I think LSU Alabama winner is going to jump Ohio State

but I think it's irrelevant and here's why Jaybook if you disagree with me here. I feel like if Ohio State

then beats Penn State two weeks from now, then Ohio State will jump LSU and

or Alabama, whoever wins that game. So I feel like if Ohio State wins out, they're going to be
