Summary

On this Thursday episode of Buckeye Talk, Doug Lesmerises wants to know -- Have you ever ridden a horse? But mostly Doug takes a long look at the 2014 Heisman Trophy race and what would have happened for Ezekiel Elliott if the voting was after the playoff, which it what Doug thinks should happen when the playoff moves to 12 teams in 2024. Would Elliott have won the 2014 Heisman if it was a postseason award, instead of voted on in December? As it happened, Elliott didn't even finish in the top 10. This episode is playing off the latest College Football Survivor Show, where Doug and and Shehan Jeyarajah debated this strenuously in a larger, general context.

Hey, hey, where you been, but got talk is about to begin, hey, hey, hey, hey, come on in.

0:25.7

Welcome back to your Thursday book. I talk Doug Lamarie's with the Burr and my

0:29.3

Saddle book I talk. This is probably not going to be quite as long as just me. It's

0:34.8

just something that I'm riled up about and I would like to see changed in college

0:40.1

football. And as I think they should move the Heisman trophy voting until after the

0:43.1

end of the entire season, when we go to the 12 team playoff in the 2024 season. So

0:47.5

we'd have one more year of this. And my co-host Shahon J. Harajan, I did a whole

0:52.5

hour plus on this on the college football survivor show this week. I'm not trying to

0:57.2

make you go listen to that. But if you'd want to, the full-throated debate is there. I

1:03.1

have five and a half reasons why it should move. We talked about how it would have affected

1:07.4

the Heisman Balloting this year. We went back and looked it in the nine year history of

1:12.1

the playoff. How many Heisman winners might have changed if it was postseason balloting

1:15.9

instead of balloting that takes place after conference championship weekend. And it's

1:21.0

the madness that Shahon has ever been at me. And he got the full Doug, which you guys

1:28.1

usually get. Stephen and Nathan get you guys get here a buck I talk on that show. I'm,

1:33.5

you know, Shahon has like a huge depth of knowledge of national college football. And

1:37.8

so I respect his opinion on a lot of stuff that he just knows more than I do. And so I

1:43.2

don't dig in and scream as much as I do when it's Ohio State. And I've been doing this

1:48.1

for almost two decades. And I feel like I have a really good handle on stuff. So he was

1:53.0

a bit taken aback by my jerkiness about how I presented my argument. And I was talking

2:00.6

to my wife about this as we went to Chili's on Wednesday night because I want you guys

2:05.2

to know that I I walk it. I don't just talk it. I do go to Chili's in real life. I go
