Summary

Snow is falling in Ohio. Will the Buckeyes fall in the College Football Playoff ranking released later Tuesday? Hopefully not. Ohio State was ranked No. 4 a week ago. Dropping one spot means the Buckeyes are left out in the cold.

Duane Long is here to talk CFP vibes, Ohio State's tenuous meeting with Michigan State (and the Fighting Khakis, for that matter) before delving deep on two top prospects with interest in Columbus.

Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!
