Summary

On this Monday Buckeye Talk, Doug Lesmerises and Nathan Baird are thinking all about Ohio State vs. Michigan -- and maybe a little bit about Thanksgiving food. First, they offer an appreciation (4:30) for both the Buckeyes and Wolverines getting through the regular season undefeated so far to make this matchup happen. Then (9:20), they talk about the polls, where the Buckeyes have always been clearly ahead of the Wolverines. Then (14:03), it's back to the idea of both Ohio State and Michigan making the College Football Playoff, which is more real after Tennessee's loss. Then (26:36) the five best teams in the Big Ten are compared to the five best teams in the other major conferences to spark a discussion about quality depth and what's good and bad about it. Ryan Day's thoughts on Ohio State and Michigan maybe playing back-to-back games someday (41:56) are discussed, before a brief discussion about Iowa (50:28) taking control of the race in the Big Ten West. Finally, (52:54), it's Whatcha Thinkin', Eatin' and Watchin', where Doug has a theory about this more national version of The Game, and Thanksgiving plans are shared.

1:40.2	If you care about Ohio State football or you care about Michigan football, it's Ohio State

1:56.2	Sometimes we don't cover the football in a week that much. If we don't think the opponent

2:08.2	hardcore. We're not going to spend an hour on a pod breaking down stuff. There have been times
2:14.2	in my career covering Ohio State mission where the football is not that interesting and the football
