| 0:49.4 | We are without our buddy Damien on today's spot. |
| 0:51.2 | He's in transit, but there were no buddies on rivalry weekend. We had flags. Tridents planted by rivalry winners like Michigan will break down |
| 0:58.0 | the game. The brawl, what it means for Ryan Day and the Buckeyes playoff seating. Miami |
| 1:02.4 | crumbled. Clemson fell into the ACC Championship despite losing. Will the conference |

| 2:07.9 | It's everything. You lose the game. Okay, now you fall out of the Big Ten title race. You can't compete for that. You have the brawl on the field after, and you're sort of, there's a viral |
