Jim Knowles leaving Ohio State for the same DC position at Penn State is the most surprising move so far this offseason. Here are four possible reasons why he would leave after just winning a National Championship with Ohio State:
- Money, he's become the highest paid DC in College Football
- Returning Home, he was born in Philadelphia
- New Opportunity, winning the natty might have been a natural reset?
- Coaching Drama, beef with Larry Johnson
Maybe it's was a combination of all four factors?

Did Ohio State just have the best 4 game run in College Football history? It sure seems like it. Two blowouts, a hard fought win vs Texas and a National Championship later, the Buckeyes find themselves back at the top of the CFB mountain.
Ryan Day deserved all the criticism when they lost to Michigan less than two months ago....but now deserves all the credit and praise for turning this season around. Truly a remarkable turnaround for Ryan Day, his staff and the players.

It all comes down to this! This is a National Championship game preview episode from the perspective of an Ohio State fan.
Notre Dame wants to run the football and has the best man coverage defense in the country! Ohio State has the most talented roster in the sport, and might have the best overall defense in college football.
Two classic northern teams playing for the third time in three years. But this time, everything is on the line. Who do you have winning this game?

The Buckeyes find themselves back in the National Championship game after closing out the 4 quarter against Texas. Despite a bad performance by the offensive line, a poorly timed Will Howard interception and minimal production from Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State leaned on their other stars to carry them to victory.

The Fighting Irish move on to the National Championship Game after defeating Penn State 27-24. Marcus Freeman deserves A TON of credit here. He got his guys right after halftime and what we saw was 24 second half points (17 in the 4th quarter), a turnover and the game winning kick!
As for Penn State....this is the most "James Franklin" loss ever. Beating SMU, beating Boise State, then losing yet another close, talent equated game, that has to be brutal for Penn State fans.

Notre Dame has the slight edge here
I think they'll find some success running the football, but more importantly have a defense that is flying around the football.
Penn State will rely on their talented RB duo, but will also heavily target their star TE Tyler Warren. Imagine Xavier Watts and that ND defense covering him. That's one of the biggest matchups in this game.
Marcus Freeman had a great call on that late punt in the Georgia game, where I think he out coached Kirby Smart. He might do the same here with James Franklin. And Penn State only had SMU and Boise State to get them ready for this game.

This game is all about matchups, and the matchups favor the Buckeyes.
Sure, Texas has a great secondary and front four, but Ohio State has the best receivers in the country and OSU's offensive line have gone up against many other talented fronts before (Michigan, Penn State, Tennessee, Oregon x2). Also, Jeremiah Smith is unstoppable.
On the other side of the ball, Ohio State's defense is peaking at the right time. Quinn Ewers and that offensive line will not find much success against Caleb Downs and the Buckeye edge duo of JT and Jack Sawyer.

Ohio State is back to being the hottest team in College Football after a dominant Rose Bowl win over Oregon. The Buckeyes went up 34-0 in the 2nd quarter and never looked back. They will now travel to the Cotton Bowl in Dallas to play Texas in the semifinals and if this OSU team continues to play like this....then no one can beat them.

After giving us a thriller in Eugene earlier this the year, Ohio State and Oregon go at it again in the quarterfinals of the College Football Playoff. Two of the most talented teams in the country (maybe the two best teams in the country) will play in the Rose Bowl. This feels like a National Championship!
Here I give my thoughts on the game from an Ohio State fan perspective. What I feel good about, bad about and how this is probably going to be the "Game of the Year" Part 2.

Penn State took care of business against SMU and moves on to Boise State in the quarterfinals.
James Franklin notched his 100th win at Penn State and also his first CFP win. Penn State has their offense rolling and has a good run defense which will present quite the challenge for Boise State star RB Ashton Jeanty.

I'm so glad I was wrong about this game, Ryan Day and the coaching staff had his players ready to play.
This was a perfect start and damn near perfect second half. This was also the best game of the season for the Buckeyes, showing everyone how dangerous they can be if they continue to play at their full potential.

This game went about as expected....
Thoughts:
- Norte Dame's defense is filled with NFL guys and looks really good
- ND's offense is running the ball well - also Leonard's deep ball??!?
- Indiana had a great year, they reached their ceiling!
- ND moves on to play Georgia in the Sugar Bowl....do I like ND here?

This is not even a breakdown but really just some chatter and thoughts about the Ohio State vs Tennessee game....from an Ohio State fans perspective.
Concerns for Ohio State - offensive line, game prep, special teams, coaching staff, corners + more
On the other side - can Nico win them the game if they need him to? Does Tennessee have the fire power to score on Ohio State's defense?

Ryan Day and his staff let down the Ohio State Buckeyes in the loss to Michigan. In what might be the most embarrassing loss for Ohio State in the history of this rivalry - the defense did enough but the offense failed.
Throw in two Will Howard interceptions and two missed field goals, Michigan was able to take advantage and have now won four straight in this series.
There's only one thing Ryan can do possible save his job at Ohio State and that's win the National Championship this year. He's on the hot seat, and might be in danger of losing his job.

With only one regular season week left in the 2024 regular season, Week 13 further clarified the picture of contenders and pretenders.
The SEC is crumbling - Alabama, Ole Miss and Texas A&M all lost. They each have three losses and seasons are on life support. Georgia beat UMASS even though it wasn't pretty, but are the Bulldogs the best two loss team in the country?
The Big 10 is showcasing its dominance. Oregon had a bye, but Ohio State notched it's second Top 5 win of the season over Indiana. Those are clearly the best two teams in the country. I'm guessing Indiana probably still makes the playoff and Penn State SURVIVED on the road against Minnesota.
The ACC is clearing up with SMU solidifying their spot in that conference championship game. Now Miami and Syracuse play next week to determine the other team in that game.
The Big 12 is A MESS! Colorado lost, BYU lost....
There are FIVE teams 5-3 in conference play, and FOUR teams 6-2 in conference play. And how about ASU beating BYU to become 9-2 on the season!

Indiana cracks the Top 5 after reaching 10-0 for the FIRST TIME in school history! BYU somehow finds a way to remain undefeated. The SEC is a mess - Tennessee and Texas find themselves at the top of the standings while Alabama, Georgia and Ole Miss each find themselves with two losses. Alabama and Ole Miss both notched huge wins over the weekend and are trending upward. Notre Dame has fought their way back into the picture with some consistent play and Penn State & Ohio State find themselves comfortably ranked.

Summer is going quick, and I'm taking a break from the podcast until the season starts. I want to continue focusing efforts on producing off season content on our social media pages (TikTok, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube). New content will continue to be posted on there throughout the rest of summer.
Thanks for following show! The podcast will be back up and running again at the end of August.
Lincoln Riley is one of the best offensive coaches in College Football. His defenses have never been up to par, being one of the main reasons why he has three College Football Playoff semifinal appearances with Oklahoma, and three College Football Playoff semifinal losses.
Is this the year that Lincoln Riley and USC each get their fist CFP semifinal win? They return the Heisman Trophy winning QB Caleb Williams and elect to bring back DC Alex Grinch...which I think is a bad move that can hurt them again down the stretch.
Can Notre Dame, Utah, Washington or Oregon provide USC with a regular season loss?

Georgia is looking to make history being the first college football program to three-peat in the modern era, and are on the verge of a dynasty. Minnesota was the last program to three-peat in the 1930s (if not Army in the 40s).
Does Georgia go 12-0? Or can South Carolina, Ole Miss or Tennessee hand Georgia their first regular season loss since the 2020 season?

The word "dynasty" get's thrown around a lot, especially after Georgia won back-to-back National Championships and looks to three-peat this upcoming season.
But outside of Alabama since 2009, what other dynasties have we seen recently in College Football?
The North Dakota State Bison in the past 12 seasons, have won 9 national championships at the Division 1 FCS Level. They've also had a 39 game win streak!
Since 2011, the Bison's' overall record is insane at 149-12. That's a 93% win percentage. Listen to this weeks episode to learn more about one of College Football's most dominant dynasties.

A two win season in 2020, a salary slash, staff overhaul, culture rehaul, philosophy shift and a renewed focus on Ohio State - shifted Michigan's trajectory from and underperforming program to back to back Big 10 Champs.
When Michigan hired Jim Harbaugh to run their football program for the 2015 season, there were high expectations.
Bring Michigan back the national picture. Beat Ohio State, win the Big 10 and compete for National Championships
After 5 seasons, the Wolverines hadn't done any of that. Harbaugh failed to beat Ohio State, failed to best Urban Meyer. In 2018 and 2019 (Harbaugh's 4th and 5th seasons), Michigan was blown off the field by the Buckeyes.
The 2020 season was strange with COVID, and it didn't do Michigan any favors at first. They finished the year 2-4, but this could have saved Harbaugh's job and future with Michigan.

That's a wrap for the 2022 College Football Season - The Georgia Bulldogs are your National Champs!
Some thoughts on the 2023 National Championship Game as TCU and Georgia battle it out.
- TCU is a big underdog - and winning will mean so much more in addition to being the champs
- Georgia has a massive talent advantage over TCU. Two things can be true:
- A lack of top-to-top, elite level 5 star talent hasn't stopped TCU from pushing it this far
- TCU also haven't played a team with the level of talent of Georgia
Quick postgame thoughts on both semifinal games
- Fiesta Bowl - TCU defeats Michigan
- Peach Bowl - Georgia defeats Ohio State
