Bucknuts Morning 5: An Ohio State athletics podcast

Ohio State landed in what appears to be a very favorable No. 6 spot in the College Football Playoff rankings, which were released Tuesday night. The Buckeyes will likely drop a spot or two in the final rankings, but they appear to be a lock to host a first-round playoff game. Also, is this the weirdest signing day ever? College football managed to shoehorn in a signing day on Dec. 4, which is one of the strangest decisions we can remember. We'll keep saying this until we're blue in the face: the early signing period should be the final week of July, right before training camp begins. The good news is this means the media will get a chance to speak with OSU head coach Ryan Day today. It is the signing day press conference, but of course many questions will be asked about the Buckeyes' offensive and special teams debacle in their loss to Michigan last Saturday. Dave Biddle and Steve Helwagen delve into all of that and more on the Wednesday 5ish.

After one of the worst losses in recent memory, where does Ohio State go from here? Can the Buckeyes pick themselves up and get focused for a playoff run? Or did losing at home to 20-point underdog Michigan take too much out of this team? What might the future hold for Ryan Day? Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin discuss that and much more on the Monday 5ish.

Ohio State was favored by three touchdowns over visiting Michigan, but the Wolverines dealt the Buckeyes an embarrassing 13-10 defeat. It felt like 1996 all over again.
