Ohio State enters the 2026-27 season ranked 8th in the Big Ten power rankings. Doug and Carly break down the ranking, the roster's strengths and question marks, and why a 20-win season is within reach. The Buckeyes are projected as a tournament team, but their ceiling depends on point guard play and defensive consistency.

In this episode, the hosts discuss the frontcourt's rim protection and the wing shooting that could make Ohio State a top-five Big Ten team. They also examine the ball-security issues and perimeter defense that could keep them on the bubble. Key topics include the JPMorganChase patch deal, the Big Ten Player of the Year race, and the team's realistic win projection.

With Michigan as the reigning champion and Purdue, Indiana, and Michigan State looming, the Big Ten is a gauntlet. But Doug's bold prediction of a sixth-place finish and 20 regular-season wins sets the stage for a potentially special year in Columbus.
