We are a little bit more than 24 hours out from Ohio State's CFP Championship Game with Notre Dame and with a lull in the activities of the day, why not jump online and talk some Buckeyes vs Fighting Irish,. We are going LIVE in the next couple of minutes.

We have made it to Atlanta, home of the National Championship Game for Ohio State and Notre Dame. The team will be following us up in a couple of hours but we wanted a chance to answer your questions prior to all of that with a LIVE edition of the Big Me Kickoff. Join your host, Kevin Noon, with all the latest from media headquarters as we get you ready for a busy couple of days leading up to the 2025 CFP Championship.

We were at the Rose Bowl media day earlier today and had a chance to talk to both teams. What did we hear, what do we still want to know and your questions, all on this edition of the Bg Me Kickoff, about 48 hours out from the Rose Bowl.

Let's take a final look at the dominating win for the Buckeyes of the Vols of Tennessee and start the conversation about a rematch with the Ducks of Oregon. There is so much to talk about and so little time to get to it in advance of the Rose Bowl. Join us for this LIVE edition of the Big Me Kickoff.

We wrap up game week with our final live show of the week. I make my final call, give you my thoughts and listen to your thoughts as we are a little more than 24 hours away from Ohio State's big game against the Vols. Plus, let's talk the other three CFP first round match-ups. And of course, your questions.

We are getting closer and closer to Ohio State's first ever home playoff game against the Vols and fans are getting excited and nervous all at the same time. What to make of this game? We have really done our best to chew through a lot of numbers but we look at a few more in this edition of the Big Me Kickoff to really paint a complete picture.

We are getting closer to the big game between the Buckeyes and Vols and each team has plenty of reasons of why they should or could be the team to win the game. And while it is fine to look at the game in a vacuum, it is not played in one (even one that Connor Stalions repaired for you), it is played on the field against another team. So let's go to the Tale of the Tape and look at how things match-up.

Our show today is based on our weekly feature of the Tale of the Tape looking at Ohio State's upcoming opponent and with any luck, it won't be our last of this current season.

We continue talking about the upcoming game with Tennessee and what the Buckeyes must to do win the game. This show is in conjunction with a pair of stories I recently wrote, five on offense and five on defense. My reading the whole story on this show is boring, so I talk about three on each side of the ball and if you want to read the full stories, the links are below.

Bowl season is here and while we have already had a pair of bowl games take place, things start to ramp up on Tuesday. That doesn't change the fact that Ohio State fans have their attention set to what will happen on Saturday in the first round of the College Football Playoff. Tennessee is going to be a tough out and we had a chance to talk to Ryan Day, Chip Kelly and three players on Monday. We quickly go over what we learned as well as talking more about the Vols and a whole lot more on this edition of the Big Me Kickoff.

Big Me Kickoff is back after an extended pause and with Ohio State's first-round CFP game rapidly approaching I have had time to really start looking into the Tennessee Volunteers and have my thoughts on what the Buckeyes will be facing. Join me at 11am (ET) for all of that and your questions on a LIVE edition of the BMK.
