Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning

Day two of Big Ten Media Days was full of interesting news and insights on how teams plan to capitalize on the new coaching rules, why the new helmet radios might not solve the issue they were designed for, a legendary college football rivalry that could soon become a casualty of conference realignment, and much more. 

But one of the most interesting conversations of the day was with College Football Playoff Executive Director Rich Clark, and centered on some of the specifics of the new CFP structure, and how it could impact teams like Ohio State. 

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss all of that and much more on this episode of Buckeyes TomOrrow Morning.

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day went one-on-one with Buckeye Huddle's Tom Orr to discuss a wide variety of topics including:

• Whether freshman WR Jeremiah Smith is likely to be a day-one starter
• Which true freshmen are likely to play enough to burn their redshirts this year
• How the summer enrollees are getting acclimated and who has been impressive so far
• How they are planning on capitalizing on the new rule loosening coaching restrictions
• The challenge of having to prepare for and play teams two or even three times in a year
• How the transition to the new helmet technology has gone and how it could speed things up on the field
• The impact of the two-minute warning
• Going through the recruiting process on the other side of things with his son, RJ, and what he's learned from that

The 2024 College Football Playoff will bring together triple the number of teams as any previous postseason at the FBS level, and with power now concentrated so strongly in the SEC and Big Ten, is it inevitable that teams from those leagues will play rematches in the postseason?

Kevin Noon of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to break down the 12-team field as projected by Pick Six Previews, discuss the matchups, and the possibility that both national semifinals could be made up of teams facing off for the third time that season.

Florida State and Clemson are hard at work in the courtroom trying to get out of their contracts with the ACC. If they do, both would reportedly love to join the Big Ten. But is that feeling mutual?

According to a report from Brett McMurphy of the Action Network on Tuesday, it might not be.

The 2024 Ohio State football team has one of the most talent-laden rosters in program history, and the release of the top-100 player ratings for the new EA Sports College Football video game seems to agree.

The Buckeyes have eight of the top-100 players in the game, and there is a lot to learn from those numbers. 

Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss some of the more interesting ratings including:

• The two highest-rated Buckeyes have never played a snap for Ohio State. 
• One elite defensive end is in the top-100 and the other isn't. 
• Two Buckeye running backs rate higher than Michigan RB Donovan Edwards, who appears on the game's cover.
• And more.
