Ohio State closed out the home portion of its 2023 schedule with a 37-3 win over Minnesota and we spent almost no time talking about it.

The word 'Minnesota' was sad 10 times on this postgame episode of Buckeye Talk as Stephen Means, Nathan Baird and Andrew Gillis elected instead to start talking about Michigan and the most important game on the schedule.

How big of a deal is it that OSU could be close to full strength heading into Ann Arbor?

Is Ohio State peaking at the right time while the Wolverines may be trending in the wrong direction?

Which quarterback would you rather have: J.J. McCarthy or Kyle McCord?

These are the things the trio used a postgame pod to discuss to jumpstart a week filled with plenty of talking points surrounding the 2023 edition of The Game.

Thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk.
