This week on Saturday Cadence, Blake Biscardi is coming to you live from New York City, where he covered the 2025 Heisman Trophy ceremony on the ground for The Silver Bulletin and Saturday Cadence.

In this episode, Biscardi is interviewed by Stephen Leonard from Buckeye Backers — originally published on their platform. Blake takes you inside Heisman Weekend from media day conversations to the moments that don’t make the broadcast with a special focus on Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin and what his Heisman journey reveals about culture, leadership, and excellence.

You’ll hear firsthand insight from his conversations with Sayin as he reflects on what it means to be a Buckeye, the role Ohio State’s culture has played in his rise, and why team success still outweighs individual accolades. Blake will also break down the Heisman results, examine how narratives shape award voting, and discuss what this experience means for Ohio State as the Buckeyes prepare for the College Football Playoff.

Championship Weekend has arrived, and the College Football Playoff race is tighter than ever. In this episode, Blake Biscardi, David Wertheim, and Grant Kincaid break down all four major conference title matchups and predict who will rise, who will fall, and who will punch their ticket to the CFP.

We start in the Big Ten, where Ohio State looks to cap its dominant season against an Indiana team playing fearless football. Then it’s off to the ACC for Virginia vs. Duke, a clash of styles with major New Year’s Six implications. The Big 12 brings the chaos as Texas Tech and BYU meet in a high-variance, must-watch showdown. And in the SEC, Georgia and Alabama renew their heavyweight rivalry in a game that could reshape the entire postseason.

We close with a full breakdown of the Playoff bubble—Alabama, Notre Dame, BYU, Miami, Vanderbilt, and Texas—detailing each team’s path, odds, and what results they need to survive Championship Saturday.

Rivalry Week delivered one of the wildest and most consequential weekends of the entire college football season and we’re breaking down everything that just happened.

Ohio State marched into snowy Ann Arbor and snapped the streak, dominating Michigan 27-9 behind Julian Sayin, Bo Jackson, and a suffocating Buckeye defense that held the Wolverines without a touchdown. Blake Biscardi reacts to the biggest Ohio State win since 2019, what it means for Ryan Day, and how it shifts the Big Ten and Playoff picture moving forward.

But that was only the beginning. We react to the seismic news of Lane Kiffin accepting the LSU job, sending shockwaves across the SEC and launching Ole Miss into a fast-moving coaching search that lasted minutes as Pete Golding was promoted and elevated.
