Kevin Noon of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss it all.

• The impact of losing both starting tackles to the NFL, Paris Johnson and Dawand Jones.

Monday's College Football Playoff Championship Game was a tough one for Ohio State fans to watch, playing the what-if game. What-if the Buckeyes would have only held on to beat Georgia? What-if the Buckeyes would have not waited until the Michigan game to play their worst football? What if a play here or there would have just gone differently?
We look back on a difficult year for the nation's No. 4 team, a year that woulda, coulda, shoulda ended with a National Championship. Here on the Big Me Kickoff.

In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tom Orr and Tony Gerdeman give their thoughts on Georgia's 65-7 win over TCU in the College Football Playoff championship game. Who should feel worse about the game -- Ohio State or Michigan? Is Stetson Bennett overrated? Would the game have been any different if the quarterbacks had switched teams? The fellas then discuss the beginning of classes for Ohio State and the 11 early enrollees for the Buckeyes next year. Who are the most likely top draft picks for the upcoming Black Stripe Draft? Will any of the 11 end up in the two-deep next year? Tony and Tom discuss all of this and more.

For the third season in a row, Ohio State's defense was the biggest obstacle standing between the Buckeyes and a national championship.

So are more major staff changes needed, or is continuity going to be key for the OSU defense heading into 2023?

So what will this mean for Ohio State moving forward? Tony Gerdeman of BuckeyeHuddle.com joins host Tom Orr to discuss that and more.

• How long will Key be out?
• Why did Maryland's full-court press give the Buckeyes so much trouble?
• What will it all mean with a stretch of challenging but winnable games coming up?
