The Buckeye Weekly Podcast

The College Football Playoff committee revealed their third rankings of the season on Tuesday and Tom Orr, Tony Gerdeman, and Kevin Noon streamed their reactions live during ESPN's reveal.

They discuss what they saw, what the committee got right, what they got wrong, what it means for Ohio State, and much, much more. They also answer a ton of questions and share what committee chairman Gary Barta said on a media-only teleconference after the big reveal.

Michigan went into Happy Valley on Saturday and came out with a 21-17 win.

The Wolverines sacked quarterback Sean Clifford seven times and chased him around more than that.

And yet Michigan still trailed in the fourth quarter.

With The Game looming in just over a week, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr share their thoughts on how the Wolverines looked on Saturday and whether or not it would have been good enough to beat the Buckeyes.

In this special Monday edition of the Big Me Kickoff, the Purdue Boilermakers came to town with sights set on spoiling the Buckeye season but the Buckeyes spoiled those plans in a hurry with a 28-point win. What went into Ohio State’s plan to spoil the spoilers?

Next up is Michigan State and we have seen plenty of SpartyNo moments through the years but Michigan State has also ruined an Ohio State season or two through the years, we make some opening comments on the upcoming opponent.

And we are spouting off on the CFP rankings here on the day before the next update drops. What can we expect, if anything, from the next poll?

All of that and more on the Big Me Kickoff. Let’s get to it.

There was some significant movement in the Top 10 this weekend as Oklahoma lost and Michigan held on at Penn State. But there were also some impressive performances by teams like Ohio State, Georgia, and Alabama.

The playoff committee has been waiting to see if Oregon or Ohio State would distance themselves from each other and on Saturday that may have finally happened. Did the Buckeyes do enough to move past the Ducks for good?

Tom Orr and Tony Gerdeman discuss the weekend that was in this edition of the Buckeye Weekly Podcast. They spend some time talking about each conference and the playoff hopes that still remain. They also discuss the Kansas win at Texas, where no hopes remain.

Following Ohio State's 59-31 win over Purdue on Saturday, Buckeye Weekly's Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr were joined by Kevin Noon for a live stream of their instant reactions of what they just saw.

They discuss the defense, answer about a hundred questions from the hundreds of viewers, discuss the Ohio State offensive line, the running game, are asked to rank Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Chris Olave, and Garrett Wilson, and much, much, much more.

It is Buckeye Weekly LIVE broadcasting our weekly Friday show, this time at the lunchtime hour (for those on the East). It is Ohio State and Purdue in a game that was not thought earlier in the season to be a critical one, but how things have changed. The Boilermakers have two giant wins on the season, find themselves in the top-20 and now we have plenty to discuss here on this edition of Buckeye Weekly LIVE. Join Tom Orr, Tony Gerdeman and Kevin Noon as they answer your questions about the upcoming game, look at the week in the Big Ten and the NCAA and help get you closer to the big game. All of that and more on Buckeye Weekly LIVE.

This is a big weekend for Top 10 teams traveling to dangerous road sites. There are also a couple of Top 10 teams hosting some tough competition.

Who will come out of the weekend unscathed?

In this episode of the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr preview the biggest games of the weekend and the impact that Saturday is going to have on the college football world moving forward.

Big Me Kickoff is here, and the regular season is already 75-percent done and there are three games between the Buckeyes and a potential finish line at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis to protect their crown as league champs.

None of that talk means a thing if the Buckeyes are not able to take care of business each week and this week that business is all about the Boilermakers of Purdue.

As we have told you all week long, no team seems to get to the Buckeyes more in the Big Ten than Purdue does, even with a highly lopsided overall series. What are we watching for this week? What do the Buckeyes need to do better? What does recent history say about this series? All of that is touched upon in this edition of the Big Me Kickoff with Kevin Noon.

Plus, we look at some other key games in the Big Ten as well as outside of the conference. You better enjoy your big games this weekend because next week has very few, outside of a big one between Ohio State and Michigan State. But we are not going to get ahead of ourselves.

Promise.

Check out this edition of the Big Me Kickoff and be in the know.

If you don't count the 2010 contest that was redacted, Ohio State and Purdue have split their last eight meetings.

The Boilers already have a pair of wins over Top-5 teams this year, having beaten No. 2 Iowa and No. 3 Michigan State. This week they travel to the No. 5 Buckeyes and they are looking to move their impressive spoiling record to 3-0.

Tom Orr and Tony Gerdeman preview the Buckeyes and the Boilers in this episode of the Buckeye Weekly Podcast.

What's the key to stopping Purdue and can the Ohio State defense do it? Can the Buckeyes get back to running the ball? The fellas discuss these topics and a score of others.

The No. 4 Buckeyes host No. 19 Purdue this weekend as the Spoilermakers look to take down yet another Top-5 opponent this year.

More importantly than that, however, Tom Orr and Tony Gerdeman are once again competing to see whose bold predictions will reign supreme.

The fellas each have seven bold predictions to hand out. Some of those predictions involve Purdue star David Bell, the Ohio State secondary, the Buckeyes' run defense, the newest Ohio State defenders making waves, and much, much more.
