Are we not talking enough about the impact first-year offensive coordinator Arthur Smith is going to have at Ohio State this year? That is the main topic of conversation on today's show with Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle. Also on the docket: * Who will blink first in the "CFP standoff" between Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti and SEC commish Greg Sankey? Petitti wants a 24-team field. And if he doesn't get it, he will elect to keep the CFP at 12 teams. A 16-team CFP is off the table as far as the Big Ten is concerned. It's either 24 or 12. * What do we expect from Payton Pierce this season as he takes over as the Buckeyes' starting middle linebacker? How do we feel about the LB room overall? * We get JBook's prediction of who will finish second and third on Ohio State's team in receptions and receiving yards this season. All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.
