Joe Burrow was a full participant on Wednesday. He may be shooting to return this weekend.

Should he? Should he return at all for a 3-7 team with a historically bad defense? Does it matter?

The Big Ten has three teams in the CFP field. Indiana has seemingly locked up a spot, while Ohio State is likely one win away.

I can see one route for four B1G teams...but I'd rather not think about it.

Much has been made about Ohio State slowing the game down. I think its a great strategy when it works. There are some drawbacks to the approach, though.

Does Ryan Day have the right idea or is it going to come back to bite the Buckeyes?

The initial CFP rankings are dropping tomorrow. Ohio state and Indiana have a legitimate claim to the number one ranking.

Should the Buckeyes keep it, or have the Hoosiers impressed enough to jump them?

I think it'll be Ohio State until/if it loses.

The Bengals have all kinds of issues, both on and off the field. With another meltdown on defense and those players laughing it off, it's obvious that Zac Taylor has lost the locker room.

Julian Sayin was almost perfect as he carved up Penn State's secondary and the Buckeye defense recovered after allowing two first-half TDs.

The Buckeyes are 8-0, now. How we feeling? #GoBucks

Trey Hendrickson is doubtful for Sunday. The Bengals defense has been rough even with him, to put it lightly. Without him? A must-win game just got that much more important. #WhoDey

The Bengals' defense is god awful. They're gonna be without their best player for a while, most likely.

The Buckeyes finally get a shot to play for the Illibuck for the first time since 2017 (since 2020 was canceled).

Do we see Julian Sayin and the Buckeye offense uncork it again and show the 62-10 beatdown the Illini suffered to Indiana wasn't a fluke?
