Episode notes
Ohio State's Championship Case
- Ohio State is the obvious top pick because they won last year and have an elite defense allowing just 41 total points through seven games.
- Their offense is improving with Julian Fleming integration and depth that survived OL injuries last season.
Indiana's Balanced But Shallow Profile
- Indiana rates highly because they balance a strong run and pass attack with a surprisingly stout defense that pressured Oregon.
- Concern centers on depth and whether they can sustain three consecutive signature wins without injuries.
Oregon's Talent Mix And Corrective Loss
- Oregon remains a legitimate title contender due to recruiting, portal additions, and a deep mix of talent despite recent hiccups.
- The loss at home may provide a corrective blueprint to adjust protection and running schemes around Dante Moore.
