This week in Ohio State talk

The shows spent the week wrestling with Ohio State's quarterback situation after Julian Sayin's injury, with some hosts calling it the biggest question mark in college football. Luke Fahey's debut start against USC and whether Jeremiah Smith can still make a Heisman case came up repeatedly. The talk also keeps circling back to playoff projections, with most hosts sending Ohio State to Indianapolis but several seeing Indiana as the favorite to win the Big Ten title game rematch.
