You’re Nuts: Should A’mare Bynum start Saturday against North Carolina?
Ohio State (8-2) is facing both a literal and metaphorical giant in No. 12 North Carolina (10-1) Saturday in the CBS Sports Classic. The Tar Heels are the tallest team in the nation according to KenPom, and Ohio State is going to need to be creative on offense if they want to pull off the […]
You’re Nuts: Which non-CFP bowl game are you most looking forward to?
With Ohio State not playing until New Year’s Eve, Buckeye Nation will have plenty of free time over the next few weeks to take in some football that doesn’t involve a team wearing scarlet and gray.

C.J. Hicks’ redshirt year could pay off sooner than expected for Ohio State
Ohio State’s 2025 season has been defined by stars playing at a championship level, but one of the most intriguing and interesting developments has happened largely out of sight.

Ohio State is likely to add a running back in the transfer portal
Ohio State’s offense has found a foundation in true freshman Bo Jackson, whose breakout season has validated the Buckeyes’ long term belief in his talent. Jackson’s vision, burst, and ability to shoulder volume, even as a true freshman, have made him one of the most promising young backs in the country, and he will enter […]
Ohio State women’s shooting woes, Norfolk State preview, and Jacy Sheldon returns
No. 21 Ohio State women’s basketball has two more games before the Christmas holiday, and it starts Thursday against the Norfolk State Spartans of the Mid-Eastern Atlantic Conference.

Big time WR target reclassifies to 2027 class, top tight end looking to commit this winter
It not that often that high school players reclassify, but when it does present itself it’s usually for some of the top talent the prep ranks has to offer.

Who will be calling plays for Ohio State in the CFP, and why the Buckeyes should be more aggressive
Brian Hartline’s hiring as South Florida’s head coach closed one chapter while simultaneously complicating another for Ohio State, but it does not disrupt the Buckeyes’ championship push.

Who do you want the Buckeyes to play in the College Football Playoff Quarterfinals?
With a first-round bye going into the College Football Playoff, this is kind of uncharted territory for the Buckeyes.

Ohio State offensive line season in review: Growth, stability, and a unit peaking at the right time
Ohio State’s offensive line entered the 2025 season with questions, reshuffled roles, and several players stepping into unfamiliar responsibilities.
