- Who are the best Ohio State players entering the postseason and what are Ohio State's chances of beating Tennessee in a first-round College Football Playoff game?
On this Kings of Columbus, Bill Landis and Doug Lesmerises and draft and debate the best 22 OSU players for the third time this season, seeing who has moved up and down their lists.
But first they look at No. 8 Ohio State vs. Tennessee, examine at the greatest challenges the Vols should offer the Buckeyes, and get a feel from text subscribers on Ohio State's chances to win the first game and maybe make a national title run.
Thanks for joining Kings of Columbus.

Shout out to Bill! Thanks for asking the tough questions. Someone has to keep these coaches accountable.
There was a play that we ran to Jeremiah Smith in the first game which he dropped and they haven't run that play since....pull it back Chip
Ohio State clearly has the talent to win the natty. But will Day and the coaching staff be able to maximize that talent? That's the question.
I don’t trust Day or Kelly.
@thomaskearns193 i don't think Kelly has showed us anything to make me believe he was a good hire. He was was washed up HC that hasn't had success in many years. Plus remember Urban got into trouble after he started hiring his friends instead of best available.
I don't think the evidence is there that OSU is this super talented team. Some super star players for sure. But the oline, dline, LBs, TEs, and even corners are not the best units in the country or even the BIG.
They are good but this is not the generational talent laden team we were sold on
I think your description of Dylan Sampson will change by the time you preview the game. He’s definitely more “squirm” than “bowing ball”.
I hate to say it, but if I wasn't a diehard Ohio State fan I would take the 7.5 and Tennessee all day.
Good show, mates. Thank you.
Tennessee was and is not an air raid team. We have always run more than passed under JH. The passes were just expensive.
Yeah, not a true Mike Leach type air raid for sure. It’s the Art Briles wide splits with vertical shots system. In general though, a Texas based spread system that a lot of people are going to confuse with air raid because of the similarities.
Thanks guys🎉GO BUCKS😤💯
FACT: Trey Henderson as a Receiver out of backfield is a MATCHUP NIGHTMARE for Opposing Defenses - but I know that putting stress on Opponents Defense is not something Day & Kelly want to do‼️🙄
I do know this that if OSU doesn't utilize their talent on the perimeter and score at least 20 to 28 points the defense will be put in an untenable position again
Doug is much too harsh about Will Howard. I don't disagree that the picks against TTUN were brutal, but he has been "almost elite" this season. Look at the stats. He is on par with Dillon Gabriel
Fair point. But it would go further if he were better than 1-2 in his big games this year. Penn State and Michigan were easily his worst... Chance to redeem himself, but it looks closer to being a reality that he's not a pressure QB than an opinion. You could argue that he's 0-3 if you say he didn't clutch win the Oregon game. Personally I think he checked the box in that game
No one other than Doug and some national media has been hard enough on Will Howard or Ryan Day for choosing Will Howard. He’s mid at best and always folds in big games. He has a career filled with those moments.
He's never been able to throw the ball downfield that's why he would have been relegated to a backup this season at Kansas State if you look at his statistics is average passes 8 yd basically a hand off.
It all starts with the COACHING STAFF. Give the players the GAMEPLAN and all of the other knowledge tools they need to WIN THE DAMN GAMES. THAT is where Ryan Day and some of his assistants are FAILING.
On par? Stats against Akron, ect don’t count
OSU right now has a middling at best OL. Starting with the loss of Simmons but especially since the loss of McLaughlin. In the 4 games after Oregon vs Bowl bound teams we have run for 3.4 YPC, 108 yards per game and only 2 rushing TDs. They still pass protect at a reasonable rate, but we are effectively a 1 dimensional offense with a good but not great QB.
IN those same 4 games Howard has completed 71% of his passes which is great, but only for slightly less than 195 yards per game with 8TDs but 5 INTs plus a lost fumble. IE not spectacular.
Overall in those 4 games we have averaged just 22 points per game which includes PR TD vs Indiana, so the offense has averaged just 20.5/game. Also only 302.75 yards per game and only 5.38 yards per play with 6 TO's and 3 Missed FGs.
Those are not a recipe for beating a team with a good defense. Hopefully any OL shuffling will improve these totals, but until proven, i fear we may be getting ready for Mizzou 2.0
Get the point. Not as explosive lately. That said, they have faced elite D's along the way. Beyond Oregon, there are no teams crushing it against good defenses. UGA and UT prove the point.
Need to run better no doubt. May need to pass more and sprinkle in the run. That's what UGA did to beat Tenn.
I personally don't see a Mizzou game. That was a weird moment including playing the 3rd string qb.
Doug: The TE Room stinks, out loud - you’re allowed to say it - AND C. Kelly insisting on playing them in critical moments has KILLED this OSU Offense‼️Please make it STOP 🛑
Who has Ohio Staté best they ought to çàll it the big 3 and little 7
The Dylan Sampson disrespect is CRAZY
This will be a rock fight but enjoyéd your show just get ready for a fast pàçe GBO
Y’all got more research to do on Tennessee
I’m over DAY. Call me when a new regime is coaching OSU. AD Bjork needs to give DAY that Texas A&M treatment he gave to their last coach. Gene did Bjork a HUGE favor by firing Holtmann BEFORE getting hired on as OSU’s new AD to not make him look like a “bad guy” so now BJORK needs to do his job and end the DAY right 😏
Abul Carter from Penn state was shut down. JS...
chance is 50%-50% --------- probability is 49 : 51 %
As a Tennessee fan. I enjoyed this show and I think it's going to be a heck of a game. You might want to talk about TE #87 Miles kitlesman and #23 DB #23 Boo Carter. Go V-O-L-S
HELP!!!! ARE WE GONNA LOSE HARTLINE??????????????????
You can hire fart line and give him millions of dollars and you'd get the same results.
No
Bill is 100% on target with getting JJ the ball through tunnel screens slants etc. It's a cheat code we just aren't using. Could have saved the day against michigan and it's easy ish to execute
Osu was favored in the theoretical big ten title game that didn't happen.
How is Drew Allar better than Will Howard Doug
He threw 2 picks against Oregon and didn’t have a touchdown against ohio state
Can you breakdown how our Alabama trained center was hurt? How about the circumstances around all the O line lower leg injuries?
Football…football is the circumstance
Birm mentioned after the news broke that he heard Seth complain his Achilles was tight when leaving the Northwestern game at Wrigley.
It all comes down to POOR BLOCKING TECHNIQUES by the offensive linemen that increase the chances of suffering lower leg injuries. Once again, POOR COACHING.
From the poll (42:00), sounds like most fans think if we beat Oregon we'll win it all.
It’s funny how you only mentioned one guy on Tennessees DLine 😂 Joshua Joseph’s on the other edge will eat too
JOHNSON fl gators....12 carries 85...7.1 ypc
17 for 104 Wilcox 6.0 ypc
multiple guys from Arkansas has ran on you.
Don't act like nobody has ran on you. Js
They talked about your best player, its not that big of a deal man 😂
With Kelly calling the offense, we almost always go run-run-pass-punt and with Will Howard making ill advised throws in big games, I have to imagine Tennessee seals the win. Given Tennessee is far less predictable, has better talent and depth in the trenches, and OSU underperforms in the Shoe while having everything to gain and Day to lose, it’s got Tennessee getting the W all over it.
I don't like Donny not being over Howard Bill common on your A lineman
One and done
I HOPE SO! Ryan Day needs to take a one-way trip back to New Hampshire.
There's NO REASON to believe that we're NOT going to see a repeat of last year, when Ohio State lost to Michigan and played a VERY uninspired Cotton Bowl game against a less-than-great Missouri team, losing 14-3.
With all of the opt outs and transfers, you can’t judge a team by bowl games anymore
@@Jleed989 Lame excuses are never a good look. What were Ryan Day's excuses for the other three previous bowl losses PRIOR to the "portal" nonsense?
lol. Give me JT Barrett over will. Better runner, leader and 5-0 vs Michigan.
As long as tennessee doesnt just run the ball up the middle the entire game and throw for 60 yards ohio state should be ok. 😂
Can people move on from the Michigan game already, it’s happened, get over it. Yall are letting one game cloud the entire body of work for a team all season. Did Georgia not almost lose bama and Texas? Did Tennessee not lose to Arkansas? Did smu not lose to byu or Clemson lose to sc and Louisville? ND to NIU? And Georgia Oregon Texas and Penn st have had close calls all year. This is including Tennessee who had close games with LSU and Florida. Every team had its bumps but we all agreed was the problem was offensive game planning. They have shown the capabilities of being elite on offense but people are letting one dumb gameplan think they’re too dumb to play smart ball offensively. Defensively they’re were amazing all year besides one game. Like we legitimately held Michigan to 3 points. Every other point was gotten by the offense. This is the best defense in the country, it’s going to be a night game, it’s at home, it’s 3 weeks that Ryan day and chip Kelly AND Jim Knowles get to game planning, and we just gonna think it’s not going to play a big part? The offense has the firepower to expose Tennessee secondary but nobody can see it cuz yall to wrapped up on one game
TLDR: you don’t get it. Cool
You voice of reason is so true but doesn’t fit in with this bunch
@ how so
DOUG: The Podcast could have been wrapped up after you cited the 2 OL Players that are injured and not playing in CFBP - OSU will likely not advance very far based upon the same…
LOL: I’ll say it Bill - A. Reese is a better LB than S. Styles‼️The OSU Media beat is sooooo terrified to call out S. Styles for subpar play - he is most OVERRATED player on OSU Roster, and it’s not close…
Like you did against Arkansas?
Liké you did avI st .içhigN G O
Gee Scott needs to just be a cheerleader 📣 and stay off the field - play BOTH RB’s at same time - not slow talentless TE’s‼️
The ok is trah
Payton Manning has retired
Our defencé hasén’t yét GBO
Volunteers will embarrass Ohio at home.
I'm glad a lot of fans especially vols fans are overlooking the Buckeyes because of the Michigan game. Keep on overlooking us. Go Bucks!🫶
How many CFP TEAMS have Tennessee beat.....I'm waiting
Hope you put lots of $ on it.
Tennessee has done nothing. Never wins the SEC never made the 4 team playoffs. Bucks have been to 5 with 4 team playoff and now a 6th time with 12 teams. Tennessee has done SQUAT !!!!
Why are the Vols going to Athens? 🤔
Day will clamp up just like he did against TTUN.. program has regressed since 2019
DOUG: Oregon has WR’s OSU DB’s CANNOT COVER & OSU CANNOT GET TO QB - it doesn’t matter how many days Oregon has off before Rose Bowl lol 😂 they will hang 40+ points on OSU…
But….they’ve…already…played…………we’ve literally watched the matchup….in Autzen no less.
Hire this guy on ESPN college football coverage. Insight like this is invaluable.
mark you have a serious problem man. Go take a breather and get some fresh air
have you guys watched Tennessee?
Nico is not good
😂😂😂😂😂 What are you drunk?
Nico is good. I'm a Buckeye fan and think he has a high upside. Just young and inconsistent like lots of young qbs. Really good athlete.
