Michigan’s season takes one of two paths on Saturday. Will the Wolverines’ QB change be enough in a season-defining clash with USC? Elsewhere, Ohio State finishes off its non-conference slate with Marshall. Is there a dangerous downside to the Buckeyes’ sleepy schedule? Plus, Nebraska and Illinois are suddenly pretty good (!) while Florida State is . . . not.

It’s just a flesh wound! What offensive answers does Michigan have after Texas? How much stock can Ohio State fans put in the first two Buckeye performances? Elsewhere, Playoff Notre Dame™ is no longer a sure thing, Kyle Monangai keeps Rutgers rolling, and can we stop pretending Colorado is relevant?

A calm and rational exploration of the Michigan offense. Or maybe not. Does the fault truly lie with Davis Warren and the quarterbacks? Either way, the Wolverines welcome Texas to Ann Arbor for a season-defining clash. Meanwhile, Jeremiah Smith looks like WR1 as Ohio State rolls in Columbus. Plus, Michigan’s elite (?) defense, the Buckeyes upgrade with Will Howard, and how many crimes has Bevo committed?

The long wait is over- college football is back! Both Michigan and Ohio State begin their seasons with a host of high expectations, along with a few question marks. Plus, it’s the wild, wild west in the expanded College Football Playoff. What playoff darling is actually a pretender? You know. . . besides Florida State. Also: why Will Howard and Alex Orji aren’t all that different (!) and which Top 10 team joins the Noles at 0-1.

Did we learn anything from Michigan or Ohio State's spring games? It's a firm "maybe."

The guys (over)-analyze the team performances, reflect on the trip to Ann Arbor, and identify the toughest games on the fall schedule. Plus, Ohio State wins the Spring Game Attendance National Championship while Michigan gets rings for their actual natty.

Michigan finishes the perfect season and wins their first national championship since 1997. Does it have an asterisk? Who returns for the Wolverines -and Buckeyes - next season? Plus, hope springs eternal, Ohio State fans are soft, and gloating is in full effect.

Thanks For Watching, See You In The Off-Season!

Michigan wins an all-time Rose Bowl thriller over Alabama! Washington fends off Texas in the final moments! Ohio State . . . uh . . . kicked a field goal against Mizzou. Who hoists the trophy in Houston? Why shouldn't you text rival fans during the game? Plus, everybody's in the portal, Rutgers gets a bowl win, and Buckeye fans are embarrassing themselves.

It's a clash of titans as Michigan meets Alabama in the Rose Bowl. Can the Wolverines handle Jalen Milroe? Can the Tide disrupt JJ McCarthy? Elsewhere, Kyle McCord is now Orange, will Ohio State care about the Cotton Bowl, and who has the advantage in the Sugar Bowl between Texas and Washington?
