BOLD: Ohio State's Jake Diebler Could BENEFIT BIG as NCAA Hands Buckeyes MAJOR Tournament BOOST

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 13 May 2026 18:00:00 GMT

Ohio State Buckeyes basketball face mounting pressure as the NCAA Tournament expands to 76 teams, raising the stakes for Head Coach Jake Diebler. With heightened expectations, will Diebler’s squad rise to the challenge or risk falling short in a now less exclusive postseason field?

Jay Stephens spotlights the critical role of NCAA Tournament appearances for both program prestige and coaching careers. Key topics include Ohio State’s recent struggles under Diebler, the scheduling of marquee non-conference matchups against Kansas, UConn, BYU, and Notre Dame, and why missing the tournament is no longer tolerable for a high-resource program. The episode also explores fan reactions to expansion, implications for the Big Ten, and whether expanded access diminishes the value of regular season wins. Is Buckeyes basketball poised for a reset, or will this new era expose lingering issues in Columbus?

Kyle Whittingham is DEAD WRONG about $50 Million Dollar College Football Rosters!

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 12 May 2026 09:00:00 GMT

Kyle Whittingham claims it’ll take $50 million to build a national championship roster—but is that really the new normal for college football? But Indiana's Curt Cignetti says, "Google me." The Hoosiers didn’t come close to spending that much for their college football playoff championship roster. Craig Shemon breaks down why schools like Indiana, under Curt Cignetti, are defying big-budget expectations and competing with far less, challenging the money-driven narrative dominating the sport. (They visited President Donald Trump at the White House Monday to celebrate their college football title).

Key topics include which powerhouse programs—like Michigan, Ohio State, Oregon, LSU, and Texas—can actually reach Whittingham’s astronomical price point, and why most of the ACC and Big 12 may never join the high-dollar arms race. Plus, get the latest on UCLA and USC’s recruitment battles, major stadium upgrades at the Rose Bowl and Spartan Stadium, and which Big Ten teams are poised for NCAA softball and baseball success. Can great coaching still trump bankrolls in the NIL era? Join the conversation and rethink what it really takes to win in today’s college football landscape.

EXPECTATIONS: Nate Roberts Must DELIVER as Ohio State Buckeyes Replace All-Big Ten Max Klare

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 12 May 2026 04:00:00 GMT

Ohio State Buckeyes face a major test as Nate Roberts steps up to replace Max Klare at tight end, but can he match Clare’s production and on-field impact? Jay Stephens highlights Roberts’ crucial role in Ryan Day’s offense, analyzing his readiness, size, and the pressure he faces following two proven leaders. With the Buckeyes aiming for stability at tight end, Roberts’ development is vital, especially with high-stakes games looming against Texas and Michigan.

Transfers Hunter Welcing and Mason Williams bring fresh potential to the tight end room, but will they emerge as valuable complementary pieces? Stephens explores how their unique skill sets could fit alongside returning talent like Bennett Christian, while also featuring reaction to Ohio State’s buzzworthy ‘tunnel vision’ black jersey reveal and the traditional noon kickoff for the Michigan rivalry. Can Ohio State’s offense achieve new heights with these changes—on and off the field?

Daily Buckeye Blitz: The 24-Team Playoff Would DESTROY College Football

The Buckeye Cast — Mon, 11 May 2026 09:05:00 GMT

The College Football Playoff may eventually expand to 24 teams — and I think it would be a disaster for the sport.

In today's Daily Buckeye Blitz, I break down why college football's greatness has ALWAYS been tied to the urgency of the regular season. A 24-team playoff would remove consequences, dilute rivalry games, reward underachieving teams, and turn college football into NFL-lite.

I also react to recent comments and discussions surrounding CFP expansion, conference championship games, TV money, and the future of the sport.

Topics include:

Why the regular season is the soul of college football
Ohio State vs Michigan and what expansion would change
Why 24 teams rewards mediocrity
The real reason conferences want expansion
Why fans overwhelmingly oppose a 24-team playoff
How expansion changes the DNA of the sport

If you love college football because every Saturday matters, this episode is for you.

6 Ohio State football records in jeopardy of being broken in 2026

Cleveland.com - Advance Local — Mon, 11 May 2026 06:00:00 GMT

On this episode of Buckeye Talk, the hosts discuss Ohio State football records and potential records that could be broken in the 2026 season.

OSU has already broken its fair share of both individual and team records since Ryan Day took over the program in 2019 and a few more may be on the table this season. After looking back at some of those records, Stephen Means, Stefan Krajisnik and Andrew Gillis look ahead to what could be the longest season in school history and predict a few that could potentially fall.
