It's an off week for Ohio State and that gives THE Podcast a chance to talk about the rest of the Big Ten on the latest episode of THE Podcast Daily with Austin Ward, Bill Landis and Jeremy Birmingham sharing their thoughts on the league and how the first two weeks have changed perception around every team ... except the Buckeyes.

Don't get ahead of yourselves guys we got a long way to go

[@Al-Rudigor]

Exactly, don't eat the rat poison.

I disagree with Austin. Oregon and Penn St will be tough. I've seen alot of bad Michigan teams give Ohio St fits in The game. OSU will be tested. It happens to all the teams at least once.

[@Al-Rudigor]

Yes!

[@jeffreymcdowell7189]

It will not be the first time. Penn state slow played a bad mac team.. And had a pretty good season.. I think I will be good

[@freeone5534]

Yep gotta earn those W we are everyone national champs

[@mecahhannah]

Awesome as always thanks guys go bucks

[@aaronbux1]

Why would anyone be surprised by Texas curb-stomping a team that could no longer rely on cheating? I was not even a little surprised by that game. I called it 34 - 13. Pretty close. And Texas could have hung more. UM has a good D .. but even good D's get tired .. and Texas' O is not just an average O. And we all knew UM's O would not be able to move the ball. So again, zero surprise.

[@MovingBuck]

Yup, defense is much harder when you don’t know what’s coming!!

[@CFBDeepDives]

Birm, the opening line for Michigan-USC was -9.5 Michigan. Currently on DraftKings Sportsbook it’s USC -3. FanDuel has it at -2.5 USC.

[@taxisquad11]

USC doesn't play Ohio State during the season a big advantage for them

[@OfficiallyOrca]

Ohio State is everyone's Superbowl. Those teams will move heaven and earth to beat us. It's more about the mentality of our boys and our staffers going in. As long as we hunt and keep up this mindset we have currently we are good regardless of who the opponent is. #GoBucks

[@jasonsheffield3009]

2:57 PDT USC line is -3 on DK

[@ericstockman7405]

number has been corrected - USC is a 3 point favorite now

[@mitchellh1114]

I disagree with Austin. Oregon and Penn state will be fired up to play us

[@anthonyallard3156]

No Penn State?

[@Channel4Marc]

mark my words, Nebraska will be the toughest game the Buckeyes play

[@theOptimisticRealist]

Michigan is +3 against USC right now 😂 no way birm has this kind of power

[@markt5746]

Maybe Michigan not knowing what play is coming might be a problem for them. Just saying!!

[@briancopes-t5q]

GO BUCKS!!

[@tracywinters917]

Oregon played 2 "gimmy" teams and tried to give them away. So ppl can stuff it against the schedule. I agree Austin go and handle business against whom you should. Oregon didn't do that. Heck neither did ttun nor psu

[@Al-Rudigor]

However, those teams are still very talented. When they play bigger games, they will be inspired and dangerous.

[@jaynino6656]

Where exactly can I find this USC +9.5? Everywhere I just looked they are favored by 2.5

[@raheemdotson240]

Facts idk where birm is looking. Those are not the odds

[@powerhouse539]

It was before the season started

[@roris5882]

Yup, odds consistently change

[@ThePodcast_OhioState]

It was that way on ESPN Bet on Thursday ... but when I tried to go bet it, the game was removed. Still listed there, actually as of 9:03AM on Friday morning. www.espn.com/college-football/game/_/gameId/401628489/usc-michigan

[@Dalter9]

I just looked on draftings and its USC-3

[@brianritchey7923]

Dylan R. should have thrown 2 picks against Colorado including his only TD

[@buckeye4ever419]

EVERY team will be ready to play the Buckeyes. We have a target on our back this year more than others past. Leave no doubt and knock 'em all out. Natty or bust. O-H

[@Channel4Marc]

Don/t be fooled by Oregon lack luster play are just playing down to their competition...that game is going to be a real challenge for OSU

[@charlesparker7257]

I think Colorado can beat Michigan by aleast two touchdowns

[@riccoshockley6512]

Are they suppose to be experts 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@jerrico002]

🅾🌰

[@charlesparker7257]

It’s funny how these guys ignore the fact that Xichigan had a manifesto and cheated for years

[@aaronbux1]

Austin always has the past stuck in his head. "No way a true freshman WR can start at OSU." .. "USC can't be in the B10 title game. Lincoln Riley always falls flat because of their D." Birm and Bill then pick USC. Lol.
