## Resource

We are happy to welcome Dan Hope from Eleven Warriors to the show. Dan and Dave Biddle will discuss the following and more on today's program: * Reacting to Ohio State being the betting favorite to win the 2026 national championship. What other national title odds jump out at us? * How do the Heisman odds look for Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith? * Speaking of Sayin, he seems to have a decent amount of critics this offseason. What does Dan Hope think about that? * What does the future of the College Football Playoff look like? * Are we on the verge of the NCAA going to a "5-in-5" model? (Five years for athletes to play five seasons.) * Who will be second on the Buckeyes in receiving yards and receptions this season? Who will be third in those categories? * Who will be second in rushing yards this year for OSU? * The NCAA denied Brendan Sorsby's request to be reinstated. What do we think will ultimately end up happening with Sorsby's eligibility? That and more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish.
