Landis, do you think that 9-3 Ohio State national champions is sort of like a reasonable thing to ponder?

Bill's the chief content officer.

Can I cuss or no?

Bill can ring you up.

And I do think, you know, certainly there were people saying this during the season when Ohio State was 12-0 in the regular season.

And, you know, Penn State fell apart and wasn't that difficult of a game.

And they had the Texas game early.

But Ohio State's schedule wasn't that difficult.

And I do think there is some portion of the Ohio State fan base that's a little scarred by that.

That maybe they didn't feel it in the moment.

But looking back, they do think, hey, Ohio State wasn't tested enough.

and then they lost their two postseason games.

I think, Matt, there's a portion of Ohio State fans who would almost embrace a 9-3 regular season if it toughens.

Oh, we got our Landis wrinkle.

They can't wait for this team to lose.

But if they feel like it's toughening, like if they're still going to get in and it's hardening them and toughening them up,

for the post season that maybe, and maybe not embrace nine and three, but if it's like 10 and two and they play some bangers and it's like, man, like they played some excellent teams, they're battle tested.

I, and that again, Matt, I think is maybe what this era of college football, maybe that's what everybody needs to be prepared for.

And maybe battle tested is a good thing.

Good year.
