Ohio State's newest defensive position coaches -- James Laurinaitis and Matt Guerrieri -- met with the media yesterday and they were nothing short of extremely impressive. What were our main takeaways from both Q&A sessions? Laurinaitis basically said Cody Simon is locked in as a starting linebacker. Who will start alongside of him? As for the safeties, Guerrieri is inheriting a proverbial gold mine with the talent in his room with the likes of Caleb Downs and Lathan Ransom. As for Sonny Styles, will he be in Guerrieri's room this year? Or Laurinaitis'? Time will tell on that one, but both coaches had interesting things to say about the talented junior. Also, the CFP made its "5+7" format official on Tuesday. We see one major problem with it. We discuss in detail on the show, but the gist of it is we do not think the ACC and Big 12 should be on equal footing with the Big Ten and SEC when it comes to automatic berths and first-round byes. We explain further. Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle discuss all of that and more on the Wednesday 5ish.
