Ohio State vs. Indiana was a No. 1 vs. No. 2 showdown in the Big Ten Championship game last season. The Hoosiers won and went on to a 16-0 season and the national title. The rematch will come in Week 7 in 2026 as the Buckeyes visit the Hoosiers in Memorial Stadium on Oct. 17. As part of their breakdown of every Ohio State regular-season game, Bill Landis and Doug Lesmerises tackled this matchup with the help of two outstanding experts on Indiana from CrimsonCast, the longest-running podcast covering Indiana sports. Grace Ybarra and Galen Clavio shared their time and expertise to discuss head coach Curt Cignetti, defensive coordinator Bryant Haines, new quarterback Josh Hoover, and interesting receiving group and offensive line, and why this game should be the biggest game in the 66-year history of Memorial Stadium. Make sure to check out the other previews in this feed for the Buckeyes' games against Ball State, Texas, Kent State, Illinois, Iowa and Maryland.

Around the Shoe is focusing on Ohio State recruiting this week, after the Buckeyes held the first of four day camps on Tuesday taht are bringing some of the best high school players in the country to Columbus. The Buckeyes will host three more day camps on Thursday; Tuesday, June 16; and Thursday June 18. Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis were both at Tuesday's camp, and were joined on this episode by two OSU recruiting experts who also spent their Tuesday watching prospects work out at Ohio State. That's Garrick Hodge of Bucknuts.com and 247Sports.com and Andrew Gillis of cleveland.com. The topics on this episodes covered 2027 running back target David Gabriel Georges; current QB commit Brady Edmunds and what will happen with him; the rating of Ohio State's 2027 class so far; and some favorite stories from recruiting camps. Thanks to Garrick and Andrew for their time and recruiting expertise. Make sure to check out their in-depth recruiting coverage at Bucknuts.com and cleveland.com.

Next up in our preview of Ohio State's 2026 opponents is a week six game against Maryland. The Terrapins will come to Ohio Stadium on Oct. 10 between the Buckeyes' road trips to Iowa and Indiana. Does that make this a trap spot? Probably not. But Maryland has some exciting young talent that it's building around, and could get someone unexpected in the Big Ten this year. Ahmed Ghafir of Inside the Black & Gold joins Bill Landis to tell us a little more about the Terps. Thanks for watching and listening. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Congress held hearings for the Protect College Sports Act on Wednesday, and Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis are here to talk about it. Seems like there is still a lot of posturing going on, as the Big Ten and SEC came out against the Act as written, opposed to parts of it. We're in the midst of the continued chaos around college sports, and maybe making some progress. But this Act may not be the answer. Thanks for joining The Bill and Doug Show.

Our preview of Ohio State regular-season opponents is at Week 5 and the Buckeyes' visit to Iowa on Oct. 3. On this episode of The Bill and Doug Show, David Eickholt of HawkeyeInsider.com in the 247Sports Network joins Bill and Doug to break down the Hawkeyes. This will be Ohio State's first trip to Iowa City since the Hawkeyes upset Ohio State in 2017. This year, the Hawkeyes have a quarterback battle ahead in August and questions about their defense, where only three starters return. Kirk Ferentz is back for Year 28 leading the Hawkeyes, and he's 2-3 against Ohio State in Kinnick Stadium, with one of those OSU victories a fourth-quarter comeback for Iowa. This game could be at night. Does that mean things could get tricky for Ohio State? Thanks to David for the time and thanks to you for joining The Bill and Doug Show.

It's two new guests on Around the Shoe as current podcast hosts and former Ohio State players Bryant Browning and Chimdi Chekwa join Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis to discuss five topics on Ohio State and college football. Browning and Chekwa currently host Bleav in Buckeyes, but before that they played for Jim Tressel. So we asked them a Tressel question -- was the Tressel Era or Urban Meyer Era a bigger success at Ohio State? Before that, there were two Michigan game questions: • Could an expanded playoff negatively affect The Game? • Should a move to the middle of the season for the rivalry be considered? Then we wrapped up with questions on Big Noon and on the future of Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby. Thanks to Bryant and Chimdi for their time. You can check out their YouTube Show at https://www.youtube.com/@UCwaE048eym8ath61UApYqdw And thanks to you for joining us.

How does Big Ten depth actually stack up to SEC depth? On this edition of The Bill and Doug show, Bill Landis and Doug Lesmerises are joined by the great Adam Rittenberg of ESPN.com to break that down. Which league has better coaching? Which Big Ten team is most central to the depth argument? How did the Big Ten handle its spring meetings, which Adam attended? What was the message from SEC spring meetings last week? Adam knows this discussion inside and out and was generous with his time, as these two leagues continue to do battle at the top of college football. Thanks for joining The Bill and Doug Show.

Illinois will visit Ohio State on Sept. 26 in the Big Ten opener for both teams in 2026, and Jeremy Werner of IlliniInquirer.com joined Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis on this episode to break down the Week 4 matchup. The Bill and Doug Show is running through the entire regular season schedule for the Buckeyes with videos and podcasts on this feed, and written breakdowns at their Substack at https://billanddougosu.substack.com Illinois hasn't beaten Ohio State since 2007, and the Buckeyes handled business at Illinois a year ago. There's a new QB, a new offensive line, and a new defensive coordinator in Champaign. But Bret Bielema is still there in Year 6 leading the Illini, who seem to have become a pretty solid Tier 2 team in the Big Ten. Does that mean they can give Ohio State a game?
