The media has not spoken with Ohio State offensive coordinator Chip Kelly for nearly a month. That will change at approximately 12:30 p.m. ET today, following head coach Ryan Day's press conference. It will be interesting to finally hear what Kelly has to say on many fronts. Why did he fail to adjust his game plan against Michigan when it clearly was not working? What stands out about Tennessee's defense? What changes might the Buckeyes make on their offensive line? We are of course just five days away from the College Football Playoff first-round matchup between the Buckeyes and the visiting Volunteers on Saturday (8 p.m. ET; ABC/ESPN). Ohio State is favored by 7 points. What are our vibes on this game? Also, the transfer portal is heating up more by the day it seems. We give you the latest from OSU's perspective.

Ohio State's first-round College Football Playoff game against Tennessee is just 10 days away, which is a bit hard to imagine. The Buckeyes have been the target of a lot of criticism lately, mainly for the egg they laid against a bad Michigan team to close out the regular season. Also, OSU fans have been called to the carpet for not making Ohio Stadium a difficult place for opponents to play. Can Ryan Day and his team silence their doubters on all fronts come Dec. 21? Matt Baxendell and Dave Biddle delve into that and much more on the Monday 5ish.

After much debate, we now know what the College Football Playoff field looks like. And it appears to be a daunting draw for Ohio State. The No. 8-seeded Buckeyes will host ninth-seeded Tennessee on Dec. 21 (8 p.m. ET; ABC/ESPN), and if the Buckeyes prevail, they will take on No. 1-seeded Oregon at the Rose Bowl in the quarterfinals. What do we think of the Buckeyes' possible path in the CFP? Can they go on a magical four-game run? Might they be one-and-done against a Tennessee team that is very good on both sides of the ball up front? And how in the world did sixth-seeded Penn State get such a favorable draw? Dave Biddle and Dan Rubin discuss that and much more on the Monday 5ish.

Ohio State landed in what appears to be a very favorable No. 6 spot in the College Football Playoff rankings, which were released Tuesday night. The Buckeyes will likely drop a spot or two in the final rankings, but they appear to be a lock to host a first-round playoff game. Also, is this the weirdest signing day ever? College football managed to shoehorn in a signing day on Dec. 4, which is one of the strangest decisions we can remember. We'll keep saying this until we're blue in the face: the early signing period should be the final week of July, right before training camp begins. The good news is this means the media will get a chance to speak with OSU head coach Ryan Day today. It is the signing day press conference, but of course many questions will be asked about the Buckeyes' offensive and special teams debacle in their loss to Michigan last Saturday. Dave Biddle and Steve Helwagen delve into all of that and more on the Wednesday 5ish.

You know the big names - Na'eem Offord, David Sanders - but we dive deep on all possibilities. We even offer up 'Buck-Eye In The Sky' action from Saturday's heartbreaker.
