Will Julian Sayin Make the Leap in Year 2? 7 OSU Captains?! Top 12 CFP Teams. CFB is a Mess.

The Script is back with Cardale Jones, Beanie Wells and Dave Holmes breaking down the biggest Ohio State football stories of the week. The Buckeyes have named seven team captains for the 2026 season, including quarterback Julian Sayin. Is seven captains too many, and what does Sayin earning that honor say about the next step he is taking as Ohio State’s leader? The guys discuss the rave reviews from camp, his growth in Ryan Day’s offense and why the Buckeyes are banking on a major year 2 leap from their quarterback. Then, college football’s eligibility rules get even more ridiculous. With former NFL players potentially returning to college, Cardale, Beanie and Dave react to the latest development and what it could mean for the sport moving forward. Plus, the crew builds its 12-team College Football Playoff field before the season kicks off. Which teams are locks, which contenders are being overlooked, and where do Ohio State, Texas, LSU, Penn State and Michigan fit? They also examine whether Michigan’s pursuit of Drew Mestemaker means the Wolverines are losing faith in Bryce Underwood. Finally, the guys react to Deshaun Watson’s struggles, his response to Browns fans, and why Cleveland’s quarterback situation remains a mess before saluting Nick Chubb and his legendary football career. #OhioStateFootball #Buckeyes #CollegeFootball #CFBPlayoff #JulianSayin #CardaleJones #BeanieWells #ClevelandBrowns #NickChubb #DeshaunWatson #michiganfootball 00:00 The Script begins 00:40 Ohio State names seven captains 05:56 Julian Sayin’s Year 2 leap 10:45 College football eligibility rules are out of control 18:04 Building the 12-team College Football Playoff 35:31 Is Michigan losing faith in Bryce Underwood? 42:35 Deshaun Watson, Browns fans and Cleveland’s QB mess 50:09 Saluting Nick Chubb’s legendary career Thank you to our sponsors: Dr Pepper - It's a Pepper Thing!
