Chris Vannini and David Ubben are joined by longtime friend and former colleague Ari Wasserman of On3. The guys talk about Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith's guarantee that he won't lose to Michigan again. Good decision? Or has the rivalry lost something? Then they discuss Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti defending his auto-bid model to change the College Football Playoff. Does the regular season still matter? Is college sports losing itself?
