At the quarter-mark of the regular season, what grade would we give the Buckeyes in these categories: offense, defense and special teams? Also, who are our picks to win the Big Ten, SEC, ACC and Big 12 championships? Jonah Booker and Dave Biddle discuss that and much more on the Friday 5ish.

Just two questions of MANY answered by Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter this morning. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!
