Is Ohio State-Michigan the best rivalry in sports?

This past weekend, I had the privilege of attending two rivalry college basketball games. Saturday night, I went to the Kentucky-Tennessee game at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky.

Julian Sayin’s preseason All-American case, and the biggest obstacle in his way

After putting together my preseason All-American projection for Ohio State, the most interesting debate point wasn’t Jeremiah Smith (he’s the easiest lock on the roster). It was Julian Sayin, because quarterback is the one position where “elite” still doesn’t guarantee first-team preseason status. Sayin already owns the exact resume voters lean on in August. He […]

Predicting Ohio State’s 2026 preseason All-Americans

Preseason All-American teams are always part projection, part reputation, and part, “who already proved it on a national stage.” Ohio State has plenty of candidates for 2026, but the list really starts with two names who have already lived in the sport’s biggest conversations. First team lock: Jeremiah Smith If you’re building a preseason first […]
