Ohio State-Michigan shifts Ohio's recruiting landscape, Notre Dame announces a sellout for the Ohio State game and Paris Johnson Jr. is “Pancake Paris.”
Yesterday's post came out in a rush, so I wanted to clarify a few things that I missed. Thank you to readers who pointed some of these out. There are no more divisions. This was evident but I should have at least said the format is divisionless, with only the most important protected rivalries. There's a helpful graphic that shows the protected games and the two-plays for 2024-'25: The Big Ten is probably not bringing them back either, because they stated they want every four-year player to get a chance to play in every Big Ten stadium during their careers.
