Urban Meyer Said It: The Big Ten Has Passed the SEC and Nobody In College Football Is Ready For Ohio State
You hear that? That's the sound of Urban Meyer dropping a massive truth bomb, telling anyone who'll listen that the Big Ten has officially taken the crown from the SEC in college football. Forget what you thought you knew, folks, because the landscape has shifted. And if early word out of Columbus means anything, Ohio State is here to back that claim up big time!
Buckeyes Are Heating Up Early!
Listen, when Sporting News drops their College Football preview and Ohio State is already ranked highly, you know something special is brewing. We're talking serious buzz here, and it’s not just talk. There’s good news on the recruiting front with a five-star running back making waves, and Fox Sports is already calling one Buckeye player a 2026 breakout candidate. How sick is that? And Carnell Tate? The dude is out there proving why he was the No. 4 overall pick, making plays like crazy. You can just feel the energy from Columbus, especially with Cortez Hankton getting mic'd up during Ohio State spring ball, showing that intensity.

Coach Diebler's Making Moves Off The Field
It's not just football making headlines either. Over on the hardwood, Jake Diebler, the man in charge, has been busy. He met with the media to update staff and the season outlook, and he's not messing around. Diebler promoted veteran assistant Jamall Walker, brought back Dave Richardson for strength and conditioning, and even hired a former Ohio State basketball star to his staff. That's a strong statement right there, building a solid foundation. You can even check out highlights of Ohio State basketball transfer guard Justin Pippen doing his thing. The future looks bright for hoops!
Even Jeremiah Smith is already talking about what he likes about Michigan, keeping that rivalry fire burning hot. And hey, for the soccer fanatics, the complete 2026 Ohio State men's soccer schedule is out too. It’s all happening!
This season feels like one for the history books, a chance for the Big Ten to cement its new reign at the top. So yeah, Greg Sankey might still be stumping for SEC football, but the Big Ten's success, and what Ohio State is building, is getting harder to ignore. With two Buckeyes even making the College Football Hall of Fame ballot, keeping that rich legacy alive, you know the pressure is on. Get ready, college football, because Ohio State is coming in hot, and they're bringing the Big Ten with them!
