Pre-season college football magazines and publications will come out in full force before you know it, but some content is already starting to leak. Athlon Sports has published its 25 best pre-season college football, and with it some other online information about the upcoming season.
Part of that are the pre-season teams of all the big ten, and you can count on the state of Ohio to be well represented. Surprisingly, Michigan actually has one player more in all four teams than OSU, but the Buckeys lead when it comes to the most in the first team - a total of eight.
All in all, there are sixteen players from the state of Ohio in four teams for 2022, and of course, everything is based on predicting how good each will be in the upcoming fall.
Here’s how everything goes wrong.
