Play Game Weekly Upset Contest for 2024 (Winner is @muffler dragon)

THE BEST CONTEST ON THE INTERNET IS BACK!!!!!

Once again, this will be a simple contest to participate in. Each week I will list all of the underdogs in the Div 1-A games that I see a point-spread for at the beginning of the week. Each person may pick 1 and only 1 team each week; just post your pick in this thread.

You must pick your team before the kickoff of your game. It isn't mandatory to make a pick every week, but if you don't, you obviously can't earn any points that week.

If your team wins, you are awarded the amount of points that they were assigned in the spread; if they lose you get 0 points. So it's riskier to pick Little-Sisters-of-the-Poor +47 when they play Texas Tech, but you get a ton of points if they win, as opposed to getting only a couple of points when you pick a close game.

Once I post the point spreads inside this thread, they are locked for purposes of this contest. Only the spreads listed in this thread will be used to award points.

The entire season-long contest will exist in this one thread. Each week I will post the points for that week and the season-to-date totals. Whoever has the most points after the Conference Championship Games in December will be declared the winner, and will receive ¤25,000 Sportsbook "cash".

There will be a separate contest in December for Bowl game upsets.

LGHL Ohio State 2025 four-star WR target sets commitment date, names top five schools

Ohio State 2025 four-star WR target sets commitment date, names top five schools

2025 four-star WR Jerome Myles | via Blair Angulo, 247Sports

The Buckeyes are also trending for a 2026 five-star safety.

Ohio State has less than two weeks before it kicks off the 2024 regular season. As the new campaign quickly approaches, this year’s current roster of Buckeyes is coming together. In the last week, Ohio State has announced its starting quarterback, its captains and who will don the Block 0 jersey for this season.

With so much attention on the start of the season, it would be easy to think that focus on recruiting would slow down. And while that may be true to an extent, Ryan Day and the Ohio State coaching staff knows that recruiting never stops.

This mantra held true on Monday, as Ohio State made multiple recruiting headlines to start the week.

Jerome Myles set top five and commitment date​


When thinking of Ohio State recruiting, most would first think of the success of Brian Hartline at bringing the nation’s top talents to Columbus. In the current 2025 cycle, the Buckeyes already hold commitments from four-star WR Quincy Porter and De’zie Jones as well as three-star Ohio WR Bodpegn Miller.

This certainly is an impressive haul once again, but it is also fair to point out this haul does not have the same pedigree as in year’s past. Ohio State is certainly not done recruiting the position, and on Monday the team learned it made the cut for 2025 four-star WR Jerome Myles (Draper, UT / Corner Canyon).

Ohio State is not alone it its pursuit of Myles, and alongside the Buckeyes, Georgia, Texas A&M, Utah and USC also made the cut.

Myles has been able to take official visits to both Utah and Texas A&M, but has not yet been able to visit with the remaining three finalists. Because of this, the hometown school of Utah has an early lead, and it is one that will be tough for the Buckeyes to surpass.

Following the announcement of his commitment date, a flurry of predictions in favor of Utah were cast for Myles across multiple recruiting websites. However, Ohio State has not yet been able to host him on an official visit, and hopes to get him on campus for an in-game official visit.

The fact the team is considered a finalist after only offering him in July and not yet hosting him on a visit means he is truly considering the Buckeyes. If he his able to get to Columbus for a game this year, the Buckeyes chances could jump exponentially.

Myles is the No. 7 WR in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and is the No. 45 overall prospect. He is also the No. 1 recruit out of Utah.

Ohio State trending for 2026 five-star Safety


Ohio State is putting the finishing touches on its 2025 class — one that holds 24 verbal commitments and is No. 1 in the 247Sports Class Rankings. This has afforded the Buckeyes with the opportunity to place focus on next year’s cycle.

Ohio State already has one verbal commitment in the 2026 class in five-star WR Chris Henry Jr., and the team is making headway with multiple others. One of the recruits the Buckeyes would love to add to its class is five-star safety Bralan Womack (Flowood, MS / Hartfield Academy) and the team learned recently it moved one step closer to earning his commitment.

Over the weekend Womack released his top 10 schools, and Ohio State made the cut.

Alongside the Buckeyes, Womack also included Texas A&M, Notre Dame, Mississippi State, Alabama, Nebraska, Tennessee, Louisville, Texas and LSU.

It is still early in his recruitment and he has yet to take any official visits, so no team has truly separated themselves from the pack. Tom Loy of 247Sports offered some more insight into Womack’s recruitment, and he thinks Ohio State is currently the top team to beat.


"You got Ohio State, Alabama, Texas, Texas A&M, and Notre Dame. In fact, I would actually put them in that order 1-5."@TomLoy247 with the latest intel on the No. 1 safety in the class of 2026 Bralan Womack pic.twitter.com/4j2cRedl7r

— 247Sports (@247Sports) August 19, 2024

Womack is the No. 3 safety in the 247Sports Composite Rankings and is the No. 23 overall prospect. He is also the No. 1 recruit out of Mississippi.
