Jeremiah Smith Says Alabama Was His Dream School, But Crimson Tide “Thought There Was No Chance” After His Ohio State Commitment​

163153_h.jpg


Jeremiah Smith always dreamed of playing college football at Alabama, but the Crimson Tide didn't follow through.

During his interview session at Big Ten Media Days, Smith revealed Alabama was his dream school growing up in Miami Gardens, Florida.
"Growing up, my dream school was Alabama when Nick Saban was there. They wasn't recruiting me, though,” Smith said. “It is what it is, but I always wanted to go to Alabama."

Alabama had become a destination for several South Florida stars before Smith. He pointed to Amari Cooper (2012 four-star), Calvin Ridley (2015 five-star) and Jerry Jeudy (2017 five-star) as examples of elite wide receivers from the area who played in Tuscaloosa.

But it wasn't in the cards for Smith. He said his early commitment to Ohio State caused Alabama to bow out of his recruitment long before signing day.

"I think I committed to Ohio State too early," he said. "That's why they stopped. They thought there was no chance."

Alabama's decision to move on was probably the right one. Smith committed to Brian Hartline's program in the 2024 recruiting class, and by that point, Hartline had already sent Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Marvin Harrison Jr. to the NFL. Emeka Egbuka was nearing the end of his college career, and Carnell Tate was beginning his ascent toward becoming a top-five NFL draft pick. It would have taken an extraordinary recruiting effort for the Crimson Tide to pull Smith away from the Buckeyes.

16 teams is the ideal max that I've laid out before.

-No bye week bullshit.
-No Conference Champ games either, unless it can be fit in extra as in starting the schedule a week earlier.
-Eliminate one of the "preseason" games.
-Play 10 conference games, for every conference.
-First 2 rounds on campus. Then major bowl locations for the rest.

Keep money in the communities as long as possible. The corporations are fucking up a great sport.

Presser Bullets: Ryan Day “Fired Up” for Ohio State’s “Monster” Schedule This Season, Julian Sayin Has “A Different Look in His Eye” This Offseason

Ryan Day says Ohio State is “fired up” to play a “monster” schedule this season, Julian Sayin has a “different look in his eye” this year and Jeremiah Smith is finding his voice.

Presser Bullets: Ryan Day “Fired Up” for Ohio State’s “Monster” Schedule This Season, Julian Sayin Has “A Different Look in His Eye” This Offseason​

In his first formal press conference ahead of preseason camp, Ohio State’s head football coach expressed gratitude to now be in his eighth year leading the Buckeyes, said Ohio State is “fired up” to play a “monster” schedule this season and praised the growth of Ohio State stars Jeremiah Smith and Julian Sayin, who joined him at Big Ten Media Days along with Buckeye safety Jaylen McClain.

A quick bullet-point recap of what Day had to say:
  • Going into his eighth year as Ohio State’s head coach, Day says “it’s more of an honor now than it ever has been for me” to be the head coach at Ohio State.
  • Day believes the Big Ten has “great momentum” and is “very well-positioned” for the future. He says commissioner Tony Petitti is a big part of that.
  • Day believes the group of Big Ten coaches is “as strong as it’s ever been.”
  • Day says Ohio State president Ravi Bellamkonda “learns quickly” and “knows more than he lets on” about athletics. He says the Buckeyes are “in great hands” with Bellamkonda as president.
  • On Ohio State’s coaching staff: “I’m obviously biased, but I think it’s the best coaching staff in America.”
  • Day also thanked Ohio State athletic director Ross Bjork, his family and his assistant coaches’ families during his opening statement at Big Ten Media Days.
  • On his son RJ, a class of 2027 quarterback who committed to Northwestern this summer: “I couldn’t be prouder of what he’s done.”
  • Day acknowledges that every coach at Big Ten Media Days says his team had a great summer, “but we have had a great summer.”
  • Day said Ohio State is “fired up” about playing a “monster” schedule this season. Day thinks the schedule will give the Buckeyes “early feedback” on how good they are as a team.
  • Jeremiah Smith has taken a step into a leadership role this offseason, Day said. “It’s great to watch him find his voice.”
  • Julian Sayin has “a different look in his eye” this offseason, Day said. “You see a different person. You see a different body. He’s worked hard. He’s gotten stronger. He’s found his voice even more.”
  • Day said that as much as things have changed this offseason, now we’re getting back into football season, and “that’s what matters.”
  • Day said Sayin has done a great job keeping up with Arthur Smith’s coaching, even though Day acknowledged that Smith is used to coaching NFL quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers rather than less experienced college quarterbacks.
  • Day says the atmosphere has “really changed” at Indiana and that will be a tough road game for Ohio State this season.

Big Ten Likely to Eliminate Championship Game if College Football Playoff Expands to 24 Teams

Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti says the conference "pretty much won't be playing a championship game" if the College Football Playoff expands to 24 teams.

Big Ten Likely to Eliminate Championship Game if College Football Playoff Expands to 24 Teams​

Tony Petitti

With the CFP expected to expand again – this time to 24 teams – the Big Ten is likely to eliminate its conference championship game as part of that transition.

"I think it's pretty much we won't be playing a championship game if we go to 24. That's been pretty settled," Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti said at Big Ten Media Days on Tuesday.

"In terms of when we make decisions as a league, are we going to support 24? That's where you start the conversations – are you willing to give up your championship game to have the expanded playoff? There's discussion about it now, when you talk to the coaches who have played in the game as they get ready for the postseason. There are a lot of conflicting incentives – it's still very powerful to win a Big Ten championship, and teams play hard; they want to win that game. But you're talking about a pretty tough journey to go all the way through. And where you're playing next, and what happens if they lose that game, they don't get a bye, and they have to go play relatively quickly.

"So, we've just gotten past that, and overall, if we can expand the playoff and have the access we need, we'd be willing to make that trade. As great as our championship game is, it's been wildly successful, and we've had incredible games the last couple of seasons. But I still think we're willing to do that because we believe that access is still the most important thing."

Just sayin': I'd rather keep the B1GCG, freeze the CFPs at 16 teams (or less).
