2024 Season: Are You Ready For Some Football?

Big facts. I know climbers use that exercise a lot to build their grip strength - excellent inclusion here. That pain is real, any sort of static holds/hangs are brutal. Starts at the hands and just works its way through everything els.
They say grip strength is a better measure of overall health than blood pressure. These guys look like they won’t be letting jerseys go when making a tackle.

College football rankings: Each preseason top-25 team's make-or-break factors for 2024

Success hinges on these key elements for college football's best teams.​


5. Ohio State Buckeyes: Winning Playoff games

It would take a monumental collapse for Ohio State to miss the 12-team Playoff given the surreal amounts of talent Ryan Day both acquired and kept on campus in the offseason’s early stages. Expectations will be at an all-time high for his tenure next season. Day must improve upon his 1-3 record in CFP games — and perhaps even win the national championship — in order to appease the Buckeyes’ fanbase.

College football's 24 most important games of 2024 season​

1. MICHIGAN AT OHIO STATE, NOV. 30

This game ranked as the No. 1 most-anticipated showdown this time a year ago ahead of the 2023 season and it delivered, two unbeatens that went wire to wire at the Big House. The stakes should be usually high in 2024 as the Buckeyes try and snap a three-game skid to their rival in hopes of getting to the Big Ten Championship. Playoff expansion benefits both the Buckeyes and Wolverines, by the way. Double-digit wins for either, given the schedule strength, should give each a golden ticket inside the top 12.

6. OHIO STATE AT OREGON, OCT. 12

It's hard to believe this is a conference game in 2024, isn't? Welcome to college football's new era. This one drips with conference championship and College Football Playoff implications given the expected strengths of two teams coming into the season with loaded rosters. Dan Lanning and Ryan Day are two coaches next in line to win their first titles if they pull the right strings in the coming years. Ohio State's 9-1 all-time against the Ducks, the lone loss coming in Columbus during the 2021 season.

12. Ohio State at Penn State, Nov. 2

When are the Nittany Lions going to end their losing skid to the Buckeyes? Ohio State beat Penn State seven-straight seasons, including double-digit victories in each of the past two trips to Happy Valley. This should be one of college football's most raucous atmospheres next fall and is certainly a game both teams will have circled in terms of importance.
