I decided to review the 100 closest games by point spread on Drew Pasteur’s Fantastic 50 website. I also added a couple games into the respective honorable mention districts due to out-of-state opponents being featured. My apologies for having this out a little late. I’ve been ‘under the weather’ for a while now.
Welcome back for another edition of The 10 Best Games to See in Ohio. As we get midway through the regular season, conference play has begun and the playoff picture is starting to develop. Last week, we had seven of the ten featured games decided by 10 points or less. Let’s hope we can improve on that.
Welcome back everyone for the beginning of the 2026 high school football season. I’m excited to get back on the sidelines to cover some games in the coming weeks.
During the season, I do not make any picks or predictions publicly in case I end up getting sent to cover that game on short notice. That being said, the following series of articles are my preseason predictions to win all 28 regions, and my picks for state champions in each of the seven divisions in OHSAA 11-man football this season. There will be seven articles—one for every OHSAA division.
Lots of great games this week. A lot of conference titles are up for grabs still throughout the area and state.
I want to thank ohiohshelmets.com for the work that they do over there. Without their hard work, these articles wouldn’t have the great graphics that I make every week for these matchups. So thank you.
Another great week of tough matchups to choose from.
