THE 10 BEST GAMES TO SEE IN OHIO - WEEK 10 By Kyle Holsinger Well, we made it to the last week of the regular season, and I’m interested to see who plays who in the playoffs when the Ohio High School Athletic Association announces it on Sunday. There has been some top notch football […]
Welcome back for our seventh installment of The 10 Best Games to See in Ohio. Five of the ten games picked last week were settled by 10 points or less. Let’s get right to the featured games.
Welcome back, y’all! Most teams are getting into their conference play, and we’re starting to see teams develop and grow from the first week of the season.
For the first three weeks, I use teams win-loss record from last season as a factor to decide which games to pick so this is the first time this year that this year’s win-loss count has been factored.
Welcome back and thanks for reading! With all the data needed to write these articles, there is not a realistic way to write these particular articles by Monday. The 10 Best Games to See in Ohio will be a Wednesday release from now on.
Let’s get right to it. We got some exciting games this week…
My apologies for getting the article out late this week. The spreadsheet that I use to compile all of the data—which will be known as The Database—is being reworked to help me make these articles and properly rank these teams.
I think I’ve got closer to getting better picks for the games. I’ve listened to all of the feedback since last season.
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.
Welcome back everyone! Thanks again to Drew Pasteur's Fantastic 50, Joe Eitel, MaxPreps, 247sports, OhioHSHelmts, and many others who make this article possible. Thanks to Nate Mullins of Heart of Ohio Sports for allowing me a platform to write this article each week. Finally, thank YOU for reading. I'm considering doing a playoff edition next week, but we'll see who all gets in locally.
So, I dialed back competitiveness to 33.3% with rankings, combined wins, and top recruits to 22.2% each. We’ll see how this week turns out. My sources for the data and information used to compile the game list is JoeEitel.com, fantastic50.net, 247sports.com, and maxpreps.com along with individual school or league websites. Also, the honorable mention for the state games will now be one game per district to try to feature at least one game from each district in the state.
We’re already to week three of the season, and we’ve seen some great football so far. I wanted to let the reader know that over the last couple seasons that I’ve wrestled with how to properly rank out-of-state opponents for matchups. I’ve also wrestled with ranking them in the top five of the state or just keeping them as honorable mention.
Welcome back everyone for the beginning of the 2025 high school football season. I’m excited to get back on the sidelines to cover some games in the coming weeks.
