Ryan Day says CFP format, automatic bids impacting Ohio State's future schedule
The college football world will be blessed with a premier matchup between Texas and Ohio State to open the 2025 college football season. But while fans are in for a treat for the matchup between the 2024 defending national champion Buckeyes and the up-and-coming Longhorns led by sensation Arch Manning, more of these marquee matchups could be off the table if there is no change in conference schedules and the format of the current College Football Playoff. REQUIRED READING: The absurdity of absolute power. Big Ten, SEC fight to shape College Football Playoff Speaking at Big Ten media days on July 22, Day talked about future scheduling of out-of-conference games and how it could be impacted with a lack of automatic berths in the current 12-team College Football Playoff. 'If we're not going to do that, I don't think it makes sense to do that,' Day said. 'You have your nine conference games and schedule other nonconference games that aren't in the Power Four.' Despite saying that, Ohio State's upcoming matchups against SEC powerhouses Alabama and Georgia appear to be safe. The Buckeyes are scheduled to play the Crimson Tide in 2027 and 2028, and the Bulldogs in 2030 and 2031. OSU begins a home-and-home with Texas this season. 'What's scheduled is scheduled,' Day said. The Buckeyes have recently added games against Navy and Youngstown State ― a Football Championship Subdivision member ― for the 2029 season. A big reason for the philosophy from Day and the Buckeyes for a "softer" out-of-conference schedule is the number of conference games played by each of the Power 4 conferences. Like the Big Ten, the Big 12 also plays nine conference games; meanwhile, the ACC and SEC have schedules with eight conference games. 'Until there's continuity between conferences, if you're in the Big Ten, it would make no sense to have anything other than a case to have four automatic qualifiers and an expanded pool of teams,' Day said, 'because when you play nine conference games, it's not the same as someone who plays eight conference games. If you're going to be compared against that, it's just not the same.' No team ever made the four-team CFP field with more than two losses between 2014 and 2023. In the new 12-team format last season, Alabama became the first team with three losses to make the field over a two-loss team in Miami. Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti's plan for a 16-team bracket that would secure four spots for the Big Ten and another four for the SEC has not gained approval and would need to be implemented before the Dec. 1 deadline to be added for the 2026 season. 'There's no reason to schedule until you have clarity,' Ohio State athletic director Ross Bjork said. 'You could say we're in a holding pattern.'

Hawks, Blues earn timely boost as Suns lose star Rioli
Hawthorn young gun Will Day will make his long-awaited AFL comeback against Carlton as the Blues welcome back Harry McKay. Day has not played since round three after suffering a stress fracture in his foot. With just five rounds until finals, star midfielder Day's return is a timely boost for top-four hopefuls Hawthorn. The 23-year-old will be out to make up for lost time, having been kept to 16 games last year due to injury. He had averaged 23 disposals and 5.3 clearances this year before his foot problem arose. Key forward Mabior Chol faces a test to return, while question marks remain over Josh Weddle (back) and Finn Maginness (kidney). As the club awaits scans on Weddle, Maginness appears unlikely to feature again this season after requiring surgery for a kidney laceration following the Hawks' win over Port Adelaide at UTAS Stadium. "Finn's still down in Tasmania with family and seeing specialists and getting the best advice," Hawthorn high performance boss Peter Burge said. "We'll hopefully get him back to Melbourne towards the end of this week." McKay is set to be able to turn out to farewell retiring club champion Sam Docherty after recovering from minor surgery for a nagging knee issue. The 27-year-old, who hasn't played since round 11, is available alongside Lewis Young (ankle). Elsewhere, Gold Coast star Daniel Rioli will undergo surgery to his left fibula ahead of the QClash against the second-placed Brisbane Lions. The three-time premiership Tiger, who joined the Suns this season, could miss up to six weeks. Rioli, who injured the medial collateral ligament in his left knee during pre-season, hurt his leg in the second quarter of the Suns' 61-point loss to Adelaide. Gold Coast, still chasing a maiden finals appearance, have slid to eighth on the ladder after being held goalless in the opening half by the Crows. Rioli joins midfielder Touk Miller (hamstring) on the sidelines. Miller, whose return timeline has been adjusted to "short-term", is expected to remain out of action for two weeks. Gold Coast could at least welcome back Sam Collins (calf) and Lachie Weller (cork), while Brisbane veteran Dayne Zorko (foot soreness) is available to play. Melbourne's Tom Sparrow is also on target to make his return against St Kilda, after recovering from a concussion he suffered in a contest with suspended North Melbourne ruckman Tristan Xerri.

Samyukt Kisan Morcha to mark Aug 13 as 'Corporations Quit India' day
The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) on Monday said it would observe August 13 as 'Corporations Quit India' day, as it warned of a major "showdown" on November 26, marking five years of the historic farmers' protest at Delhi's borders. SKM leaders in a press conference said the agitation will be over their long-standing demands of a guaranteed MSP based on the Swaminathan commission's recommendation, loan waivers, privatisation, as well as land acquisitions happening across the country, and against the trade deal with the US. All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) leader Vijoo Krishnan said 106 delegates from 37 farmer organisations from 12 states participated in the meeting held on Sunday. "SKM will observe 13th August 2025 as 'Corporations Quit India' Day throughout the country," Krishnan said. Raminder Singh Patiala of Kirti Kisan Union expressed his concern at the land pooling issue in Punjab and land acquisitions across the country. "On August 13, we will hold vehicle and tractor parades, and burn effigies as a mark of protest. Public meetings will be held between August 15 and November 26, and on November 26, a big showdown will happen," he said. On the trade deal under negotiation with the US, Prem Singh Gehlawat of All India Kisan Mahasabha said, "It will be a death knell for our dairy farmers, and it will hurt farmers as well as the MSMEs." In a statement, the SKM said its agitation will serve as a warning to the BJP-led NDA government which, it alleged, was capitualting to the US pressure to increase imports of food and dairy items, GM foods, and allowing the entry of the multinational corporations in food markets. "Peasants will raise the slogan 'Corporations Quit India' on 13th August 2025 by organizing tractor/motor vehicle parades and protest demonstrations and burn effigies of the US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi," it said. SKM units in Punjab will hold tractor rallies in all districts on July 30 and a massive 'mahapanchayat' on August 24 against the AAP government's new land pooling policy. On November 26, SKM will hold "massive worker-farmer protest action at New Delhi as well as in the state capitals," it said. The farmers' collective also demanded that the government withdraw the ban on ten-year-old tractors in the NCR region. In the poll-bound Bihar, the SKM said it will reach out to the people against the "anti-farmer" BJP. "The SKM leadership will visit Bihar in September 2025 as part of the campaign to Punish BJP- NDA for their corporate policies, and the details will be worked out by the SKM SCC of Bihar," it said. The issue of Special Intensive Revision taking place in Bihar was also raised in the meeting, and a demand for its withdrawal was raised.
