Kyle Whittingham’s Ohio State Comments Spark Michigan Rivalry Debate | The Blue Print

Kyle Whittingham won’t call it “hatred”? On this week's episode of the Blue Print, Jake Butt and Devin Gardner share their thoughts on Coach's comments about the Michigan–Ohio State rivalry. Does a Wolverines head coach need to embrace the hate? And could those words could come back to bite him if Michigan doesn’t beat the Buckeyes? Then the gloves come off in the growing Big Ten–SEC feud! Jake calls the SEC one of the biggest losers of media day, while Devin argues that the conference’s past dominance was fueled largely by cheating. And finally, Jake and Devin size up a loaded Big Ten as Indiana, Ohio State and Oregon all enter 2026 as worthy title challengers. We'll rank the conference's top 3 teams and explain why USC and Penn State enter this season as two of the Big 10's most intriguing programs.
