COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Ohio State University, the defending national college football champion, will open the current season as the first-ever unanimous No. 1 pick in the history of the Associated Press preseason poll. AP began doing the preseason rankings in 1950.
OSU got all 61 first-place votes. TCU was ranked second, followed by Alabama, Baylor and Michigan.
Oddly, OSU has been named the No. 1 team in the preseason eight times never won the national title when so honored the seven previous times, though the Buckeyes did finish second twice.

The Dodgers have lost five straight games.
