See ESPN Rankings. Are they paying extra or something to get their name highlighted? Does ESPN want to make sure that everyone remembers they are eligible for post-season this year?
OSU doesn’t appear highlighted when I view the page. Did you search for Ohio and then click on the link from your search engine? That might cause the phrase to be highlighted.
I clicked on the link you have in the OP. No name is highlighted for me.
That is so bizarre. Now that you’ve mentioned it, I’ve checked the ESPN rankings from work and home on probably a dozen computers over this season. Some have it highlighted every time and some don’t. It isn’t a search engine highlight though, it is a gold bar on their line of the ranking screen only.
Nevermind, I figured it out. One of my co-workers was signed in to his myESPN account on this computer (and presumably some others around work). Apparently he is a The Ohio State fan [spit]. I’ve signed him out and the highlight disappeared, thank god!
