Honest to god- I’m more upset that the Notre Dame-Michigan rivalry ended, but I understand my own geographical bias fueling my ultimate hatred for Wolverines above all other opponents.

All college football fans—from Oklahoma fans to Notre Dame fans to Georgia Southern fans—all college football fans should be throwing shade at USC for wanting to end the Notre Dame-USC rivalry.

Let's hope Notre Dame Stadium throws that shade loudly, repeatedly and insultingly.

Back-to-back scoreless weeks AT HOME from Wisconsin.
I don't know what is worse than this, but ... it can always get worse.

The Wisconsin Team Total this weekend is 7.5 with the odds suggesting a 61.5% chance the Badgers do not score more than seven points.

It can always get worse.

I backed the wrong Wildcats last week.
Not a mistake I will make this week. I know to doubt Kentucky, and

Notre Dame has a couple reasons to take it to USC this weekend.
The Trojans' cowardice.
Chad Bowden's mouth.
Playoff hopes.
Soooooo ... let's find a CJ Carr touchdown ...

After 99 years, this could be the last USC vs. Notre Dame game.
Shame on you, Trojans.
Shame on you, Lincoln Riley.

Memphis giving up a 7-play, 75-yard drive in 70 seconds before halftime to UAB should rule out Ryan Silverfield for any and all Power Four jobs.

No one I would rather see running a two-QB offense direct snapping to running backs than Lane Kiffin.

So bookmakers expect Ohio State to show Luke Fickell mercy, huh?

Ohio State may need only four touchdowns to cover this spread, given how woeful the Badgers offense has become. It manages a quality drive on just one third of its possessions, the 30th-lowest rate in the country. And then Wisconsin scores just 2.98 points per quality drive, ranking No. 90 in the country, which is utterly embarrassing when recognizing the obvious that a mere field goal would improve that plight.

Don’t count on the field goals this weekend: The Buckeyes rank No. 1 in the country in points allowed per quality drive against, at just 1.3.

Illinois put up some points late against Ohio State, scoreboard massaging more than anything else. Wisconsin does not have an offense capable of even that.

Genuinely not sure I have ever seen a "No Team Touchdown" prop as low as +125 like Wisconsin is today.

Nice 3rd-and-10 little pitch from Nuss.
But did he reach for his hamstring a little afterward?

Douglas Farmer @douglasfarmer.bsky.social · 7h

I can already see the July and August headlines citing Duke's turnover luck and second-order wins as a reason to back the Blue Devils.

Hell, I might write one of them.

No beer, just loathing, in Las Vegas: At the BYU-Utah Holy War in Sin City

The rivalry that divides a state and heavily involves a major church asks you to pick a side, but it’s not quite so simple.
