QB 1: 127/225 (56.4%) 1510 yrds, 10 TD, 11 INT, 118 rating. Plus 47 yrds rushing, zero rush TDs. QB 2: 76/139 (64%) 1075 yrds, 2 TD, 5 INT, 117 rating. Plus 114 yrds rushing, 3 rush TDs. Now, before you say, "they're both lousy," QB 2 is a RS JR and QB 1 is a true freshman.
I love listening to BYU’s preseason evaluations: The Cougars are really solid at linebacker. They had the 3rd most-efficient pass defense in the country last year and brought in strong D-line transfers. Offense has an elite WR and strong RB options. But the QB is a question. 6-6.
I’m on something of a trimester system.
What’s a film you watch once a year like it’s a ritual?
One reason you don't take Memphis is because you could get Miami (or more likely Virginia Tech).
Realignment watch: Sources say UNC is among the schools exploring a potential move from the ACC with the SEC as the likely target 👀 Under Chancellor Lee Roberts and incoming AD Steve Newmark, the Tar Heels could be leading the pack alongside Clemson. Via @InsideCarolina

"For more than a century, the regular season was the playoff. One slip up against a 21-point dog in the middle of October could go Freddy Kruger on your national title dreams. That was the entire appeal."
Finally out of hiding, B1G commissioner Tony Petitti defended his radical CFP plan on Tuesday. I think it's important we all understand who he is and what he's trying to turn college football into. footballscoop.com/2025/07/23/ton…
Somehow, it’s very odd to me that original Simpson high school flashbacks are to the Dazed and Confused era. Maybe it’s just that Homer and Marge are decidedly non-Texan.
Over the last 50 years, BYU has appeared in the final AP Poll of the season 13 times, when also unranked in the preseason poll. That's more than any other program.
This is absolutely insane, by the way. Just to be super clear, Ohio State and the Big Ten's messaging is "we won't schedule quality out of conference games unless they don't matter".
Ryan Day, in supporting Tony Petitti’s CFP plan, says they would continue to schedule a 10th game against a P4 foe if there are four AQs. If not, “then I don’t think it makes sense to do that.”
One day honest citizens are going to stand up to you crooked cops. Oh no! Have they set a date?
It's funny to look back at the QB stats in this game. Baylor's season was defined by finding Sawyer Robertson and Utah's was defined (again) by losing Cam Rising. September games are fun, but everything can change at any moment.
This is such a wild game for week 0. Who knows how the tie breakers fall this year, but it’s basically three strikes and you’re out for any chance at the Big 12 title game. Winner of this game gets the inside track and the loser needs to think about how they can go 7-1 or better.
I don't know how I missed this. But Iowa State is a 3 point underdog vs. Kansas State in Week 0 per @CircaSports.
A moment to salute the Utah fans claiming USC as their number 1 rival. Shine on, you crazy diamonds.

Lotta pressure on a 21 year old, but the body language here was bad from the start. Big breath. Look down. Look up. Look off to the side. Big breath again. Soft kick. Germany was a lot better at penalties than Sweden this week.

Lose-lose situation. BYU will be starting a less experienced QB. Retzlaff (if playing at all) will be playing in a lower profile situation.
Team list according to Crawford. Crawford also mentioned that Jake is willing to be a backup at a P4 like FSU.
