- Source: USC and UCLA are planning to leave for the Big Ten as early as 2024. Move *has not been finalized* at the highest levels of power.
- ESPN's Quint Kessenich just noted that Colorado has had no cupcakes on the sked and "heavyweights every week" TCU: 3-3 Neb: 3-3 CSU: 2-3 ASU: 1-5 Stanford: 1-4
- Source: Don't assume the Big Ten is done.
- Let's be clear: WSU didn't fire Rolovich. Rolovich fired Rolovich. He alone is completely responsible for losing his position as the head football coach at Washington State University. Nobody else. And who suffers? The players.
- In last 55 weeks ... UW 37, Oregon 34 UW 36, Oregon 33 UW 34, Oregon 31 ... What a series
- "Like, shut up! Washington State, about sick of you!" An absolutely trash comment from McAfee.Earlier this week, Wazzu head coach Jake Dickert and former QB Ryan Leaf criticized College GameDay for turning Oregon State-Washington State into a joke. Pat McAfee appeared to respond this morning. And then some.
00:00 - Top five in the Big 12 preseason media poll with current conference record: 1 Utah (1-4) 2 Kansas St (4-1) 3 Okl St (0-5) 4 Kansas (1-4) 5 Arizona (1-4)
- The arc of the college football universe bends toward humility. He's a terrific player. Hopefully, he'll learn, mature and flourish at the next level.
- Reminder that Big Ten expansion in '22 was entirely driven by Fox, just as SEC expansion in '21 was entirely driven by ESPN. They are the grandmasters calling the shots behind the scenes. (This message will repeat tomorrow morning)
- Utah has beaten USC 34-32 in the Coliseum with a QB who was a walk-on, a TB who is a safety and a HC who is a wizard
