Wake Forest DL Mateen Ibirogba to Texas Tech. The 6-3, 300-pounder made PFF’s Mid-Season All-American Team. Tech’s already landed the top QB and DT in the Portal. More proof on why the balance of power in the sport has changed so much: www.nytimes.com/athletic/693...

Love the FCS National Title Game sliding into the Monday Night Football slot. It's really good football.

“Hard to ignore the fact that when everyone got to pay players, it leveled the playing field immediately. They can deny all they want, but that’s a fact.” Looking forward to joining Finebaum at 4 PM ET on SEC Network to discuss this story on the SEC: www.nytimes.com/athletic/693...

SOURCES: Toledo’s Derek Sagę is expected to join the Washington State staff as the Cougars special teams coordinator and WR coach. Sage who had been STC at UCLA, coached the wide receivers at WAZZU in 2017.

There were 20 QBs invited to the Elite 11 in 2023. These quarterbacks have been in college for two seasons and 16 of them have now either entered the transfer portal or have already moved on to another program. Five of them are moving on to their third college. www.nytimes.com/athletic/461...

The Raiders have fired head coach Pete Carroll.

“There needs to be an evaluation of this narrative of the SEC is these big, bad motherf*ckers, because they’re getting their asses whipped in these games.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/693...

This is wild. North Central has played in 6 straight D-III national title games, winning 3. Wisconsin-River Falls is in the playoffs for the first time since 1996, had 19 straight losing seasons until 2021. UWRF leads 24-14 the national title game with 8:44 left. www.nytimes.com/athletic/693...

Cincinnati transfer QB Brendan Sorsby has committed to Texas Tech, two sources confirmed to @theathletic.com . Sorsby was the No. 1 player in our transfer QB rankings. Was the Red Raiders' primary target at the position from the start. Tech got their guy. nyti.ms/4pHon4B

A name to watch for Clemson as Dabo Swinney looks for Garrett Riley's replacement as the Tigers next OC: Chad Morris, who took the 2025 season off to watch his son Chandler play QB at Virginia: www.nytimes.com/athletic/674...

Great example of why Indiana has gotten so good, via DB coach Ola Adams: The portal era has created new opportunities and new challenges, he said. But it’s never been more important in the sport to be so detailed: www.nytimes.com/athletic/693...

New Audible: Trinidad Chambliss & Ole Miss put on a spectacular show beating Georgia. Are the Rebels better without Lane Kiffin? @ralphdrussoath.bsky.social & I discuss that, Miami’s big win over Ohio State + IU’s blowout of Bama & Oregon blanking Texas Tech: m.youtube.com/watch?v=RdVS...

Curt Cignetti’s Hoosiers dominated Alabama with an Indiana team that looked—and played—like the Bama of old. My story from a surreal day at the Rose Bowl: www.nytimes.com/athletic/693...

Heisman Jinx? CFP Bye jink? Apparently not when Curt Cignetti's involved. Mendoza starts out 7 of 8 for 76 yards and a TD. Great catch by Charlie Becker who has emerged as a star over the past month, posting three 100-yard games over IU's last four. www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...

Some pre-game Rose Bowl reading on the dominant Indiana defense, which shut down Dante Moore and Julian Sayin; and has the best Red Zone D in a decade. Here's what makes Bryant Haines group such a handful: www.nytimes.com/athletic/692...

Miami made history last night. Check out all our wonderful coverage here. So lucky to be part of this staff www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...

Mario Cristobal set out to build the biggest bully in college football when he took over the Miami program 4 YRs ago. Tonight, his Canes bullied the defending national champs especially when it mattered most, in the final 6 minutes, running it 8 times on a 10-play TD drive to knockout the Buckeyes.

Ohio State's best drive of the game by far. Buckeyes O-line with a good response as they found something in the run game. Buckeyes ran it for 35 yards on seven carries after minus 2 rushing yards in the first half. Game on: www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...

Text from a Big Ten coach just now: "Told you I was worried about Ohio state’s OL. Buckeyes look like a heavyweight fighter that got dinged for the first time." Join us on our live Miami-Ohio State blog: www.nytimes.com/athletic/liv...

Anthony Poindexter who was Penn State's co-DC and safeties coach the past five years, is a strong candidate to join the Tennessee staff as a co-DC, per source, following Jim Knowles who is taking over the Vols defense.

Arch Manning's been exceptional today, making so many impressive plays with his arm and his legs. You can see why folks inside the Texas football program have been so excited about him.

Former five-star WR recruit Dallas Wilson opts to stay at Florida. Sources told @theathletic.com that Wilson likely would’ve been able to command between $1M-$1.5 million if he had entered the transfer portal: www.nytimes.com/athletic/693...
