One of the most anticipated non-CFP bowl games takes place on Friday between Minnesota and Virginia Tech. It’s the 2025 Duke’s Mayo Bowl, and per tradition — as well as sponsorship arrangement — the winning coach will get a giant jar of mayonnaise dumped on his head. It could be either Minnesota’s P.J. Fleck, who has led his team to …

Texas’ 39-31 win over Arizona State in double overtime at the Peach Bowl on New Year’s Day was an instant classic, by far the best game of the inaugural …
