Independence is part of Notre Dame’s lure, and as other conferences have been adding teams, the Irish have continued to say on their own path. A very interesting rumor has circulated social media, one that most likely doesn’t hold much water, but still caught plenty of eyes.

College football seems to be getting less patient every year, and what used to be a long runway for coaches at the top programs in the country has been shortened to a launch pad.

After receiver decommitment Dakorien Moore pledged to Oregon last week, LSU went back to the drawing board as it looks to add a top receiver recruit to the 2025 class.

The Oklahoma Sooners have honed in on another offensive target for the 2026 Recruiting Class.

The Baltimore Ravens have plenty of college football standouts on their team. Players such as Kyle Hamilton, Roquan Smith, Zay Flowers, and others were known for their incredible college production, but no more than quarterback Lamar Jackson on the Baltimore roster. In the football world, there hasn’t been as anticipated of a video game as EA Sports’ “College Football 25”. …

For all the respect Kansas State football received in Big 12 preseason polls going into Tuesday’s media day in Las Vegas, the Wildcats did not get much love individually.

Among the targets on Hubert Davis and the North Carolina Tar Heels’ 2025 recruiting big board is five-star forward Nate Ament. The Tar Heels joined the recruitment a little late for the forward, offering him in May after watching him for months.

Here’s a pretty effective snapshot of the current landscape of college football: Former Wisconsin Badgers defensive coordinator and current Baylor Bears head coach Dave Aranda spoke bluntly at the ongoing Big 12 media days about how his program has found recent success on the class of 2025 recruiting trail. “We’re paying players,” Aranda said.

I don’t need the gift of clairvoyance to know Georgia football will be picked No. 1 when the media vote next week to predict the SEC standings. Kirby Smart’s Bulldogs are the new Alabama, especially with Nick Saban retired. Pencil in UGA at No. 1. No need to overthink this. The better question is, which team will be ranked No. …
