It's always fun to get excited about a game years in advance -- and that's exactly what SMU fans should be doing now! SMU Football announced Wednesday that it will be playing the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in 2026.

A Football team generally doesn't help or hurt their standing during a bye week, but this weekend it happened twice. Colorado was not in action, but they moved up to third place in the Big 12 because Kansas State was upset by Houston.

The first-year executive director of the College Football Playoff attended Notre Dame ’s opening night win at Texas A&M during Labor Day weekend, as the former Lieutenant General in the Air Force fills the role Bill Hancock occupied the previous 12 seasons. If the new 12-team CFP has a spokesman, it’s Clark.
