College football itself — the product on the field — is bulletproof. And now it comes with the story of a lifetime.
Indiana is flippin' champs!

“That might be the best moment of my life. It’s up there, for sure.”
“A Heisman moment."
“It’s just going to be on repeat in my head for the rest of my life."
How #iufb teammates will remember Fernando Mendoza 4th-down TD run:
From a backup in HS to the nation's leading passer.

"You can’t tell me there’s a better player in college football right now than Jacob Rodriguez.”
@usatodaysports.usatoday.com went to Lubbock for the story on one of the most unlikely Heisman candidates.

Florida unveiled its 2025 national championship banner in the rafters Thursday.
The Gators also unveiled a player tall enough to reach into the rafters.

No search firm needed. Some sensible AD work here filling college football's biggest coaching openings:

Georgia Tech is unbeaten midway through the season, riding the toughness of its QB who just won’t give up. Play after play, game after game, draining every last ounce out of "I’ll Show You."

A few weeks ago, UCLA was a punchline.
They're not laughing in State College or East Lansing.

Colorado expected a $50K fine for field rush. And despite one student trying to steal an Iowa State player's helmet and another student getting pinned under the goalposts, the Big 12 said, "We're all good here."
Here's why:

In a week’s time, Arch Manning flipped the script. He’s now a sympathetic figure. He’s the comeback kid.
More on #HookEm QB's appreciation of the free press:
You've undoubtedly seen plenty of Curt Cignetti on #PennState coaching hot boards.
Cignetti is a lot of things. Cocky. Savvy. Strategic. A virtuoso. One thing he’s not: a fool.
On #iufb coach knowing he's in better situation now:
Week 7 college football Flop 10:
⚫ Penn State... again
⚫ Luke Fickell is cooked
⚫ Sour birthday for Mike Norvell
⚫Oregon State still winless
... and more!
Arch Manning the first flop in college football history? Sure, if this marked the first season of college football history.
Our society takes glee in seeing people fail, but we also love a good comeback story. You're up, Arch.
“This is an anomaly and something that is the first of its kind. There is absolutely nothing to compare this to.”
Inside Bill Belichick's 'first of its kind' escape hatch in UNC contract:
Bill Belichick and #UNC are 0-3 vs. Power Four opponents, having been outscored 120-33.
On to Cal? More like on to basketball season.
That and more in Week 6's Flop 10:
There's some interesting stuff in this #NIL SAFE Act. Here's a big one:
Don't like where you got drafted? Go back to college.
Sam Pittman is cooked. So who will be next for #GoHogs #WPS?
An early look at 6 potential candidates:
The team that was easy to overanalyze and criticize in 2024 is back and better than ever in 2025.
This #iufb team is more complete and dangerous than last year’s group, and it’s not sneaking up on anyone.
"While Dabo Swinney shamelessly plays the victim card, Clemson fans have every right to be fuming mad. Swinney's pathetic rant became the appetizer to another lousy performance."
Some 🔥 from Blake Toppmeyer:
#iufb was the biggest riser in @usatodaysports.usatoday.com's 1-136 re-rank.
A 53-point beatdown of a top-10 team will do that.
Latest Coaches Confidential via @kyleneddenriep.bsky.social:
How prevalent is recruiting/undue influence in high school football?
"Rampant."
"It’s sick."
"It's very discouraging especially for those committed to doing things the right way."
#iubb's offense will be completely opposite under Darian DeVries than Mike Woodson. That's be design.
@zachosterman.bsky.social explains why:
Sophie Cunningham said she didn't have an issue with fans booing DeWanna Bonner, but she did have an issue with how Bonner left #Fever.
This stat really puts in perspective how far the #Fever have come:
Indiana is 4 games over .500 for the first time in TEN years!
And there's room for more:
Tucker DeVries is the closest thing Indiana has to a returner from last season, and he's done this before. Here's how he helps his father build Indiana into the first season of the Darian DeVries era: www.indystar.com/story/sports... via @indystar #iubb
After injuries, trades and free agency moves, the East is wide open. Where does that leave the reigning Eastern Conference champion #Pacers?
@dustindopirak.bsky.social resets the East power rankings:
