A huge week for @FindingDolores, as we are being featured by @ApplePodcasts. We truly appreciate the support! For those unfamiliar, the podcast chronicles a family's 41-year wait for answers after a mother of four disappears in 1979. Listen here: https://t.co/ANcyrvnlgv

UT-Permian Basin LB Tristan Exline is set to enter the portal with 2 years of eligibility, a source told ESPN. A Harlon Hill Award nominee, he earned league defensive player of the year honors and recorded 143 tackles, including 19.5 for loss and 5.5 sacks, 1 INT, 4 QB hurries.

Indiana coach Curt Cignetti on WR Omar Cooper Jr., who left B1G champ game with right lower-leg issue: "We'll know a little bit more as we go. We don't expect it to be anything. We don't think there was anything that happened in the game that will affect our next game."

😬

North Dakota RB Sawyer Seidl is set to enter the portal with 2 years of eligibility, his agency @thebizofathlete tells ESPN. The 5-10, 175-pound Seidl is an all-conference selection with 897 rush yards, 13 TDs, 177 receiving yards, 4 TDs, 306 kick return yds, 1 TD this year.

Really good read from my guy Matt, who outlines how good Notre Dame has it and why the Irish shouldn’t change anything, other than, you know, not starting 0-2.

Steve Sarkisian on the effect ND opting out of its bowl game can have on college football: "I don't know about the ripple effect for everybody. We all have goals and aspirations of winning conference championships and winning national championships, at least we do. But I also

A pathetic second half for the Bears defense. Mistake after mistake.

Sources: Nebraska has agreed to a three-year deal to make San Diego State's Rob Aurich the school's next defensive coordinator. San Diego State finished No. 5 in scoring defense this year at 12.6 ppg, an improvement from up from No. 97 last year at 29.6 ppg.

Utah CB/Nickel Jaylen Moson (@JaylenMoson) is set to enter the portal with 2 years of eligibility, ESPN has learned. The 5-11, 175-pound Moson played sparingly this season after an early injury, but was an all-freshman team selection earlier in his career at Furman.

Baylor statement on potential bowl: “We have declined the opportunity to play in a Bowl, as we've already progressed deeply into the offseason timeline of preparation for the 2026 season.”

All worked out in the end 😂

Bears special teams ... 🤦‍♂️

The practice time is significant for CJ Carr and the key returning players, often much more so than the actual game.

A newsy wrinkle from Bevacqua: As part of an MOU signed last spring, Notre Dame is assured of a CFP berth if it is ranked in the top 12 starting next year. If this year’s situation unfolds next year, the final at-large team (Miami) would have gotten bumped for No. 11 Notre Dame.

Robert Morris LB Eldrick Robinson II is set to enter the transfer portal as a grad transfer, his agent @ZCardenez tells ESPN. Robinson, who also has played at Wake Forest and Georgia Southern, had 52 tackles, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery and 2 PBU this season.

Notre Dame will not participate in the postseason after being snubbed for the CFP. Candidly, I visited South Bend on Friday for a separate story and could sense the tension around the CFP selection. There wasn't going to be a lot of enthusiasm for anything else.

Hunter Yurachek on the Notre Dame-Miami rewatch:

Thinking about the possibility of Oregon-Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl ...

Tulane coach Jon Sumrall points to the Tulane helmet in his office, placed above the Ole Miss helmet (where he served as an assistant coach), and said he hopes things go that way in the CFP 😂

Ryan Day on Brian Hartline's role as offensive coordinator over the next three to four weeks: "He's gonna continue with the same plan. I do think having three, four weeks to prepare for the game will be beneficial. We'll still have everybody involved with it, and we're gonna
