2015’s football catch of the year is here. Thank you for participating. Show’s over.

Good morning! It’s time for your wakeup roundup of college football stuff.

WOW. No. 15 Stanford steamrolled No. 18 UCLA 56-35, but the thing you really need to know is the Cardinal's Francis Owusu made one of the most ridiculous catches you'll ever see. Remember how, as soon as you saw Odell Beckham Jr.'s catch last year, you knew no other catch could top it? Yeah.

Woof. Auburn outlasted Kentucky 30-27, but the real story was just how thoroughly boring and average Auburn has become. They look like the ghost of the 2013 team that made it to the national title game. The most notable thing that happened was Kentucky putting eight players on the field for a punt, and Auburn actually going through with the kick.

Gus Malzahn honored Steve Spurrier by going without his trademark visor, and the one he would’ve worn is being donated to help support flood relief in South Carolina.

Huh? The viral video of Bret Bielema engaging in some theatrics when bumped by an Alabama player was shot by a production staffer contracted out by ESPN.

Nothing good could have come from Steve Sarkisian’s time at USC. The Trojans had no other choice.

Can Utah keep this up? A Kyle Whittingham team loaded with veterans can keep up anything it pleases.

Michigan State has recent history on its side. But Michigan’s the better team.

Still painting. Michigan fans seem to have spray painted another Michigan State statue this year ahead of their showdown, this time tagging a statue of Magic Johnson. Someone got to the statue of RG3 on Baylor’s campus last week, so if your favorite school has a statue somewhere on campus, maybe it’s time to stand guard.

Another one? USC has a wish list for its head coaching vacancy, and Ravens head coach John Harbaugh is reportedly on that list. This is your periodic reminder that it’s kind of crazy to willingly ditch an NFL job for college.

The current favorites to land the USC job, at least, according to the oddsmakers? Kyle Whittingham and Chip Kelly. (Kelly says the only team that’s contacted him is something called “the North Texas State Armadillos.”)

As for South Carolina, Kirby Smart, Justin Fuente and Ed Orgeron are the top betting names.

Some rebuild, huh? Florida State was supposed to take a step back in 2015. Instead, the Noles look like they could make another run at the Playoff.

Original! Jeb Bush’s coozies have a somewhat familiar logo on them.

Gamblin’. Here are 20 absolutely ironclad wagers for this weekend’s action.
