Rutgers’ season continues its off-field downward spiral with word that head coach Kyle Flood will be suspended for three games by the university. Flood appears to have communicated inappropriately with a professor regarding a player’s grades, but what you really need to know are the nine dumbest parts of this whole thing.
Rutgers coach: ‘I am sending personal email to ensure there will be no public vetting.’ Oops!
Good morning! It’s your wakeup roundup of college football stuff, which we can send to your personal email if you like.
Fresh off an upset of Louisville. Ian Boyd is breaking down how the Houston Cougars work, 2-0 under first-year head coach Tom Herman.
Never tell them the odds? BYU won its first two games in dramatic fashion, but what are the Cougars real chances at making the College Football Playoff? The odds are long, but the fact that a 12-0 record would likely mean Playoff is a good sign for independence. (Another good sign: a four-star former Oregon commit committed to the Cougars.)
Boise State lost, but is BSU still the non-power New Year’s favorite? Bill Connelly projects the race, which is nice and crowded.
They say the spread offense bothers Nick Saban. So how’s No. 2 Alabama gonna defend No. 15 Ole Miss’ spread in a revenge game?
This Week in Schadenfreude is pining. Lots of fan bases are thinking coaching change after some rough Week 2 losses (some are even thinking about it after wins). Arkansas and Auburn fans are ready to drunk dial a couple exes:
Bring back Tubberville.
The loaner car strikes. Ole Miss star tackle Laremy Tunsil could miss more time, including this week’s game at Bama, because he was allowed to keep a borrowed car from an Oxford dealership for a while.
In-depth previews of the weekend’s second (?) biggest game for No. 8 Notre Dame fans and for No. 14 Georgia Tech fans.
South Carolina’s new QB: a former grocery store employee. How confident are you, Gamecock fans?
Done laughing at Arkansas for losing to Toledo yet? Buffalo Bills head coach Rex Ryan isn’t.
Hang up the visor? South Carolina is coming off a brutal loss to Kentucky and is heading to Athens to take on Georgia with a backup quarterback. There’s no easy way to ask this, so ... should Steve Spurrier retire?
Just in time for said Kentucky. Florida’s getting two of its most talented players back from injury.
Not an excellent day for the B1G. Two Purdue players arrested, allegedly for trying to steal bicycles.
Week Three Tailgate. Good Bull Hunting has this week’s edition of The Tailgate, its amazing weekly graphical preview of Texas A&M’s matchup.
