Oklahoma State fired Mike Gundy. Now, the administration must settle on a realistic choice which also makes its fanbase happy. The good news, Cody Stovall and I discuss the short list of head coaching names. Look for the Cowboys to hire their next head coach from this list. It won’t be as long as some might believe. @fbscout_florida  On X @LO_ThePortal  TikTok @lockedontheportal Support us by supp...

Indiana playing at Oregon and having College GameDay there is more than a big deal. The Hoosiers arrive in the national spotlight and are a bona fide national program.

With Florida soundly defeating Texas, Billy Napier saved his job, for now. An upcoming trip to Texas A&M will further help Napier continue to be the head coach of the Gators, but he’s certainly seen star recruits turn up their game.
