PODCAST ALERT: I hopped back on the GameDay pod to talk about Oregon's "put up or shut up" week, the fun strength-on-strength and weakness-on-weakness matchups of LSU-SC, and why GameDay chose the WRONG DAMN COLUMBIA, smh. open.spotify.com/episode/678ulq… youtu.be/7EQ5lmKaAn8

Really interesting that they're trying to piecemeal things instead of just importing the whole MWC. I assume UNLV still gets the call, but will they try to rope in a couple of Texas schools (UTSA/TXST)? The Dakota State duo?

A Mizzou-BC headliner (hell yes)! Milroe vs TVD! SEC triple header! Rain in Corvallis! Apple Cup! Backyard Brawl! A wild Friday night in Kansas! UCF-TCU's gonna be so silly! Chaos superfecta! Week 3 playlist! GREAT DANES-VANDALS! WEEK 3 MEGAPREVIEW: espn.com/college-footba…

Alabama's Kalen DeBoer, Kansas' Lance Leipold, K-State's Chris Klieman and Houston's Willie Fritz all got their starts outside of the limelight. Wrote about the increased rise of small-school coaches, who are set up to handle the biggest jobs in CFB. espn.com/college-footba…

Port Adelaide beats Hawthorn to reach the final four -- sorry, "prelim finals" -- in one of the best damn AFL games I've seen. Gripping stuff.

After 3 matchdays and, like, 1,400 minor personnel moves, Ryan O'Hanlon and I re-ranked the Premier League. Liverpool hops Arsenal, Brighton's awesome, Newcastle is all smoke and mirrors, and ... gross, Everton. espn.com/soccer/insider…

Granted, rain left the Corvallis forecast the moment I tweeted this (sorry), but ... still going to be a fun Saturday.
