Colorado announces dates for 2025 homecoming game, family weekend
Dates for two of Colorado football's biggest in-season weekends have been set. On Friday, the Buffaloes announced their family weekend will come on Sept. 20 and their annual homecoming game will follow on Nov. 1.
With family members of students flocking to Boulder, the Buffs' family weekend typically yields one of the largest home crowds of the season. This year, the Wyoming Cowboys' first trip to Folsom Field in 16 years will coincide with family weekend.
Colorado's homecoming game on Nov. 1 will come against the Arizona Wildcats, who last visited Boulder in 2023 while the two teams were still members of the Pac-12.
The Buffs' 2024 homecoming game saw one of the most memorable moments in program history when Shedeur Sanders connected with LaJohntay Wester for a game-tying Hail Mary against the Baylor Bears. Soon-to-be Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter then forced a fumble in overtime to seal a win in Colorado's first game back in the Big 12.

CBS Sports suggests Bucs land former starter as backup for Baker Mayfield
CBS Sports suggests Bucs land former starter as backup for Baker Mayfield Baker Mayfield is the bona fide starter for the Bucs, make no mistake about it. The veteran quarterback is coming off a career year where he set new highs in several key statistical categories, and they kept the continuity going in the quarterback room when they re-signed Kyle Trask to a one-year deal this offseason. But could they look to shake things up despite the return of the former Florida Gator and Heisman Trophy finalist? Cody Benjamin of CBS Sports wrote about some Post-June 1 trade candidates, one of which was Titans former starter Will Levis. The former Kentucky Wildcat finds himself on the outside looking in after the team drafted Cam Ward with the first overall pick in April's NFL Draft. Benjamin projects a trade to the Bucs and cites the cap savings for the Titans as the main reason. "The Tennessee Titans aren't rushing to move on from the former second-round pick, at least publicly, but ever since the club's new regime spent this year's No. 1 overall pick on Cam Ward, the writing has been on the wall. Could coach Brian Callahan retain the big-armed youngster as Ward's backup? Perhaps. But the Titans could save $1.6 million by trading Levis after June 1, whereas a trade or release prior to June 1 would've only saved the franchise about $600,000." Getting a more proven backup with starting experience isn't the worst idea for someone with Baker Mayfield's play style. Josh Grizzard has spoken about Mayfield protecting himself better in 2025, but in the event that accidents happen, since it is the NFL, having someone like Levis doesn't hurt. Not to mention, his play style also matches up well with that of the Bucs.

Heisman winners Ingram, Newton, Griffin are among players on College Football Hall of Fame ballot
Heisman Trophy winners Mark Ingram, Cam Newton and Robert Griffin III and former AP National Player of the Year Ndamukong Suh are on the ballot for the 2026 College Football Hall of Fame class. The National Football Foundation released the ballot Monday for the class that will be announced in January. It includes 79 players and nine coaches from the Football Bowl Subdivision and 100 players and 35 coaches from lower levels. Ingram became Alabama's first Heisman winner in 2009 after running for 1,658 yards and 20 touchdowns. Newton in 2010 was just the third player in FBS history with 20 passing and 20 rushing touchdowns. Griffin in 2011 led the nation in points responsible for and ranked second in total offense. Suh was a force for Nebraska in 2009 and became the first defensive lineman in 15 seasons to be named a finalist for the Heisman Trophy. He finished fourth in voting but was honored as the nation's top player by The Associated Press. Among other players on the ballot are Iowa's Brad Banks, Colorado's Eric Bieniemy, Oklahoma State's Dez Bryant, Penn State's Ki-Jana Carter, Pittsburgh's Aaron Donald, Syracuse's Marvin Harrison, Oklahoma's Josh Heupel, Ohio State's James Laurinaitis, Washington State's Ryan Leaf, California's Marshawn Lynch, Illinois' Simeon Rice and Florida State's Peter Warrick. Among coaches on the ballot are Larry Coker, Gary Patterson and Chris Petersen. Coker led the Canes to consecutive national championship games and won the 2002 Rose Bowl to become the first rookie head coach to lead his team to a title since 1948. Patterson is TCU's all-time wins leader who led the Horned Frogs to six AP top 10 final rankings. Petersen is Boise State's all-time wins leader who led the Broncos to two undefeated seasons and led Washington to the 2016 College Football Playoff. The NFF also announced an adjustment to the eligibility criteria for coaches to be considered for induction. The minimum career winning percentage required for coaching eligibility will go from .600 to .595 beginning in 2027. The change would make Mike Leach eligible. Leach, who died in 2022, had a .596 winning percentage with a 158-107 record over 21 seasons at Texas Tech, Washington State and Mississippi State. Leach was known for his innovative wide-open offenses and his knack for pulling upsets. He won 18 games against Top 25 opponents when his team was unranked.

2 Indianapolis Colts' ranked among best college football players of the 2000s
2 Indianapolis Colts' ranked among best college football players of the 2000s One current and one former member of the Indianapolis Colts were named among the top 25 college football players of the 2000s by The Athletic. One current and one former member of the Indianapolis Colts were named among the top 25 college football players of the 2000s, a list that was put together by The Athletic's Bruce Feldman. In order to construct this list, Feldman reached out to "three dozen" coaches, TV analysts, and NFL scouts, asking who was the best collegiate player over the last 25 years. Coming in at No. 25 on that list for the Colts was current left guard Quenton Nelson, who played his college career at Notre Dame. Nelson was named an All-American during his final season, and over his three years as a starter, he was consistently one of PFF's highest graded guards as both a run blocker and as a pass protector during that span. In 2017, Notre Dame's 6.3 yards per rush average as a team was the third-highest mark in all of college football, and as Feldman noted, the Irish accomplished that without having a "star running back." The Colts made Nelson the sixth overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft, and since then, he has provided stability to the Indianapolis offensive line unit, which includes making seven Pro Bowls, along with being a three-time All-Pro. The second Colts player to make an appearance on Feldman's list was quarterback Andrew Luck, who played at Stanford and was No. 12 on the list. Over Luck's final two seasons, he completed an impressive 71% of his passes, throwing for 6,855 yards with 69 touchdowns to just 18 interceptions. He was a runner-up for the Heisman Trophy twice, a winner of the Maxwell Award, and a winner of the Walter Camp award as well. 'The only time I can remember during my scouting career where they told me, 'This guy teaches the install on the first day of camp.' They just let him get up there and teach it,' said NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah, a former NFL scout. 'They give him multiple huddle calls and let him run the game at the line of scrimmage. He just had more intellectual power than anybody I've ever scouted.' The Colts took Luck with the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. He was a four-time Pro Bowler and the NFL's Comeback Player of the Year in 2018. Luck would also lead the Colts to the playoffs in four seasons, including an AFC Championship appearance in 2014.
