Notre Dame, USC on another top rivalry list
We ranked the 10 biggest college football rivalries ever. Which one is your favorite? pic.twitter.com/QnRhMNKk4Q
Another publication has ranked the best college football rivalries of all time, and once again, Notre Dame-USC makes the list.
This list, unlike one from a few weeks ago, is only 10 deep, so there was only room for one Notre Dame rivalry. Sorry, Michigan.
The others on the list, which comes from Fox Sports, will not shock anyone. Number one is Michigan-Ohio State, number two is Alabama-Auburn and Oklahoma-Texas is number three. Army-Navy is fourth, with Notre Dame-USC rounding out the top five. The rest of the top 10: Florida State-Miami (FL), Florida-Georgia, BYU-Utah, Texas-Texas A&M and Mississippi State-Ole Miss.

Where CBS Sports ranks Florida football's strength of schedule among other SEC teams
Florida football won't have much time to ease into the 2025 season. According to CBS Sports' Brandon Marcello, the Gators have been handed the fifth-toughest strength of schedule in the SEC. It's a slate that could once again test Billy Napier's program early and often. Florida faces back-to-back road games in September at LSU and Miami, a stretch that could determine the team's trajectory before October. The Gators get a midseason bye before welcoming the Texas Longhorns, a projected playoff contender. Road trips to Texas A&M and Ole Miss loom in the second half of the year, with the Orange and Blue closing the regular season in Gainesville against Tennessee and Florida State. Last season, Florida's schedule was regarded as the toughest in the country. Napier now faces the challenge of navigating another stacked SEC slate while trying to keep the Gators in contention, but he and the team remain optimistic and think they have a shot for the playoffs. "We absolutely have aspirations to be a playoff team," Napier said during Tuesday's press conference. "That's the intention of coming here is to win championships." Here is everything Marcello wrote about the Gators and how they have the fifth-toughest strength of schedule in the SEC. What CBS Sports said about Florida "Florida may have played the toughest schedule in the country in 2024, and though it eases up a bit thanks to the slide of Florida State , it's still no cake walk. Back-to-back September road trips to LSU and Miami may define the season. Billy Napier needs to get Florida back to that nine- or 10-win mark, even against this schedule, to remain relevant. "No doubt he'll show whether he can do that by midseason. The three-game stretch with LSU, Miami and Texas (after a bye week) will likely determine whether Napier is still the coach in 2026. Trips to Texas A&M and Ole Miss are also on the docket before closing the season at home against Tennessee and Florida State."

ESPN updates 2026 bracketology: Where will Iowa basketball be?
In Joe Lunardi's July 29 update to ESPN's Way-Too-Early bracketology for the 2026 NCAA Tournament, Iowa basketball earned a rather difficult prediction position as the Hawkeyes enter their first season under new head coach Ben McCollum. According to Lunardi's updated prediction, Iowa is said to finish as an 11-seed as part of the "Last Four In" grouping alongside Texas A&M, Miami, and SMU. Iowa's placement would have them face the Mustangs in the First Four for the right to play No. 6-seeded Kansas in the St. Louis regional. The newest projections also include 10 other Big Ten programs at the following positions: Purdue (Conference automatic qualifier, No. 1), Michigan (No. 2), Illinois (No. 4), UCLA (No. 4), Michigan State (No. 5), Ohio State (No. 6), Wisconsin (No. 7), Oregon (No. 7), USC (No. 7), and Maryland (No. 9). Washington is forecasted to be the "Last Team Out", according to the most recent model. The Hawkeyes' 2025-26 roster will include 12 newcomers on the 14-player roster, with five players (Bennett Stirtz, Kael Combs, Isaia Howard, Tavion Banks, and Cam Manyawu) coming via the transfer portal to follow Ben McCollum from Drake to Iowa. In addition to the Drake transfers, Iowa also received portal commitments from Brendan Hausen (Kansas State) and Alvaro Folgueiras (Robert Morris), and the return of Cooper Koch. Despite the program's major offseason roster and program staff overhaul following the March firing of former head coach Fran McCaffery and subsequent hiring of McCollum later in the month, the Hawkeyes did not move much from Lunardi's June projection, which also had them playing in the First Four round. Regardless of the predictions, Iowa must prove to Lunardi, the NCAA Selection Committee, and the rest of the nation that it deserves more respect, given the talent assembled on the team and the pedigree of its head coach. While a full schedule has yet to be officially released, the Hawkeyes will begin their first season under McCollum on Nov. 4 against Robert Morris at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
