Notre Dame has many stars named to ESPN's most important players in college football
With the college football season starting at the end of the month, ESPN took a look at the 40 most important players in the sport and named multiple Notre Dame stars to its list. Starting off with their No. 4 most important player in the new starting quarterbacks for likely contenders category was CJ Carr, as Bill Connelly wonders 'can he boost the Irish's upside enough to maybe actually win the national title game (while providing enough of a floor to get them back there)'? That a question that we'd all like answered, but it won't happen right way. He obviously believes that Carr will win the job over Kenny Minchey, which seems like the sentiment nationally. Both of the Irish's wide receiver transfers in Malachi Fields and Will Pauling were named in the category as most important (non-QB) transfers, although neither of them technically made list. However, cornerbacks Leonard Moore and Christian Gray did in the pure transcendence potential. Connelly was astounded by the depth that Notre Dame has at the position, noting that it 'lost all-world cornerback Benjamin Morrison to a injury six games into 2024 and didn't miss a single beat because Gray and Moore — then just a sophomore and freshman, respectively — were so damn good.' Star running back Jeremiyah Love (who spoke with us about his NIL deal with New Balance) made this category as well, but not named as one of the main players as was the case with the wide receivers. It's pretty clear that Notre Dame has plenty of star power entering 2024, as many of its young players emerged last fall and are known commodities. It should be another very successful season in South Bend starting just a few weeks from now.

These Teams Head Into The 2025 Season With The Nation's Longest Bowl Droughts
The droughts have been coming off the board. Nebraska had the longest dry spell (seven years) among power conference teams before returning to postseason play in 2024. Texas State went to its first bowl in 2023, its 11th year as an FBS member. UNLV snapped a nine-year bowl drought that same season. In 2022, Kansas halted a hefty string of 13 years without making a bowl reservation. This year? Louisiana-Monroe and UMass, which has not been to a bowl since elevating to the FBS, will attempt to make the cut. As noted below, the Warhawks have at least been bowl eligible. Louisiana-Monroe: 12 Seasons It appeared the Warhawks were on the way to snapping their drought in Bryant Vincent's first season as the program's head coach a year ago. Certainly, they would win one game in the season's back half after a fruitful first half in which they went 5-1, including 3-0 in Sun Belt play, wouldn't they? Instead, ULM enters 2025 with a six-game losing streak and a 12-year bowl drought. ULM achieved bowl eligibility twice during the period in question. Todd Berry's squad went 6-6 in 2013 and the Warhawks went 6-6 in 2018 under Matt Viator, but were passed over both times. ULM has been competing at the FBS level the past 21 seasons and has only a single postseason appearance, a 2012 Independence Bowl loss to Ohio under Berry. The Warhawks also played at the highest level, then known as I-A, from 1975 to 1981 without a bowl appearance before dropping down to what was then I-AA, now the FCS. UMass: 12 Seasons Thirteen seasons have been played since the Minutemen elevated to the FBS, though they did not take the field in pandemic-disrupted 2020. When the program transitioned to the FBS in 2012, the Minutemen were not eligible to participate in a bowl unless they won at least six games and there were not enough bowl eligible teams to fill all slots. It did not matter thanks to going 1-11. Though fully eligible for bowl play in 11 of their 12 seasons since taking the field as an FBS program, we will call it a 12-season drought since there was a chance heading into 2012 that Charley Molnar's team could have played in a bowl. At any rate, this is a program there has not won as many as five games in a season as an FBS member while sporting a record of 26-122 (.175) since elevating. Back-to-back 4-8 campaigns in 2017 and 2018 is as good as it has been. Joe Harasymiak, who was the DC at Rutgers the past three seasons, is the fourth head coach in the FBS era in Amherst, which beginning this year includes a second stint (also 2012 to 2015) as a MAC member. UMass appeared in a pair of bowl games as a member of the Yankee Conference prior to Division-I splitting into I-A (FBS) and I-AA (FCS) in 1978. The Minutemen lost to East Carolina in the 1964 Tangerine Bowl in Orlando and defeated UC-Davis in the 1972 Boardwalk Bowl in Atlantic City. New Mexico: 8 Seasons The Lobos traveled to Hawaii for their 2024 regular-season finale needing to defeat the Rainbow Warriors to pick up a sixth win and become bowl eligible. They spent all afternoon playing from behind in a 38-30 loss to finish 5-7, their best record since the most recent bowl season of 2016. At least the Lobos were in the postseason conversation last year. After all, they went 19-60 (.240) over the previous seven years under Danny Gonzalez and Bob Davie, a stretch that put the program near the bottom of the FBS. Speaking of coaches, it is now three in as many years in Albuquerque. Bronco Mendenhall took over for Gonzalez and lasted one season before departing for Utah State. Jason Eck arrived from Idaho and will attempt to get the Lobos over the hump and back into the bowl picture. A very difficult road schedule – Michigan, UCLA, San Jose State, Boise State, UNLV and Air Force -- could conspire against doing just that. Akron: 7 Seasons Joe Moorehead's Zips went 3-5 in MAC play last year. That is noteworthy because it was Akron's most conference wins since the last time it went to a bowl, which was 2017. The Zips went 4-8 last season, Moorehead's third running the show. He took over a very challenging situation in 2022 as the Zips had won only three of their previous 35 games. Akron has certainly been much more competitive under the former Mississippi State coach. Though the Zips were predictably blown out by Ohio State, Rutgers and South Carolina last season, and by a combined 151-30, they not only won three games in conference play, but only one of the five losses was by more than 13 points. Their chances this season in Moorehead's fourth year at the helm? Well, Ben Finley returns at quarterback for his final season of eligibility and the non-conference slate is far less daunting as Wyoming, Nebraska and UAB are the trio of non-conference FBS opponents. Stanford: 6 Seasons The Cardinal have been nothing if not consistent in going 3-9 each of the past four seasons, which is the longest active stretch of sub-.500 campaigns among power conference teams. The six-season run without postseason play includes pandemic-abbreviated 2020 when David Shaw's squad went 4-2 and opted against playing in a bowl after a revised Santa Clara County health order made doing anything a chore. That would have been Stanford's only bowl season since a 2018 Sun Bowl win over Pitt. The Cardinal is 16-44 in five 12-game seasons since then. Frank Reich took over on an interim basis after Troy Taylor was fired in March. This second season as an ACC member will be a test of endurance as the Cardinal take three trips east for conference games against Viriginia, Miami and North Carolina. The season opens with a Week 0 trip to Hawaii then, following an off week, Stanford travels to BYU. Virginia: 6 Seasons The Cavaliers been bowl eligible during their six years run without playing in a bowl. In fact, they could have had back-to-back bowl appearances. Like Stanford, Virginia declined to play in a bowl in 2020 due to the virus. The pandemic continued to take its toll in 2021 when Bronco Mendenhall's team went 6-6 and was set to meet SMU in the Fenway Bowl -- until multiple players tested positive and the game was cancelled. It appeared as though the Cavaliers would finally return to a bowl last season when they started 4-1. Alas, Tony Elliott's team went 1-6 the rest of the way, including losing the last three games while needing one win to break even and become bowl eligible.

I'm a Fantasy Football Sicko. I've Convinced All 5 of My Leagues to Use This App.
I'm not one to brag, but I'm better than you at fantasy football. Last year was something of a down season for me. But I still made the playoffs in all but one of my leagues, made the finals in two, and won one. I've been playing fantasy football for nearly 20 years, and I would have to stretch back pretty far to think of a season when I didn't win at least one league. Various friends (or competitors, as the case may be) have called me a savant, a freak, a sicko. That's fine by me, I'll just keep winning. I've used ESPN, Yahoo Sports, and CBS Sports, but over time, all of my fantasy leagues have landed on the relatively new fantasy football app Sleeper, mostly due to my persistent urging. Sleeper is an app made by and for sickos like me. It's deep, customizable, and social. And it's cognizant of the fact that fantasy football is at once a silly diversion ruled by randomness (except when I'm playing) and also the most important thing in the world (except on the rare occasions when I lose). With a bevy of custom league options and snazzy features, Sleeper is the ideal app for fantasy lifers who want to go deep while still keeping things fun. The real key to fantasy football success is paying more attention to your team than your competitors do to theirs. If you opt into Sleeper's push notifications, the app will quickly notify you of breaking news, and it will often focus on football minutiae that other platforms might pass over. So if a team's third receiver goes down for a couple of games, and his replacement is up for grabs, you'll likely know first on Sleeper. If you're in multiple leagues on Sleeper, you can easily see a player's availability across leagues, thus speeding up player adds. I'm in five separate leagues with one of my oldest friends — sickos stay together — so rushing to beat him to priority pickups is key. (To my employers reading this, know that I enjoy winning the race to pickups only on my off-hours.) Sleeper will also notify you if you have an injured player in your starting lineup. This is a useful feature when games take place on unexpected days, which has been happening more and more. In the most recent season, the NFL scheduled a game on every day of the week except Tuesday. Every player card on Sleeper shows the player's availability for all of the leagues you're in; this is crucial for keeping up with pickups. Each card also has information on the player's performance and transaction history. Sleeper for iOS The trade-proposal screen is made for sharing on social media, and it also begins a chat with your trade partner. Sleeper for iOS Every player card on Sleeper shows the player's availability for all of the leagues you're in; this is crucial for keeping up with pickups. Each card also has information on the player's performance and transaction history. Sleeper for iOS Sleeper also allows you to hone your skills in mock drafts before draft day. Unlike with many other platforms, with this one you can customize your mock draft to match your fantasy league's settings (2 QB, Superflex, and/or keepers, to name a few). And you can even invite your friends to mock draft with you, rather than relying on the computer to simulate what they might do. In one of my leagues, this leads to weeks of subterfuge among my friends and me: We go through multiple fake drafts before the real thing, deploying smokescreens and diversions, and working out different team-building strategies. If you take a screenshot of your draft picks, Sleeper's app automatically generates an image of your entire draft haul for easy sharing (bragging), rather than forcing you to take two screenshots to capture all the glory. Sleeper for iOS The post-mock debriefs — 'Love your build there, Finn!' — are probably among the dorkiest conversations I've ever had in my life, and I love them dearly. Sleeper offers a suite of custom league options — many more than standard apps, maybe a few less than paid apps, but enough for nearly everyone to find what they need. (Even I have my limits.) One of my longest-running leagues is a keeper league with bespoke draft rules, and Sleeper is one of the few platforms I've found that allows us to run it exactly how we want to. I like real football, too (also in a totally normal and cool way). Otis Blum Sleeper also offers flexible drafts. If you can't get everyone together on one night, you can run a slow draft (eight hours per pick) or change the amount of time per pick in the middle of a draft (start quick, end slow). You can easily pause, undo a pick, and redo a pick, all without breaking the draft, and the same goes for pausing it overnight. Sleeper is one of the few free fantasy platforms that offers median scoring for the regular season. Each week, you compete against your opponent and the rest of the league, trying to beat the median score of the week. This tends to smooth out bad breaks — sometimes you're the second-highest scoring team, and you just happen to be playing the highest scorer — and it adds intrigue at the end of every week. Sleeper's draft room is colorful and customizable. You can mock draft with friends with your league's keepers already assigned, chat within the draft, and easily share a recap of your draft after. Sleeper for iOS Each week, Sleeper sends a customized recap to your league's chat, with fun stats and awards. Sleeper for iOS Sleeper's league-wide group chat allows you to keep track of league activity and keep in touch with friends. In this league, the last-place team has to spend 24 hours in an IHOP, minus an hour for every pancake you eat. Sleeper for iOS Sleeper's draft room is colorful and customizable. You can mock draft with friends with your league's keepers already assigned, chat within the draft, and easily share a recap of your draft after. Sleeper for iOS Sleeper's app is easy to navigate, and it even works on a desktop browser if you prefer. The in-app messaging is useful for trade negotiations, and every league has a Discord-like group chat. Each week, Sleeper sends a personalized report to the league-wide chat, showing a variety of highlights and lowlights, such as the most unlucky manager, the best players by position, and so on. It's a useful way to keep up with the league and provides easy bragging rights. And it gets people talking, which is the most fun part of being in any league — the trash talk, the memes, the desultory rounds of congratulations after I've been crowned champion yet again. It won't replace your cherished SMS group chat, but it's at the very least a great supplement. Celebrating after winning yet another championship. Evan Dent/NYT Wirecutter I'll admit it, Sleeper's bevy of options and inside jokes can be intimidating to new players. That's partially why the official Wirecutter pick is the ESPN Fantasy app, which is the best app for everyone , and not just weirdos like me. In certain states, Sleeper has a built-in sports-gambling option, and it will occasionally ping you about it. While it's not present on every fantasy app, sports gambling content is omnipresent across sports broadcasts, so I've just grown to accept it as part of the territory. It's easy enough for me to swipe away, but if you think it might be a problem for you, maybe go with another app. (You can toggle off the gambling tab from Sleeper in the app's settings, and there are responsible gaming limits and self-exclusion options available.) If you've been playing fantasy for a while and are bored with your same-old platform, I'd suggest using Sleeper to shake things up. It gives back as much as you put in, so it's rewarding over the course of a long season. Just don't join a league with me, unless you like losing.
