The College Football Playoff is 'more serious' than ever about 24 teams, but a 2027 start is not guaranteed

@Matt_Fortuna @sportsrapport @SBJ Congrats, man! Well deserved

As we start October, these are the coaches who have helped and hurt their job security with the coaching carousel set to get going soon.

.@CBSSports has obtained part of what "Don Julio" sent to as many as 85 different front office staff members across the country. It includes some specifics like scouting dept how-tos and grading scales for evals.

Per multiple sources, Jenrath was dismissed from his role in Auburn's FO after being spotted at a Tigers baseball game when he claimed he was sick.

According to a source who received the email: "Your high school slash JUCO evaluation pipeline and how it gets from the intern to the head coach is not confidential information."

@magicwhiptx Had multiple players/team execs ask that same rhetorical question. It felt like, to some at least, that he was.

One of the Raiders players, who was right by Lane when he decided to kick it told me for my Lane Being Lane book he blurted out "Are you fucking kidding?" and got a dirty look.

The team knew it was over for Lane after that. The Raiders chapter of Lane's career is fascinating

[Funhouse @BackAftaThis]

On this date in 2008, Lane Kiffin sent Sebastian Janikowski out to attempt a 76-yard field goal. 😂

It missed by a mile. Al Davis fired Kiffin two days later.

If you need an explainer on what this means, my guy @bmarcello had a good story earlier today: https://t.co/vivvxDnA9y

After many hours of discussion and amendment voting, the Senate has passed the Protect College Sports Act by a vote of 77-22.

A big moment for college athletics with a big hurdle still to come in getting it passed in the House.

[Brandon Marcello @bmarcello]

The Senate adopted Sens. Ashley Moody and Richard Blumenthal's amendment raising conference membership cap in the college sports bill from 19 schools to 20.

Something feels off about Texas, Oklahoma needs to consider benching John Mateer and Wake Forest made one of the best hires in years with Jake Dickert.

All that and a lot more in this week's overreactions over at @CBSSportsCFB: https://t.co/880fhDRDVN

Mississippi State is 4-0 after a 31-24 win over No. 19 Missouri.

Led by star Kamario Taylor, the Bulldogs are rolling with No. 8 Alabama coming to town next weekend.

[John Talty @JTalty]

Who do you have the most confidence in to be your QB?

[John Talty @JTalty]

LSU dealing with some injuries tonight — Sam Leavitt, Whit Weeks — but still easily handling Texas A&M. Nice rebound in a big spot coming off last week’s loss.

A&M, on the other hand, looks cooked and out of sorts.

[John Talty @JTalty]

Down goes No. 13 Penn State.

Huge win for Luke Fickell and his Wisconsin Badgers to go to Happy Valley and leave with the W.

In a must-win year, Fickell is now 3-1 with a top 15 win.

[John Talty @JTalty]

There are some losses that are just impossible to come back from.

A 54-3 home loss to UCLA feels like that for Mike Locksley.
