COLUMBUS, Ohio – Notre Dame didn’t enter this year’s NCAA Tournament with a seed next to its name, or a double-digit win total. It wasn’t hosting a first-round matchup, either. But the Fighting Irish are still the reigning back-to-back national champions. And they still have Chris Kavanagh.

Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders is ESPN NFL Draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr.’s top-rated quarterback right now. He’s also the reigning Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week. Sanders completed 30-of-43 passes for 291 yards and three touchdowns. He also netted 16 rushing yards and scored on the ground once in a 41-27 win at Texas Tech. En route to earning his first Big 12 weekly award, Sanders guided his now-No. 17 Buffaloes to a comeback victory in Lubbock.

Penn State replaced both of its coordinators this past offseason. The Nittany Lions fired former offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich almost a year ago to the day, following the second of two underwhelming defeats to top-three opponents in 2023. Penn State mustered a combined 27 points in losses to Ohio State and Michigan last season. As for the defensive side of things, the Nittany Lions thrived under Manny Diaz — so much so that Diaz got offered the Duke head coaching job after the season.

Nine games and 11 weeks into the 2024 season, USC is below .500 and has made a quarterback switch. The 4-5 Trojans aren’t where anyone thought they’d be, including sixth-year safety Akili Arnold, who transferred in from Oregon State this offseason. But the goal has shifted from College Football Playoff berth to bowl berth — earning one more game means something, and not just for a player like Arnold who is in his final year of eligibility.
