Kansas and Missouri are renewing their football rivalry beginning in September 2025. Both squads will get two home games in a four game slate over six seasons. The game in 2025 will be played in Columbia (MO), in 2026 in Lawrence (KS), back to Columbia in 2031, and conclude in 2032 in Lawrence.

Top 2021 QB Caleb Williams cut his list of schools in his consideration to three on Tuesday afternoon. Williams announced on his social medias that LSU, Maryland, and Oklahoma still have a chance to land his services. Ranked number fifteen in the new 2021 ESPN 100, Williams cut Clemson and Penn State from his previous list.

Four-Star 2021 QB Grant Nussmeier committed to LSU on Monday. Nussmeier joins a loaded 2021 class in Baton Rouge.

Consensus four and five-star 2021 running back Will Shipley committed to Clemson on Tuesday. Shipley chose Clemson over NC State, North Carolina, Notre Dame, and Stanford. Shipley is ranked number twenty-two overall in the latest 2021 ESPN 300.

One big change to college football is that player’s ejected for targeting won’t have to exit to the locker room. They’ll be able to cheer on their teammates instead of having to sit in front of their locker. I agree with this change, because there’s no reason to penalize a player for just trying to help his team make a big play to change a game.

Another huge rule change that almost everyone who reads this will agree with. Officials have to keep instant replay video reviews two minutes or less. This will undoubtedly speed up the game for unnecessary reviews.

The final big rule change is that no more than two players on a team get to wear the same number. Players who are wearing the same number cannot play the same position or be on the field at the same time. This is a problem because teams are now as big as ever in size. Players will be able to wear number 0 this season if they wish unlike in past seasons.

USC QB JT Daniels, who was overtaken for the starting job by Pac-12 Offensive Freshman of the Year Kedon Slovis because of injury, has entered his name into the transfer portal. Daniels is a former four star recruit.

Defensive end Tunmese Adeleye has committed to Ohio State. Adeleye’s commitment gives Ohio State fourteen commitments in the 2021 ESPN Junior 300.

Three-star Little Rock Parkview QB Landon Rogers committed to Arkansas on Thursday. He is the third commit of Sam Pittman’s first class at Arkansas. All three of the commitments are from the Natural State.

I will make new predictions after I predict every Power 5 team’s schedule.

Today I predict where ESPN’s College Gameday show will go each week for their college preview show each week.

Week 0
Navy vs. Notre Dame (Dublin, Ireland)
If Gameday goes anywhere for Week 0, it will be in Dublin for one of the most historic games as they come. Notre Dame taking on Navy.

Week 1
USC vs. Alabama (Arlington,TX)
There aren’t very many top heavy match ups in week one so I chose the annual kickoff game in Arlington between two bluebloods, Alabama and USC.

Week 2
Texas at. LSU
Gameday went to Austin for this game a year ago and boy it was a treat. Why not make the trip down to Baton Rouge for this one?

Week 3
Georgia at. Alabama
I mean, who wouldn’t want to see these two SEC powerhouses play for the first time since 2007. Gameday would love to go to Tuscaloosa. Enough said.

Week 4
Wisconsin at. Michigan
Gameday went to this game many times during the 2010s and I’m not finding too much else that is worth watching. Obviously teams will rise up the rankings and fall down the rankings, but right now this game is the one to watch in week four.

Week 5
Notre Dame vs. Wisconsin (Green Bay,WI)
Yes, Wisconsin is getting Gameday for the second straight week. But at Lambeau Field, this game has to be the one that the Gameday gang goes to.

Week 6
Auburn at. Georgia
While LSU-Florida is also this week, Gameday has already been to Baton Rouge. While they have been to a Georgia game it was not in Athens, so it’s my pick for week six.

Week 7
Texas A&M at. Auburn
If Gameday doesn’t want to be in SEC country for consecutive weeks, they could go to Utah-Washington but Texas A&M seems to be the most talented its ever been under Jimbo Fisher and Gus Malzahn has Auburn as a likely pre-season top ten team.

Week 8
Ohio State at. Penn State
The likely battle for the Big Ten east title in 2020 never disappoints. It might just be Penn State’s year to take down the buckeyes you never know.

Week 9
Florida vs. Georgia (Jacksonville,FL)
This is usually the de facto championship in the SEC east. So, that’s why gameday goes to Jacksonville on Halloween.

Week 10
Alabama at. LSU
Despite Gameday going to many SEC games, how could they not go to Baton Rouge for a potential de facto SEC west championship yet again in 2020?

Week 11
Washington at. USC
If both teams are good enough and only if they are good enough Gameday could head to Los Angeles for the first time in awhile.

Week 12
Nebraska at. Wisconsin
The right pick for this week would be Texas A&M-Alabama or LSU-Auburn but with the amount of SEC games already attended by Gameday it’s hard to see them going down south again. So, Wisconsin-Nebraska is my pick.

Week 13
Auburn at. Alabama
Both teams will be in the thick of things in the SEC. Enough said.

I’m a diehard Arkansas Razorback fan but I’m not going to put bias into this post. Can Sam Pittman do better than 2-10 in his first season as head coach? We will have to see, but let’s take a glimpse into it with my honest and realistic predictions for their 2020-2021 season.
