If Jalen Milroe qualified with a minimum of 15 passes thrown against Western Kentucky, he might have the nation's highest passer rating. Calculated on his 7-for-9 performance, his current rating (Passing Efficiency Rating) is 374.4. The official national leader is Washington State's John Mateer at 335.7. Officially, after Week 1 the SEC's best is Ole Miss Rebel Jaxson Dart at 272.6.

Jalen Milroe will not be college football's leading passer and it will not matter

At least on Saturday, college football upsets weren't overflowing from the margins. In fact, we had to make it to Sunday and Monday for the standalone games to cash our only two upset picks of the week (thanks to the USC Trojans and Boston College Eagles for getting it done) that cashed. It's a shame that Florida State is no longer ranked so we can't take advantage of that again in Week 2.

Red Flags: 5 college football teams to put on upset alert in Week 2

Alabama State

Tuscaloosa, AL

It's gameday for Alabama Football as they take on USF on Saturday night at 6pm CST on ESPN. The Crimson Tide hope to show the Bulls who they are after a struggling, lifeless 17-3 win over the American Athletic Conference foe a year ago in a rain-soaked Tampa, Florida. Alabama...

Alabama starting left tackle Kadyn Proctor injured his shoulder in pre-game warmups for the season opener last week, and his status for week two against USF has been up in the air all week with head coach Kalen DeBoer calling him "day-to-day." According to ESPN's Pete Thamel, Proctor is doubtful...

Boston, MA

The Boston Celtics needed to have everybody on the same page last year in order to win a championship. They succeeded, and Banner 18 came home to Boston. And what’s even better is that Brad Stevens is bringing back a nearly identical roster heading into next season. However, two players won’t be back: Oshae Brissett and Svi Mykhailiuk.

What’s going on here? This isn’t the same Shintaro Fujinami from earlier this season. An April that saw him walk 10 batters in 4.2 innings of work completely wrote him out of the picture for the Mets this season. He wasn’t just walking batters either. An astonishing 13 runs were scored (10 earned) in the small sample size.

There is no such thing as a perfect defensive scheme. The Green Bay Packers are finding out why. Jeff Hafley has brought a new approach as Joe Barry's replacement. The days of soft zone coverages are gone. Hafley plays with more aggression, with far more man coverages than in Barry's system. He wants players to react fast, get to the ball, and play fearless football.

Eagles have already exposed a weakness in new-look Packers defense

We ask ourselves this question at least once a year: Can the best team in college football beat the worst team in the NFL? In pretty much every instance, the answer is definitively and unequivocally no. However, the top of the college game has never been closer to the very bottom of the NFL. While one of these hypothetical exhibition contests will never happen under any circumstance, one can dream.

How many NFL teams could Georgia beat right now?

New Orleans, LA

Don't worry Kansas State fans, Avery Johnson did not cut his hair. Johnson still has his flowing locks, but he did give College Gameday host Pat McAfee a scare. Johnson joined College Gameday on their connected segment where the Gameday team talks to a player or a coach about their game through a phone call. Of course, they have a camera in the stadium on them as the player or coach walks the field, is warming up, or is watching the team.

Michael Rucker's career as a Philadelphia Phillies pitcher didn't last long, if it even happened at all. The Phillies' offseason acquisition barely got a chance to prove himself on the mound and is now part of a rival NL East organization. On Friday afternoon, the Phillies announced that the right-hander...

Maybe it was just a pipedream to believe the Patriots would be fortunate enough to face the Bengals without their star wide receiver, but it was the sliver of hope that connected New England fans ahead of their regular season opener. It was a small chance that united the fanbase amid a drawn-out rebuild, providing a little bit of faith that the Patriots could walk out with a win on Sunday afternoon.

When the Las Vegas Raiders kick off their 2024 NFL season this weekend against the division rival Los Angeles Chargers, they'll be one of the few teams which doesn't have its starting quarterback situation completely sorted out. Head coach Antonio Pierce named Gardner Minshew the starter, but most would assume...

According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), 1,467 children have been reported missing in the U.S. since January 1, 2024, a drop since the figure of 1,533 previously reported. That drop indicates 66 cases were resolved.

The Green Bay Packers are the "road" team for their season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. It sounds ridiculous even typing that. The Eagles can't exactly call themselves the home team after traveling thousands of miles to arrive in Sao Paulo, Brazil. International games may attempt to provide a home-field...

One of the first players the Boston Bruins signed ahead of free agency was prospect goalie Brandon Bussi. An undrafted free agent out of Western Michigan University, Bussi has played two full seasons with the Providence Bruins in the AHL and it's safe to say that he has turned some heads.

Who is Boston Bruins prospect goalie Brandon Bussi, anyway?

Taijuan Walker’s struggles with the Philadelphia Phillies this season have already been well-documented. With his relegation to the bullpen, the Phillies hope that it will enable him to work on his game by taking him away from the spotlight. In addition, the long-term plan is to help fix what went wrong and work with him in the offseason to see if he can rediscover his form for the 2025 season.

Phillies confident they already have Taijuan Walker’s replacement for 2025

On Aug. 21, 40-year Reds veteran Joey Votto officially called it quits from professional baseball. At the conclusion of last year, the Reds declined his $20 million club option for 2024 after he only managed to play 65 games in as he battled multiple injuries throughout the season. Votto clearly didn't want to be done with baseball, even though those injuries and the end of his tenure with the team that drafted him in 2002 were basically begging him to do so.

Former Reds star Joey Votto is a Hall of Famer, but shouldn't get in on first ballot

The New York Knicks have an open roster spot that most fans want them to use on another center after Isaiah Hartenstein's departure. Mitchell Robinson, Precious Achiuwa, and Jericho Sims are the team's centers. Julius Randle and OG Anunoby could also see time at the five. The Knicks' main weakness...

Earlier this week, New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Javon Baker was in hot water because of an off-the-field incident. The rookie wide receiver was punished by head coach Jerod Mayo for an NFSW rant posted on Instagram Live last weekend after Baker was issued a traffic ticket. Mayo told reporters that the incident “in no way” represents the Pats, per Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald.
