Notre Dame’s athletic director just put an end to years of speculation: the Fighting Irish aren’t joining a conference anytime soon—or ever. The school is doubling down on its fiercely guarded independence in football, a tradition that dates back over a century. While other major programs chase the security (and payouts) of conference alliances, Notre Dame’s leadership insists their unique TV deal, scheduling flexibility, and national brand are worth more than fitting into the Big Ten or ACC.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about football—it’s about identity. Notre Dame’s refusal to join a conference is a bet that tradition and independence still matter in an era where money and consolidation dominate college sports. For fans, it means more of those iconic standalone games against national rivals, but it also raises questions about how long the school can resist the financial pressures reshaping the sport. Either way, the Irish aren’t budging.

Oregon football is in a tough spot this season—ESPN's latest rankings put them near the bottom of all 136 FBS schools when it comes to returning production. Basically, they’ve lost a lot of key players, and that could make it harder to hit the ground running.

Editor’s Note: For fans, this isn’t great news. Returning production is a big deal in college football—it often predicts how well a team performs. If Oregon’s roster is full of new faces, they might struggle early while players get up to speed. It’s not doom and gloom (coaching and recruiting can turn things around), but it’s definitely a red flag for the upcoming season.
