GAME EIGHT, LEHIGH AT VILLANOVA – Like Adonis Creed, Mountain Hawks and Wildcats Look to Rewrite Their Stories in FCS Playoff Rematch - The College Sports Journal

This weekend's game on the Main Line — let's just call it The Rematch — gives both Villanova (3–4, 2–2 Patriot) and Lehigh (6–1, 4–0 Patriot) an opportunity to shape the story of their seasons.

Week 0 has given FCS schools rare leverage. But for how long?

The college football calendar is changing, bringing new scheduling opportunities, hidden revenues and an uncertain future for FCS guarantee games.

Never gets old.

I was going over last year's 14-7 FCS playoff win by Villanova over Lehigh in the playoffs last season for my preview. It was a classic with so little separating the two teams. One of of the best games I ever witnessed, despite the outcome.

It’s a gorgeous place to watch a game AND they have a mud hill

Having the coolest part of your stadium being a shitty mud hill is not a distinction I would want my team to have.

And Draftkings!

The Browns, Bengals, Guardians, Reds, Blue Jackets, Cavaliers, Crew, and FC Cincinnati. The owners of every single pro sports team in Ohio have all donated to Vivek Ramaswamy. And not a single one has spoken up about his recent ad. www.foiaball.com/p/ohio-sport...

Marshall Faulk has been dealing with a challenge even greater than coaching. The Hall of Fame running back and first-year head coach of Southern University went public about being diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. READ: hbcusports.com/2026/10/22/m...

Normally I hate AI slop with the heat of a thousand suns, but when it comes up with an AI Jamies saying “When God closes one door, he opens another, and sometimes that door has JJ McCarthy standing behind it”, I have to admit I paused, laughed, and double checked it wasn't real

The CFP describes itself as a non-entity, a pass-through that only implements the desires of its members, college football's conferences. So why in the heck has it spent $5 million lobbying Congress? www.foiaball.com/p/college-fo...

The CFP's secret $5 million lobbying campaign

It's been trying to sway Congress for decades.

Realize for a second that Vivek took a look at Elon and DOGE and said "nope, this is too scummy for me, I'm out"

I'm hearing a certain head football coach at Cincinnati loves crabcakes, @actioncookbook.com. Can you provide a good recipe for him? And a map?

From my Lehigh Sports Nation newsletter today. I had some opinions.

Vivek is the rare unicorn politician that has released two campaign ads so bad - one hilarious, the other sickening - that political science professors will have course material for years

So the fake pollster has made almost $5,000 betting on elections

UPDATE: I found Wedgewood’s Kalshi account. He goes by Andrew and has been insider trading using the fake polls that he was posting. I reported this to Kalshi, hope they do something about it @gelliottmorris.com

this is concrete proof that the "defend women's sports" crowd was mostly full of shit and is happy to work to remove athletic opportunities for women across all of college. This was so predictable, and college administrators need to wake up to where the conservative legal movement is going

"Darth Vader is Luke's Father!" - The College Football Live crew before announcing the FCS Playoff rankings

Like many, here at Lambert Cup headquarters we are looking forward to the FCS playoff selection committee's first Top 10 rankings today on ESPN. This week's Lambert Cup Poll is out, and here's the results before the broadcast! Might be pertinent to their initial rankings.

The FCS playoff committee’s first Top 10 rankings reveal today (2 p.m. ET, “CFB Live” on ESPN2) helps give insight into which teams are in contention for eight first-round byes. The 24-team pairings will be announced on Nov. 22.

Serious question to @kleinman.bsky.social - breathless NYT coverage that the RNC pumps $50 million into midterms. Isn't that.. like.. peanuts, relatively speaking?

Both long time Tampa Bay Devil Rays fans are delighted they made it to the MLB Finals.

Jalen Hurts was told by doctors not to sleep after his initial diagnosis of a superficial blood clot while in London. Hurts stayed awake for roughly 36 hours before starting against the Jaguars. (per @tompelissero.bsky.social)

Were today's NY Times headlines written by the RNC? Russia financed France far right "seizing the moment", long term sunny prospect for Republicans, "Republicans are worried about turnout, here's what they're doing.". What's next, a centerfold of right wing traitor and slug Steve Bannon?
