NC State Lands on Two National Rankings After Vanderbilt Collapse

NC State football is now ranked No. 5 in ESPN's Bottom 10 and No. 1 in The Athletic's list of most average Power Four programs following a 1-2 record. The team lost to Vanderbilt on a late fumble by quarterback CJ Bailey, a result that triggered immediate national criticism. While ESPN's ranking focuses on the specific game collapse, The Athletic's assessment highlights a broader pattern of mediocrity. NC State is set to face Appalachian State on September 26.

NC State's Controversial Late-Game Safety Stirs Debate

With the game against Vanderbilt winding down, NC State chose to take a safety to burn clock instead of kneeling or punting. The plan hinged on QB CJ Bailey rolling out, buying time, and then securing the football, but it carried risks—blitz pressure, a potential fumble, and a dramatic return by Vanderbilt. The column treats the decision as a remarkably risky, almost comical endgame gambit that showcases how a single late‑game call can spiral into chaos in college football.

LSU Reunites with Will Wade in Blockbuster Basketball Return

Will Wade left NC State after one season to return to LSU in a months‑in‑the‑making deal that reunites him with LSU leadership from his McNeese days. LSU granted Wade a seven‑year contract with a salary around $4 million per year and pledged a substantial NIL/roster budget, while NC State agreed to a roughly $4 million separation payout to part ways with him. The move underscores LSU’s willingness to pay big to land top basketball talent and signals Wade’s turbulent coaching arc continuing after his LSU firing.

Wade Leaves NC State for LSU Homecoming After 1 Season

Will Wade is leaving NC State after one season to return to LSU as head coach, a move that, if confirmed, would lead LSU to fire Matt McMahon. Wade’s return comes amid his controversial LSU tenure and sanctions history, while his lone year in Raleigh produced a 20-14 record and barely earned an NCAA Tournament berth; NC State’s buyout drops to $3 million on April 1 and could be settled.

Virginia rides balanced attack and Onyenso's defense to beat NC State in ACC quarters

Virginia overcame a slow start to defeat NC State 81-74 in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals, riding a second-half shooting surge (12-of-25 from three) and a season-high eight blocks from Ugonna Onyenso after Johann Grunloh fouled out.

South Carolina Gamecocks top CBS Sports' way-too-early women's college basketball power rankings with a deep roster and strong recruiting class, while UConn Huskies and NC State Wolfpack also feature prominently.
