Louisville-Wake Forest: The 2026 Clash of the 'Dumbest' Rivalry

No. 16 Louisville hosts Wake Forest on Saturday, Sept. 26, in a matchup defined by decades of controversy, from the 2016 'WakeyLeaks' scandal to recent coaching changes. Louisville enters as a 13.5-point favorite, seeking to maintain its momentum after a 10-point win over SMU. Wake Forest, led by second-year coach Jake Dickert, is 2-1 and looking to continue a streak where underdogs have covered the spread in six straight meetings. The game features key questions about Louisville's discipline and Wake Forest quarterback Gio Lopez's health.

End the Battle of the Brothers? Utah-Utah State Rivalry Under Scrutiny After One-Sided Loss

Sports columnist Gordon Monson argues the Utah-Utah State rivalry should be ended after Utah's 33-0 rout, noting the series’ long dominance by Utah (roughly 30 wins since 1980) and the lack of competitive balance, making the matchup feel more like a punishment than a contest—even as Utah shows strength with Devon Dampier and Braden Pegan contributing on offense.

Purdue's new AD backtracks on rival jab after cringe-worthy intro

Purdue’s newly appointed athletic director Tommy McClelland apologizes for an offhand jab at in-state rival Indiana during his introductory press conference, saying the remark landed poorly and he knew the moment it left his mouth. He clarified the comment on The Pat McAfee Show, framed rivalries as a key part of college athletics, and emphasized he will set a high standard to raise Purdue’s program, even as the football team has struggled (3-21 in the past two years) and the goal remains championships.

Purdue's New AD Kicks Off With a Championship Jab at Indiana

Purdue’s new athletic director Tommy McClelland opened his tenure with a tongue-in-cheek jab at Indiana—“If you don’t want to win championships, go to Indiana”—in his introductory news conference, a remark Purdue called jest. The quip comes as Indiana currently leads the football rivalry, with the Hoosiers outscoring Purdue 122-3 over the last two seasons, and amid Purdue’s broader push to boost revenue to fund a competitive football program under coach Barry Odom. The piece also contrasts IU’s Curt Cignetti era, Purdue basketball success, and McClelland’s plans to grow resources across the athletics department.
