Nebraska has had a huge week in the news – some good, some bad. First, the school set an attendance record for a women’s volleyball game at home against Omaha.

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde get you ready for Week 1 of the college football season by breaking down the biggest stories ahead of kickoff.
Alabama head coach Nick Saban has yet to release the team’s official Week 1 depth chart, frustrating fans and pundits across the nation. The savvy coach may be withholding as much information as possible as to not give the Texas Longhorns a head start on game planning for the Crimson Tide.
Deion Sanders makes his first Power FIve coaching debut this weekend as Colorado faces TCU in their opener. Coach Prime is no stranger to the bright lights and is bringing his luggage and confidence with him to Fort Worth for what will undoubtedly be a much scrutinized premiere against the Horned Frogs.
The guys do their due diligence and provide their official playoff picks before the season gets underway. This final year of the four-team playoff is expected to be a doozy with high levels of competition in the Big Ten, SEC & Pac-12.
Houston coach Dana Holgorson didn’t mince words when discussing the departure of Texas and Texas A&M from the Big 12. Holgorson believes those two schools kept the Cougars out of the conference for decades.
The ACC still hasn’t made a decision on the addition of Stanford and Cal, but they did pair up with movie theaters in an agreement to show games on the big screen.
In Iowa news, Brian Ferentz’s updated contract begins this week. Ferentz and the Iowa Hawkeyes need to average 25 points per game and 7 wins for Ferentz to achieve the full financial benefits of his contract. Can the Hawkeyes do it?
Lastly, in news of the weird, the US may be following an egregious health initiative established by Canada.

Dan Wetzel, Ross Dellenger & SI’s Pat Forde provide their takeaways and thoughts from Week 0 of the college football season.
Notre Dame got off to a hot start with a drubbing of Navy behind new signal caller Sam Hartman. The Wake Forest transfer lived up to the hype and the Fighting Irish finally have a quarterback that they can depend on again.
USC faced off against San Jose State this weekend for their first game of the season. The Trojans won by a solid margin, but their defense quickly drew irritation from fans. The podcast speculates how this USC team will fare against teams that are strong in the trenches or play a particularly physical style of football.
It looks as if the ACC could add Stanford and Cal soon after ACC commissioner Jim Phillips and his team constructed new financial plans in the event that the conference expands. If this takes place, the Pac-4 will turn into the Pac-2 with Oregon State and Washington State remaining unclaimed by the other power conferences. The guys discuss if it’s likely they’ll join the Mountain West or the American Athletic Conference.
Arizona State has self-imposed a bowl ban for the 2023 season, leaving many shocked. After recruiting infractions under head coach Herm Edwards, it looked like the hammer was about to drop. The regime at Arizona State decided that for the first year under Kenny Dillingham, they will punish themselves before the NCAA has a chance to levy a harsher punishment.
The LSU Tigers have a huge Week 1 matchup against the Florida State Seminoles, so the show dives into what we can expect from Brian Kelly’s team in year two.
Miami of Ohio and the University of Miami face off in Week 1, which prompts a debate as to which Miami school should be the true Miami in college football.
Wrapping up the show, Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark attended a Texas Tech booster club dinner and let the nation know that he wants to see Texas Tech beat Texas this year as a proper send-off to the Longhorns from the Big 12.
