Here’s a college football story via the Associated Press:
The ebb and flow of the college football season hits a low this week if measured by the number of Top 25 matchups.
The only one is No. 9 Missouri at No. 25 Texas A&M, the fewest since there were no ranked teams pitted against each other during Week 3 last season.
Maybe it’s karma for the weekend we enjoyed last week. Bookending it were the Miami-Virginia Tech did-he-catch-it-or-not ending and that fantastic Alabama-Georgia finish.
Of course, there still are important games this week besides the Southeastern Conference showdown in College Station, Texas.
No. 12 Mississippi, upset by Kentucky at home, is in bounce-back mode on the road against a South Carolina team that beat the Wildcats by 25 points in Week 2.
No. 22 Louisville has a tough follow-up to its loss to Notre Dame when high-scoring SMU visits.
No. 3 Ohio State faces its biggest challenge to date when breakout star Kaleb Johnson leads Iowa into the Horseshoe.
Texas Tech, picked in the bottom half of the Big 12 preseason poll, has won four of five to start the season and gets a measuring-stick game at Arizona.
And don’t forget the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy series, which gets underway with unbeaten Navy at struggling Air Force.
Best game
No. 9 Missouri (4-0, 1-0 SEC) at No. 25 Texas A&M (4-1, 2-0), Saturday, noon ET (ABC)
Missouri hopes to play like a top-10 team in its road opener. The Tigers had to erase a 14-3 halftime deficit to beat Boston College and had to go two overtimes to get past Vanderbilt. They’ve had a week off to sort things out, mainly uncharacteristic red-zone and third-down struggles against Vandy.
The Aggies have won four straight since a close loss to Notre Dame. Marcel Reed has started the last three games at quarterback in place of the injured Connor Weigman. A&M coach Mike Elko said Weigman would be a game-time decision. Whoever starts, he’ll be going against the toughest defense the Aggies have faced.
BetMGM Sportsbook lists the Aggies as 2 1/2-point favorites.
Heisman watch
Ashton Jeanty is the best player in the Group of Five. How about the best in all of college football?
The folks at Boise State would argue he is, and the betting public is starting to take notice. He’s the No. 4 choice on BetMGM Sportsbook at 10-1 odds to win the Heisman Trophy, still well behind Alabama’s Jalen Milroe, Miami’s Cam Ward and Colorado’s Travis Hunter.
Alabama’s Derrick Henry was the last running back to win the Heisman, in 2015, and no player from a Group of Five school, as it would be defined now, has ever won it.
Jeanty is the nation’s leading rusher and has gone over 200 yards twice in four games. He had 259 yards and four touchdowns against Washington State last week, with 234 yards coming after contact. He forced 17 missed tackles.
He could put up equally prodigious numbers against Utah State’s porous defense Saturday.
Numbers to know
0 — First-quarter points allowed by Clemson.
9 — Mississippi WR Tre Harris’ nation-leading number of plays of at least 30 yards.
38 — Navy has scored at least this many points in its first four games of a season for the first time in the program’s 144-year history.
1971 — Year of Iowa State’s most recent conference road shutout before last week’s 20-0 win at Houston.
1994 — Year Duke last opened a season 5-0.
Under the radar
Rutgers (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) at Nebraska (4-1, 1-1), Saturday, 4 p.m. ET (FS1)
The Scarlet Knights probably merit more attention for their best start since 2012. They’re coming off close wins at Virginia Tech and at home against Washington. A road win against a Nebraska team on the rise under second-year coach Matt Rhule almost certainly would end their 12-year absence from the Top 25.
The Cornhuskers are looking for their offense to be sharper than it was in an ugly win at Purdue last week. A victory over Rutgers would move Nebraska within one win of bowl eligibility for the first time since 2016.
Hot seat
Florida State’s Mike Norvell has seen his fortunes turn dramatically.
A year ago, the Seminoles were on their way to 13-0 and an ACC championship before they were snubbed by the College Football Playoff committee because of an injury to their quarterback. A 63-13 Orange Bowl loss to Georgia was considered a one-off considering the Seminoles were No. 10 in the preseason Top 25 and predicted to win the ACC.
But here they sit, 1-4 with No. 15 Clemson up next. The offense is averaging just 15.2 points, the passing game has produced just four touchdowns and six interceptions and the run game is the fourth-least productive in the country. Brock Glenn will take over at quarterback for the injured DJ Uiagalelei.
Norvell was rewarded for last season with an eight-year, $84 million contract extension, and the Tallahassee Democrat reported his buyout would be $65 million. That should be enough to make his bosses think twice, or three times, about making a change.

San Diego FC manager Mickey Varas emphatically shut the door on any potential U-turn regarding the club’s decision to separate record-signing Hirving Lozano from the team’s 2026 plans.
It’s been a difficult start for San Diego’s sophomore season in Major League Soccer. Winless in their last six matches, the 2025 Western Conference finalists are currently sitting 10th in the conference standings. A player of Lozano’s caliber could theoretically help San Diego end their slump, but when asked about El Chuky’s potential return to the pitch, Varas had an unequivocal two-word response.
“No chance,” he said.
Two words are all it took for Varas to once again confirm that, under his watch, the Chuky Lozano era in San Diego is over.
What Happened Between San Diego and Lozano?
San Diego announced in January that Lozano was not part of the team’s plans for 2026 and encouraged him to look for a new team during the winter window. Lozano, who was the club’s first ever Designated Player signing, was cast aside after only one season, but why?
“It’s not worth getting into details,” Varas said about the situation in January. “This is a decision that was made based on an analysis of the whole year. This wasn’t just one thing that happened or something that happened at the end of the year.
“There were many things that we analyzed for us to decide we don’t fit together. This isn’t judging us as a club or him as a player, it’s simply saying that it’s not a good fit and what’s best for us is to continue without him.”
Lozano—still contracted with the MLS side through the 2028 season—has spent the entirety of 2026 training by himself, separated from his teammates, evidenced by recurring posts on his social media.
Cracks in Varas and Lozano’s relationship started at the tail-end of last season. The Mexico international was benched for the final game of the regular and one playoff match for a reported altercation with the manager, centered around the decision to substitute him at halftime in a previous outing. Disciplinary issues have been common for Lozano throughout his career.
The relationship between the pair fractured to a point of no return, and that’s widely regarded as the main reason for the current situation.
Lozano had offers to leave the club this winter, but the player refused to relinquish the fourth-highest salary in MLS, even if that meant giving up on the opportunity to represent Mexico in his third career World Cup this summer.
But with Varas doubling-down on his decision to do without Lozano, the saga will continue into the coming months.
Important Summer for San Diego, Lozano
The summer transfer window represents the next potential opportunity for Lozano and San Diego to go their separate ways.
The club could certainly use Lozano’s DP spot to target a high-caliber reinforcement, and finding a new home would allow El Chucky to get his career back on track considering he hasn’t played a single minute since Nov. 2025; however, the 30-year-old’s reluctancy to waive his lucrative salary could continue unless San Diego offers him a juicy payout.
The player seems unbothered by the situation. If Lozano has already surrendered his World Cup hopes in favor of his salary, then evidence suggests he’d have no issue continuing this way.
Alternatively, if San Diego’s struggles continue, and Varas can’t correct course, then it’s not out of the question that his manager job could potentially be at stake—especially with Lozano’s situation casting a dark cloud on the team’s season. If a new manager were to come in, then it’s not unrealistic to assume Lozano could be granted a second chance.
This last scenario is perhaps the least likely, meaning once again, Lozano and San Diego will have to make a decision on what the future holds this summer. The player has all the leverage, but how long can he continue training by himself before he decides enough is enough?

SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — For more than six decades now, South Mission Beach in San Diego has been the epicenter for Southern California Beach Volleyball.
Starting in 1965, when the nets first went up, pros and amateurs alike have been fine-tuning their skills from sunrise to sunset.
“This is the only time of day we can practice and play. Most of us work and have busy lives, so the mornings are the only time we can play, and have been for decades”, says Nathaniel Hentchel.
But as it turns out, the sunset sessions at South Mission Beach Volleyball Courts are not allowed, and never have been. Officially, the city courts do not open until 8:00 a.m. But after decades of zero enforcement, the city is suddenly threatening to issue tickets to anyone playing before that time.
“You know these courts have been used every morning for decades. A lot of people out here are shaking their heads, wondering why now. We don’t make noise; we clean up after ourselves. We understand the 8:00 a.m. start time. But it’s never been enforced until now,” says Richard Bailey.
According to the city, the sudden crackdown is the result of noise complaints from nearby homeowners and vacation renters. Many of the homes around here are short-term rentals. They also say it’s never been allowed, even though it happens every morning of every week and has for decades.
“To suddenly enforce it now, why? This is a cultural tradition here in San Diego. Believe me, there’s a lot more noise out here every morning than volleyball players,” says Anne Luempert.
“That’s louder than anything we do out here. Those airplanes are so loud, we have to pause our games just to hear the score called out,” says Barbara Birnbaum.
As a tight-knit culture, there is a certain amount of self policing out here. Including posted signs stating no music until 9:00 a.m., enforced by the players themselves.
So with the threat of losing a lifelong cultural tradition, a movement has begun within the community to change the rules and protect the precious morning tradition.
“So I started a petition on Change.Org to change the rules. We put it up two days ago and got 1,400 signatures in the first day. We now have almost 2,000. We want to have the city change the rules to reflect our community. Part of those rules will be no music until after 9:00 a.m.”
The volleyball groups have also reached out to city council members, hoping they will officially change the hours to reflect reality.
But ironically, these rules only apply to city-owned courts.
If you bring your own poles and a volleyball net, you can play from sunset to sunrise on nearby courts, and no one will harass you.
