* Fill-in the blank…The two Notre Dame players who were the most pleasant surprises in 2024 were BLANK and BLANK.
* Indiana, Arizona State, SMU, Army, and Navy all had surprising big seasons last year. We rank them in the order we think they have the best chance to keep it going this year.
* We guess Arizona State’s Vegas over/under win total for the season.
* The NFL has fined the Atlanta Falcons $250,000 and defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich $100,000 after Ulbrich’s 21-year-old son made the prank call to Shedeur Sanders during last weekend’s draft. Ulbrich’s son got the number from his dad’s open iPad before he pranked Sanders. Does the punishment fit the crime?

* Fox has hired Robert Griffin III to be a college football game analyst. He’ll replace Brock Huard and join Jason Benetti as the network’s No. 2 college football team. Are you in or out on RGIII in the college football game booth?
