"CFP Considers Withholding Revenue as SMU Joins Power Five"

The College Football Playoff (CFP) leaders are considering withholding additional revenue from SMU despite its move to the Power Five conference, breaking with recent precedent. The CFP is expected to approve a new playoff format and discuss a policy requiring a league to have at least eight members for playoff eligibility. SMU, transitioning to the ACC, may miss out on a significant revenue increase, which could impact its financial expectations and commitments. This issue highlights the broader financial tensions within college football as conferences and the CFP negotiate new television and revenue distribution deals.

"College Football Playoff: Week 4 Bowl Projections and Playoff Expansion Updates"

After Week 4 of college football, the playoff field is starting to take shape. Clemson's loss eliminates them from the playoff picture, while teams like Florida State, Ohio State, and Notre Dame had close calls. Alabama, LSU, Tennessee, and Notre Dame are among the teams with little margin for error. Only 21 teams from the Power Five remain undefeated, with the ACC leading with six. Conference play will likely reduce the number of unbeaten teams, making it unlikely for four teams to make it to the finish line. The focus should be on taking care of business one week at a time.

Sean Lewis's Gamble as Colorado's Offensive Leader is Paying Off

Sean Lewis took a risk by leaving his head coaching job at Kent State to become the offensive coordinator for the Colorado Buffaloes. Despite going winless in nonconference games against Power Five schools, Lewis had gained a reputation as an accomplished play caller and offensive wizard. In his first game with Colorado, Lewis helped lead the team to a 45-42 victory over TCU, scoring the most points on the Horned Frogs at their home in five years. Lewis' offensive scheme, influenced by Art Briles, has been successful throughout his coaching career, and he has quickly become a hot commodity in the coaching profession.
