A Non-NFL Sunday as the Rams Had a Bye

Sunday, October 26, 2025

Since the Los Angeles Rams had a bye, I had no interest in any of the NFL action today.

Still, it was nice to see that the San Francisco 49ers (5-3) lost to the Houston Texans (3-4) this afternoon, 26-15, to slip into third place while the Rams (5-2) and Seattle Seahawks (5-2) are now tied for first place in the NFC West.

The latest AP Top 24 Poll was released this afternoon.

Still no Washington Huskies at 6-2

Even with wins in the Huskies next three games at Wisconsin (2-6), vs. Purdue (2-6) and at UCLA (3-5) may not move the needle much in the polls.

A win at home over currently #6 Oregon (7-1) in the season's final regular season game would be a huge plus on many levels though.

NCAA Division I only has

six perfect teams left

Texas A&M Aggies (8-0)

Southeast Conference

Brigham Young Cougars (8-0)

Big-XII Conference

Georgia Tech Yellowjackets (8-0)

Atlantic Coast Conference

Navy Midshipmen (7-0)

American Athletic Conference

Ohio State Buckeyes (7-0)

Big-10 Conference

Indiana Hoosiers (8-0)

Big-10 Conference

As for the perfect teams at the NCAA's FCS level . . .

There are only six of them too

From top to bottom:

Harvard Crimson (6-0)

Ivy League

Lehigh Mountain Hawks  (8-0)

Patriot League

Montana Grizzlies (8-0)

Big Sky Conference

North Dakota State Bison (8-0)

Missouri Valley Football Conference

Tarleton State Texans (9-0)

United Athletic Conference

Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles (8-0)

Big South-Ohio Valley Football Association

Then there was another long discussed, high profile firing in the college ranks announced this evening . . .

The Louisiana State Tigers

are looking for a new coach

Now a former Head Coach, Brian Kelly, had a career record at LSU of 34-14.

At LSU, that was not good enough, especially when the Bayou Bengals lost three of their last four games while ranked #4 at #13 Mississippi, 24-19, as the #10 ranked club at #17 Vanderbilt, 31-24, and last night when LSU was still ranked #20 vs. #3 ranked Texas A&M, 49-25.

Before coming to LSU, Kelly was the Head Coach at Notre Dame for 12 seasons with a record of 113-39. Twenty-one of those wins in 2012 and 2013 were later vacated by the NCAA.

How will Kelly and his family survive in these trying times without a job in hand you may ask.

Quite well, thanks to the hefty

buyout clause in his LSU contract

that still had six seasons left

I leave you with a question . . .
