According to ESPN's Pete Thamel, Oklahoma State is firing longtime head coach Mike Gundy. Gundy has been the program's head coach since 2005 and has compiled a 170-90 record in Stillwater. However, his team is 4-11 over the last two seasons, and it has felt like time for a fresh start for both sides. The 58-year-old led Oklahoma State to four Big 12 Championship games with one victory, and he was just one win away from leading the 2011 team to the BCS National Championship. It will be interesting to see where he goes from here, but the Cowboys program will now be tasked with replacing its longtime head coach and former quarterback. With Texas and Oklahoma out of the Big 12, the conference is wide open, and Oklahoma State could become a major threat in the conference if it makes the right hire.

The Atlantic Coast Conference has issued a $25,000 fine to Syracuse for the "feigning of injuries" during Saturday's win over Clemson. "With 9:25 remaining in the fourth quarter, Syracuse violated NCAA Football Rule 3-3-6-b," the statement from the ACC said, "Which addresses the feigning of injuries by players, declaring it 'unethical and contrary to the spirit of the rules.'" The ACC stated the Orange demonstrated a clear attempt to gain an advantage by stopping the game to secure an injury timeout. "Faking" injuries has become a problem in college football, and it is expected to be addressed this season and moving forward with a loss of a timeout, or in this case, a monetary penalty. Syracuse improved to 3-1 with its road victory over Clemson, but the Orange are expected to be without quarterback Steve Angeli (Achilles) for the remainder of the season.

Syracuse quarterback Steve Angeli will miss the rest of the 2025 season with a torn Achilles suffered in the third quarter of Syracuse's 34-21 win at Clemson. Angeli is expected to file for and receive a medical redshirt, which would give him two college seasons of eligibility. Backup Rickie Collins Jr., a transfer from LSU, is expected to take over at quarterback for the Orange for the rest of the season. Angeli ends his 2025 season with 1,316 passing yards, 10 touchdowns, and two interceptions. Angeli was the FBS leader in passing yards coming into the Clemson game. Collins has completed seven of his 14 passes this season for 99 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.

Syracuse quarterback Steve Angeli (undisclosed) will be out "for a long time," according to Syracuse head coach Fran Brown in a radio interview after the Orange's 34-21 win over Clemson. Angeli briefly exited the game in the first half, but was able to return until he stumbled on a quarterback keeper in the third quarter and fell without being hit. He was spotted on crutches on the sideline during the next Clemson possession. Angeli completed 18 of 31 passes for 244 yards and two touchdowns before leaving the game. Redshirt sophomore Rickie Collins will take over for the Orange. Collins, a transfer from LSU, is 11 for 13 passing for 103 yards with a touchdown and an interception in his career. His first career touchdown was to Justyn Ross-Simmons to complete the same drive in which Angeli went down.

Florida State quarterback Thomas Castellanos (ankle) left the Seminoles' 66-10 victory over Kent State in the second quarter and did not return on Saturday. After the game, Castellanos claimed that he is "all good" after rolling his ankle. The Seminoles didn't need him to complete the win, and the team has a short week as they play Virginia on Friday night. That resulted in Coach Mike Norvell holding Castellanos out for the rest of the game. Castellanos completed 10 of his 13 passes for 205 yards and ran seven times for 54 yards and a pair of touchdowns before the injury. He is expected to play with no limitations at Virginia on Friday night.

South Carolina claimed a 34-30 win at home in 2024. Sellers has completed 29 of 45 passes for 431 yards and two touchdowns to one interception this season. He has added one rushing touchdown.

Texas Tech quarterback Behren Morton (head) has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's matchup against Utah. The senior exited in the third quarter after taking a hit to the head while scrambling, leaving with the Red Raiders leading 10-3. Sophomore Will Hammond has stepped in under center and is showing composure in a tough Big 12 road test. Morton will have a bye week to recover before Texas Tech's October 4 matchup at Houston.

Auburn star receiver Eric Singleton Jr. (hip) is listed as questionable on the SEC injury report ahead of Saturday's game at Oklahoma. The SEC opener for both teams is a pivotal matchup as both Auburn and Oklahoma are currently ranked and looking to improve upon poor showings a season ago. The Georiga Tech transfer is tied with sophomore Cam Coleman in receiving yards with 149. He has scored two touchdowns on the season so far. If he can't go, expect Coleman to lead the way through the air for Auburn.

According to ESPN's Pete Thamel, there is optimism that South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers (head) could play against Missouri on Saturday. After throwing just seven passes for 94 yards and an interception, the sophomore exited last week's game against Vanderbilt and entered concussion protocol after suffering a head injury. While he will have to clear concussion protocol, this is obviously an encouraging report for the Gamecocks, who could have their dynamic quarterback available for the all-important road trip to "the other" Columbia. In three games this season, Sellers has tallied 431 passing yards, 45 rushing yards, three total touchdowns, and one interception.

Colorado quarterback Kaidon Salter is expected to start against Wyoming on Saturday, according to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports. The Liberty transfer started the team's first two games of the season before being benched for Ryan Staub for last week's loss to Houston. Salter completed 68.2% of his passes for 261 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions in his first two games with the Buffaloes. He was a dynamic passer and runner with the Flames, and Colorado is hoping to get similar production out of him after dropping two of its three games to open the 2025 campaign.

Updating from a previous report, Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia said he is not seeking a seventh year of collegiate eligibility. After a report came out suggesting his attorney is challenging the NCAA for another season, Pavia took to X and said, "This is my last year." The 24-year-old has played in 43 games over the last four seasons with New Mexico State and Vanderbilt, tallying 7,361 passing yards, 2,361 rushing yards, and 87 total touchdowns. After beating South Carolina last week, the Commodores are seeking consecutive bowl berths for the first time since 2012 and 2013 when James Franklin was the head coach in Nashville.

Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia is reportedly seeking another year of collegiate eligibility after being granted an injunction, making him eligible for the 2025 season last year. The 24-year-old is already in his sixth season of college football during his second campaign at Vanderbilt after spending two years at New Mexico Military Institute and two years at New Mexico State. Pavia's attorney is delivering oral arguments in the Pavia vs. NCAA case on Tuesday. This is obviously a situation worth monitoring, as Pavia has become one of the nation's most dynamic quarterbacks through 16 games with the Commadores. So far in 2025, Pavia has tallied 645 passing yards, seven passing touchdowns, and 129 rushing yards to lead Vanderbilt to a 3-0 record, including wins over South Carolina and Virginia Tech on the road.

TCU leading rusher Kevorian Barnes (leg) is questionable for Saturday's rivalry game against SMU. Barnes hurt his leg last week in the win over Abilene Christian. He torched the North Carolina defense in Week 1 for 113 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries. The UTSA transfer has been a good fit in Kendal Briles' system, and his absence would be a blow in the big game. If Barnes can't go, expect the Horned Frogs to roll with a committee of Jeremy Payne, Nate Palmer, and Trent Battle, who have all received carries this season.
