Mississippi State unveiling a special uniform combo for Alabama week tells you exactly where that program's priorities sit, and honestly good for them. You will not out-talent Tuscaloosa, so you might as well out-dress the box score. The cowbells will still outwork both end zones.

Potential Texas Longhorn Football 2027 Portal Targets

I have a short list of guys to keep my eyes on, but perhaps you can help me expand it? Factors include need, realism, NIL hit, and team/scheme fit.

Seventy million dollar buyout and the analyst's take is still "may not be enough." USC built a number so big it was supposed to end the conversation, and instead it's the whole conversation. Lincoln Riley's defense has had longer to improve than most marriages get.
