Big 12 FPI rankings: Week 4 - Big 12 Blog - ESPN
Kansas got a six-spot jump in FPI for its 24-10 win over Central Michigan, but FPI does not project KU to be a favorite in any game the rest of the season. (Editor's Note: Yet, it still predicts a 3-9 record? This doesn't make sense.)
Big 12 weekend rewind: Week 4 - Big 12 Blog - ESPN
Big (defensive) man on campus: Jake Love. Ben Heeney gets most of the love on the Kansas defense. But Heeney’s wingman at linebacker was the difference-maker in the Jayhawks’ 24-10 win over Central Michigan. Love had four tackles for loss and a sack and snuffed out two Central Michigan screen plays late in the game when the Chippewas still had a chance to tie.

Michigan Wolverines pull plug on Coke-for-tickets deal - ESPN
For a while Monday, Michigan fans received two tickets to Saturday's game against Minnesota simply by purchasing a couple of bottles of Coca-Cola, according to a UM spokesman. The two tickets, with a total face value of $150, could be obtained by purchasing two Coca-Cola products for $3.

Eligible receivers can't be lined up within five yards of the sideline when they're within the bench area (between the 32-yard lines). If Manziel was at the 28-yard line for this play, it would have been legal.

'South Park,' 'Daily Show' skewer Washington Redskins, fans | Shutdown Corner - Yahoo Sports
Start with the season premiere of "South Park"'s 18th season, above. It takes the Redskins' loss of trademark rights and twists it into a not-so-subtle commentary on the way that a name might not be the innocent "honorable tribute" that some would like it to be.
