Holy Score: On Utah’s new “normal” offense, the early blowouts and the challenges to come (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Following the first road victory of his coaching career, Utah’s Morgan Scalley spent nine-and-a-half minutes Saturday afternoon fielding questions from the assembled media. Scalley discussed Wayshawn Parker’s touchdown run on the first play of what became a 31-17 win at Iowa State. He explained the adjustments the Cyclones made that gave Utah trouble in the third quarter. He addressed quarterback Devon Dampier’s poise under pressure and the benefits to playing a close game. All of it — every que
Pac-12 bowl projections: Utah to the playoff, UCLA to Las Vegas as Washington’s postseason math turns complicated (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Pac-12 bowl selection process in 2026 treats the former conference as if it never imploded, grouping the 12 legacy schools together just as it did the previous two years. Meanwhile, the new Pac-12 teams have separate postseason arrangements. To simplify the situation, we have split the 18 teams into two groups: Pac-12 legacy bowls and Pac-12 new bowls. Washington State and Oregon State are part of the legacy bowl process with the exception of the Poinsettia Bowl, where they would compete as
Saturday Night Five (plus one): Oregon beats USC, Lincoln Riley’s future, Washington’s meltdown and Boise State’s statement (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Instant reaction to Week 4 developments on the field … You know what they say: The more things change, the more USC wilts when it matters most. The Trojans have a new defensive coordinator, a pricier roster and more NFL draft picks than at any point in Lincoln Riley’s tenure. But it all added up the same result against their greatest nemesis. Last year, the Trojans lost at Oregon 42-27. On Saturday, they were one point better, losing 41-27 in the game Riley had to win more than any other this se
Mailbag: Yes, blowouts have increase (we have the data), plus CFP expansion, Pac-12 strategy, TV ratings and more (opens the original)

The Hotline mailbag publishes weekly. Please send questions to wilnerhotline@bayareanewsgroup.com and include “mailbag” in the subject line. Or hit me on the social media platform X: @WilnerHotline. Some questions have been edited for clarity and brevity. In case you missed it, last week’s mailbag examined which unit is worse: Oregon’s defense or Washington’s offense. It feels like the early-season mismatches in college football are becoming even more lopsided. Are they? Is NIL widening the gap
Utah and BYU are ranked, unbeaten, dominant and on collision course for an epic edition of the Holy War (opens the original)
Read excerpt
BYU and Utah won’t collide for 45 days. Too bad it’s not four or five. What might be the holiest of Holy Wars cannot come soon enough, not only for the teams and their fans but for the sport. The 2026 edition, set for Nov. 7 in Rice-Eccles Stadium, could have massive implications for the Big 12 championship and the College Football Playoff selection process. At the very least, it will be the third time this century when both BYU and Utah are ranked at the time of kickoff. What are the odds? Glad
