"The Bears take the field without nine-year coach Justin Wilcox, who was fired last Sunday following the Bears' 31-10 collapse in the Big Game at Stanford. Interim head coach Nick Rolovich, who is among at least 14 names on general manager Ron Rivera's list of potential replacements, indicated Tuesday he likely would be open to remaining on the staff even if someone else is chosen as coach. Rolovich served most of this season as senior offensive analyst . . ."
"At No. 21 in the College Football Playoff rankings and 25th in the AP Top-25, SMU clinches a spot in the ACC championship game with a win at Cal. If the Mustangs lose, there are three complicated (and unlikely) tiebreaker formulas that still can land them a bid . . . SMU has won six of its past seven games, coinciding with 10 new starters joining the lineup after a 35-24 loss at TCU led the Mustangs at 2-2 . . ."

Freshman quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele has 2,787 passing yards and needs 117 more to move past Aaron Rodgers into Cal's top-10 single-season list. Senior defensive lineman Aidan Keanaaina has 49 tackles. SMU is 8-3, ranked No. 21 in the CFP and 25th in the AP, and can clinch the ACC championship game with a win. Quarterback Kevin Jennings has thrown for 3,113 yards and 24 touchdowns, and coach Rhett Lashlee recently signed an extension through 2032.
