The 2025 college football season has officially surpassed the midway point of the regular season after the conclusion of a thrilling Week 8 slate.

CINCINNATI — A 49-17 win over the Oklahoma State Cowboys marked Cincinnati's sixth win of the 2025 season on Saturday night. It spelled out plenty of highlights from another rip-roaring showing of contributions from both sides of the ball.

Vanderbilt football is bowl eligible. The Commodores remain in the conversation for a spot in the College Football Playoff. And Vandy just knocked off its second top-10 team in two years at FirstBank Stadium.

Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin, rest assured, will be changing his signals ahead of Saturday's top-15 showdown at Oklahoma, a pivotal matchup in the SEC as college football's regular season approaches its final month.
