Arkansas coaching search: SMU's Rhett Lashlee dismisses 'speculation' regarding Razorbacks ties

The former Arkansas QB made his stance clear

Arkansas' decision to fire Sam Pittman immediately sparked speculation about who might be next to lead the Razorbacks. SMU coach Rhett Lashlee saw his name quickly surface. A former Arkansas quarterback, Lashlee guided SMU through one of the most successful stretches in school history. That success, coupled with his Fayetteville ties, makes him a natural target in early conversations about Arkansas' vacancy.
Lashlee is not playing along.

"I don't stand anywhere on speculation and hypotheticals," Lashlee said during his weekly press conference. "I'm happy, I've got a great job. I think when your name gets linked to jobs it means your team has done well, the program has done well. So it's a compliment to what our staff and administration and players have built over the last three-plus years. Then a lot of times there's obvious connections. If it's your alma mater, it's easy to link names. But I haven't given it any thought because there hasn't been anything to give thought to. It's a great, fair question. But I'm really excited with what we're building here."

The Razorbacks' move comes after a rough start to 2025. Pittman, who delivered three winning seasons during his tenure, dropped to 13-16 over his last 29 games after Saturday's 56-13 blowout loss to Notre Dame at home. Arkansas has not reached double-digit wins in a season since 2011 under Bobby Petrino and now faces the challenge of stabilizing the program in an SEC that only continues to get deeper and stronger.
Lashlee, meanwhile, positioned SMU as a rising power in its new ACC home. Since taking over in 2022, he led the Mustangs to a pair of 11-win seasons, an American Conference championship and an appearance in last year's expanded College Football Playoff as the ACC runner-up.

Even with a 2-2 start in 2025, Lashlee built sustained success at SMU, going 22-6 over his last 28 games. That stretch allowed the Mustangs to strengthen their program, including increased investment in facilities and recruiting. Lashlee emphasized that the combination of experienced players and top-ranked recruiting classes has SMU positioned for continued growth and competitiveness in the ACC.


"Until there's things to talk about, you don't talk about them," Lashlee said. "Internally, we haven't said a word about it because, in my world, nothing's going on. Outside, there's a lot of that speculation, and that's part of our business, and it's probably not going anywhere."

These 6 underdog QBs are lighting up college football, but do they have any shot at the NFL?

From transfers to late bloomers, these six sleeper quarterbacks are turning heads in college football -- but do they project as NFL prospects?

https://www.cbssports.com/writers/cooper-petagna/

Evaluating quarterbacks has never been harder. College numbers lie, and the NFL game chews up prospects faster than ever. For every Burrow or Stroud who makes the jump clean, there are dozens who light up Saturdays but can't survive Sundays. Size, scheme, toughness, decision-making -- it all matters, but plenty of times it comes down to instincts you can't measure. The gap between a Day 3 pick and a camp body is razor thin.
This year, a handful of guys who don't exactly scream "prototype NFL QB" are giving scouts something to think about. Transfers, journeymen, system kids -- are they just the classic "awesome college QB who won't play in the NFL?" or do we need to rethink that logic on the heels of Dillon Gabriel being a Day 2 NFL pick (and newly minted QB1 in Cleveland) and a more general acceptance from the NFL level in the type of college QB who years ago probably weren't legit draft prospects.

College Football QB Power Rankings: Ole Miss' Trinidad Chambliss, Vanderbilt's Diego Pavia on the rise

College Football QB Power Rankings: Ole Miss' Trinidad Chambliss, Vanderbilt's Diego Pavia on the rise

Here's where this year's group of "awesome college QBs who don't look like NFL guys" realistically stand as next-level prospects.


team logo

Trinidad Chambliss, Ole Miss: The D-II transfer who won't blink

Draft Projection: Day 3

Chambliss came over from Ferris State without much fanfare. He wasn't supposed to play, but Austin Simmons' injury shoved him into the spotlight. All he's done since: keep Ole Miss afloat. He's undersized (6-feet, 200), but the kid competes. Completing 64% with a 5-to-1 TD/INT ratio, plus 260 rushing yards. His LSU tape was the eye-opener -- calm, decisive, didn't blink. He's never going to be a prototype, but in the right system he can hang. Think Tyrod Taylor-lite: tough, resourceful, a guy who sticks around.







team logo

Haynes King, Georgia Tech: Athlete in search of a position

Draft Projection: Day 3/UDFA

King's been a rollercoaster since his days at Texas A&M. Now he's running around for Georgia Tech, putting together an undefeated start. He's completing 68%, tossed a few scores, and racked up 380 yards and seven TDs on the ground. At 6-3, 215, the frame and athleticism jump out. The arm? Not as much. Feels like one of those "what else can he play?" prospects -- maybe a slash role, maybe a project tight end. Scouts will argue about it. Best guess: UDFA who gets a camp look because somebody falls in love with the tools.

team logo

Diego Pavia, Vanderbilt: Grit and grind, but short runway

Draft Projection: Day 3/UDFA

If you like grinders, Pavia's your guy. The second-year New Mexico State transfer is now at Vanderbilt, suddenly throwing darts at a 74% clip. He processes fast, plays fearless, and makes things happen when the play breaks down. Problem is, he'll be 25 years old by draft time, and the frame isn't ideal. Trace McSorley (one NFL start), John Wolford (four) are realistic comparisons. Gritty, smart, can help a team, but not built for a long runway. He'll get a shot, but late Day 3 or UDFA is his reality.

team logo

Joey Aguilar, Tennessee: Product of system?

Draft Projection: Day 3/UDFA

Aguilar screams Josh Heupel QB: tempo, vertical shots, and stat sheets that pop. The App State transfer has 13 TDs on 65% passing, pushing nine yards per attempt. At 6-3, 225, he's got the frame, though he's not much of a runner. The big question: is it him, or is it the system? Scouts have been burned on the veer-and-shoot archetype before, most recently in Hendon Hooker. Right now, Aguilar looks like a backup who's worth a late pick. Maybe you stash and see if he can function outside the scheme on the practice squad.


team logo

Athan Kaliakmanis, Rutgers: Reliable but limited

Draft Projection: Day 3/UDFA

Kaliakmanis won't wow you, but he won't lose you games either. Since leaving Minnesota for Rutgers, he's completed 67% for nearly 1,400 yards with a clean 9-to-2 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Average arm, average athleticism, but he knows who he is. Gets the ball out on time, makes smart reads, doesn't overextend.
The "Greek Rifle" is in the Nick Mullens bucket as steady backup material. Not flashy, but teams like guys they can trust in a pinch.


team logo

Kevin Jennings, SMU: Twitchy wild card with juice

Draft Projection: Day 3/UDFA

Jennings is the gambler's pick. Just 6-feet and 192 pounds, but he's completing 68%, throwing for over 1,100 and nine scores with a twitchy release and juice all over his tape. He's raw: accuracy wavers, decisions get risky (as we saw in the College Football Playoff vs. Penn State), and the run game production hasn't matched his elusiveness yet. But the flashes pop. Stick around another year, and he could climb into the middle rounds. For now? He's a late Day 3 flyer with a chance to surprise.

College Football QB Power Rankings: Ole Miss' Trinidad Chambliss, Vanderbilt's Diego Pavia on the rise

SEC quarterbacks are making waves entering Week 6 of the season

https://www.cbssports.com/writers/david-cobb/

pavia-qb-power-rankings-copy.jpg
CBS Sports graphic
Few quarterbacks have clearly separated themselves as college football's elite, and the shifting landscape continues to shake up the leaderboard. There's a new No. 1 in this week's quarterback power rankings, as former Division II transfer-turned-Ole Miss star Trinidad Chambliss climbs into the top spot. He's one of three SEC quarterbacks in the top five entering Week 6.
Still, the Big Ten leads all Power Four conferences with 11 quarterbacks in the top 50, followed closely by the Big 12 and its QB Club. Oregon's Dante Moore announced his arrival with a poised, three-touchdown performance in Penn State's raucous "White Out" in Week 5. But in two weeks, he'll face another big test in a head-to-head showdown with Indiana's Fernando Mendoza on CBS.
Before then, Week 6 delivers one of the most intriguing quarterback duels in the SEC as Vanderbilt's Diego Pavia heads to Tuscaloosa to square off with Alabama's Ty Simpson. Pavia has become one of the league's most productive playmakers, while Simpson has surged into the Heisman conversation behind his mistake-free efficiency.
Iowa State's Rocco Becht and Cincinnati's Brendan Sorsby square off in a sneaky Big 12 matchup that doubles as a showcase for two talented quarterbacks. Sorsby has carved up opposing defenses since Week 2.

These rankings are not a Heisman forecast, draft projection or season-long outlook. They are a real-time reaction to performance, weighing competition, game pressure and production. With that, here are this week's power rankings of college football's top 50 quarterbacks.

2025 Heisman Trophy roundtable: Dante Moore, John Mateer among standout candidates through September
Chris Hummer
2025 Heisman Trophy roundtable: Dante Moore, John Mateer among standout candidates through September

1. Trinidad Chambliss, Ole Miss

It's clear now that Lane Kiffin may have had the wrong QB1 to start the season. Since stepping in for an injured Austin Simmons, the Division II transfer has dazzled, leading Ole Miss to a Week 5 win over LSU with 314 passing yards, a touchdown and 71 yards rushing. Chambliss continues to prove he can handle the Rebels offense. Last week: 5

2. Diego Pavia, Vanderbilt

Who knows where the Commodores would be without Pavia taking advantage of an extra year of eligibility. With six total touchdowns in a Week 5 win over Utah State, he now tops the SEC in total scores and ranks among the national leaders in completion percentage (74.6%) and passer rating (184.62). Vanderbilt will need that and more as they face a brutal slate of SEC opponents in the weeks ahead. Last week: 6

3. Haynes King, Georgia Tech

Nobody grinds out wins quite like King and Georgia Tech. In Week 5 at Wake Forest, he notched his 13th career game with both a passing and rushing touchdown, breaking the Yellow Jackets' all-time record. After turnovers on each of Georgia Tech's first three possessions this season, King has committed just one lost fumble and no interceptions over the last 256 snaps with 10 total touchdowns. Last week: 3

4. Fernando Mendoza, Indiana

A slight dip in the rankings this week for Mendoza after a close win at Iowa. The Indiana quarterback threw his first interception of the season but added two more touchdowns, still giving him the best touchdown-to-interception ratio in the FBS. The Hoosiers are in the driver's seat for a return trip to the College Football Playoff with Mendoza set to face a tough test at Oregon in Week 7. Last week: 1

5. Ty Simpson, Alabama

Suddenly, Simpson is the one rising up the Heisman Trophy odds after leading the Crimson Tide to another win against Georgia. The first-year starter is one of just three Power Four quarterbacks with at least 120 pass attempts without an interception so far this season. Under coach Kalen DeBoer, the offensive system is starting to click, and coordinator Ryan Grubb has tailored the scheme perfectly to Simpson's strengths. Last week: 5

6. Dante Moore, Oregon
Going into Happy Valley and upsetting Penn State during a "White Out" is no small feat, but that's exactly what Moore delivered for Oregon, completing 74.4% of his passes for three touchdowns. The poise he displayed under such hostile conditions underscores why he's quickly emerging as one of college football's most reliable and confident signal-callers this season. Moore is the betting favorite for the Heisman Trophy at +600 according to FanDuel Sportsbook. Last week: 12


7. CJ Carr, Notre Dame
Carr has thrived against two of the weakest passing defenses in the Power Four over the past two weeks, tossing for a combined 577 yards and six touchdowns for Notre Dame. What stands out is his aggressiveness downfield, averaging 11.5 air yards per attempt -- tied for ninth among FBS quarterbacks with at least 20 attempts per game. Last week: 29

8. Sawyer Robertson, Baylor

Anytime the opposing defensive coordinator is shown the door the next day, it's a clear indicator of a dominant performance. Unsurprisingly, Robertson carved up Oklahoma State's secondary for 393 yards and four touchdowns, setting season highs in both yards per attempt (11.2) and completion rate (68.6%). The Baylor quarterback now leads the FBS with 17 passing touchdowns and 342.6 passing yards per game. Last week: 16

9. Josh Hoover, TCU

Hoover is one of the biggest fallers in this week's updated rankings. For just the fourth time in 23 starts at TCU, he failed to throw a touchdown pass in a 27-24 loss to Arizona State, a game in which the Horned Frogs squandered a 17-0 lead. A key reason for the setback was top target and wide receiver Eric McCalister being limited to just 12 snaps. Last week: 2

10. Jayden Maiava, USC

Maiava had, without question, his roughest outing of the season in USC's loss at Illinois, even though he still threw for 364 yards and two touchdowns. Both scores came to Makai Lemon in the fourth quarter, erasing a 14-point deficit and giving the Trojans a late lead after a successful 2-point conversion. Despite tossing his first interception of the season, the defeat wasn't on Maiava alone. Last week: 7

11. Byrum Brown, South Florida

Byrum has been the driving force behind the Bulls' start. His skillset fits perfectly in Alex Golesh's veer-and-shoot offense, and if USF hopes to contend for an American Conference title and a spot in the College Football Playoff Byrum will need to continue pushing the tempo and stretching defenses over the next couple months. Last week: 10

12. Luke Altmyer, Illinois

Altmyer bounced back from Illinois' blowout loss at Indiana to engineer a win over USC, passing for more than 300 yards for just the third time since joining the Fighting Illini. He threw three touchdowns and helped set up the game-winning field goal in the two-minute drill. Remarkably, Altmyer has yet to turn the ball over -- or even put it on the ground -- this season, maintaining perfect ball security. Last week: 21

13. Joey Aguilar, Tennessee

Aguilar showed grit, overcoming a pair of interceptions to lead Tennessee to an overtime win that quieted the Mississippi State cowbells. On a 13-play, 75-yard game-tying drive in the fourth quarter, he completed all six passes for 54 yards before capping it with a decisive 6-yard touchdown run. Last week: 14

14. Brendan Sorsby, Cincinnati

The Sorsby show is rolling. After Nebraska's secondary rattled him early, he's been unstoppable, throwing 10 touchdowns with zero interceptions in his last three games. His 11.9 yards per attempt since Week 2 leads all FBS quarterbacks with at least 20 attempts per game, putting defenses on notice. Suddenly Cincinnati looks like a potential contender in the Big 12. Last week: 48

15. Julian Sayin, Ohio State

Making his first road start since high school (!!), Sayin ended Washington's 22-game home winning streak with a poised, methodical performance. After missing on three of his first seven passes, he completed 10 straight before finishing 22-of-28 for 208 yards and two touchdowns for top-ranked Ohio State. Last week: 28

16. Devon Dampier, Utah

It's obvious now that a fully healthy Dampier is wayyy more effective than the one hobbled in the Texas Tech loss. The Utah quarterback looked sharp and decisive at West Virginia, piling up five total touchdowns while completing 80.8% of his passes at a season-best 9.1 yards per attempt to power the Week 5 win. Last week: 20

17. Sam Leavitt, Arizona State

Out-dueling Josh Hoover was a massive boost for Leavitt's stock. The Arizona State quarterback spearheaded a furious rally from 17 points down, tossing two touchdown passes and adding a rushing score. From the middle of the second quarter into the early fourth, Leavitt was nearly flawless, completing 16 of 18 throws to keep the Sun Devils offense humming. Last week: 42

18. Rocco Becht, Iowa State

Becht had a streak of 22 consecutive games with at least one passing touchdown that was snapped in a win against Arizona, but made up for it with a career-best three rushing scores to propel Iowa State. Back-to-back road games coming up for the Cyclones will test whether Becht can keep finding ways to carry the offense. Last week: 26

19. Carson Beck, Miami

Beck hasn't needed eye-popping stats to keep Miami unbeaten, but that could change this week. The Hurricanes head to Tallahassee for a marquee showdown with Florida State, whose secondary has limited explosive plays while also piling up takeaways. Last week: 17

20. Dylan Raiola, Nebraska

Statistically, Raiola has played like a top-10 quarterback in the FBS this season, but a few flaws still keep him outside the elite tier. Better protection up front would smooth out those rough edges, giving him more chances to push the ball downfield. Still, without Raiola, Nebraska's offense looks rather ordinary -- he's the difference between respectability and irrelevance. Last week: 18

Quote of the Day
“From the second he’s (Dillon Gabriel) been here, he’s been working very hard. He’s a very intelligent young man. He’s done a nice job throughout practice, and this whole season he’s been learning how to get yourself ready and understand the rhythm of an NFL week and what that looks like as a backup. Obviously, now feel like he’s ready to go as a starter.”
Browns coach Kevin Stefanski

Thursday’s quiz
Which major league team has gone the longest since the last time they won a playoff series?

Wednesday’s quiz
2019 was last time the World Series went to seven games, when Washington beat Houston.

Tuesday’s quiz
In the history of the New York Jets, Joe Namath has thrown for the most yards.

************************************************

Thursday’s Den: Doing some thinking out loud…….

— ESPN had a good day Wednesday; three of the four Wild Card series are tied 1-1, so we have three winner-take-all games Thursday. Winner-take-all games get good ratings.
Here is the schedule:
3:00 Tigers @ Cleveland
5:00 Padres @ Chicago
8:00 Red Sox @ New York
This is the first time since 1981 there are three winner-take-all games on the same day.

— Guardians 6, Tigers 1
Cleveland scored five runs in the bottom of the 8th.
Rocchio, Naylor homered in that 8th inning.
Flaherty vs Cecconi is Thursday’s matchup.

— Padres 3, Cubs 0
San Diego bullpen got 16 outs, allowed one baserunner.
Machado hit a 2-run homer in the fifth inning.
Darvish vs Taillon is Thursday’s matchup.

— New York 4, Red Sox 3
Austin Wells had game-winning hit, in the 8th inning.
Trevor Story knocked in all three Boston runs.
Early vs Schlittler is Thursday’s matchup.

— Dodgers 8, Reds 4
Mookie Betts went 4-for-5, with three RBI
Spots 7-9 in Dodger batting order went 7-12 with five runs scored.
Dodgers move on to play the Phillies in the next round.

— Monday in New York City, Mets’ president of baseball operations David Stearns hosted a press conference the day after the Mets’ season ended without the Mets making the playoffs, even though their payroll was $340,085,003.
What went wrong? Mets were 45-25 on June 13th, then went 38-54 the rest of the season.
Lot of tough questions at the news conference, Stearns kept his cool, it is all part of the job, but it had to be a rough couple of hours for him.
Juan Soto, Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso earned a combined $125,975,000 this year, that’s $126M for three guys, but three really good guys, money well spent. Some of the other high-paid players didn’t do so well.
$22,009,731- Sean Manaea
$20,250,000- Brandon Nimmo
$19,500,000- Starling Marte
$17,000,000- Frankie Montas
$7,500,000- Jesse Winker
These are the guys that Stearns has to answer for; the Marlins had a payroll of $69,510,827 and they went 79-83, only four games behind the Mets.
By way of comparison, Stearns’ old team, the Milwaukee Brewers had the #23 payroll this year, $115,136,217, and they got a first round bye in the playoffs.

Famous birthdays, October 2nd:
Lorraine Bracco, 71
Dave Beard, 66
Mark Rypien, 63
Kelly Ripa, 55
Aaron McKie, 53
Tyson Chandler, 43
Joe Ingels, 38
Lance McCullers Jr, 32

— Brian Snitker won’t be back as manager of the Atlanta Braves next year; he went 835-691 in 10 years managing the Braves, winning the 2021 World Series, but Snitker is going to be 70 in a couple weeks, and the Braves went 76-86 this year, their first losing season since 2017.

— Colorado Rockies went 43-119 this year; they fired GM Bill Schmidt this week, largely because their team really sucks- the last three years, they’ve lost 323 games. Colorado had winning years as recently as 2017-2018, but that seems like a long time ago.

— Red Sox P Garrett Crochet threw 100+ pitches in 16 games this season, the most of any major league pitcher this year.

Movie of the Day: Hustle (2022)- A basketball scout discovers a great ballplayer in Spain, and sees the prospect as his chance to move up from scouting to being an assistant coach.
Adam Sandler is the scout, Queen Latifah is his wife, Robert Duvall has a cameo as the owner of the 76ers, and a lot of NBA players appear in the movie.
If you like basketball, you’ll like this movie. It is really good.

— Cleveland Browns will start rookie QB Dillon Gabriel Sunday when they play the Vikings in London; Browns scored only 14 ppg in their 1-3 start.
Gabriel will become the 41st different quarterback the Browns have started since returning to the NFL in 1999, the most in the league during that time.

— Last 25 years, 2018 Houston Texans are the only team that started a season 0-3 and made the playoffs that year.

— Pitches thrown by the starting pitchers the last couple days:
Tigers- Skubal 107, Mize 62
Guardians- Williams 88, Bibee 87
Red Sox- Crochet 117, Bello 28
Bronx- Fried 102, Rodon 91
Padres- Pivetta 85, Cease 69
Cubs- Boyd 58, Imanaga 67 (opener Kittredge threw 20)
Reds- Greene 65, Littell 52
Dodgers- Snell 91, Yamamoto 113

Seven baseball players who could be free agents this winter:

— Pete Alonso 1B- Has $24M option with the Mets for next year, but can probably make way more than that, even though he is 31. Last five years, he’s hit 195 homers, played in 158 games a year. Durable and productive; Mets will probably re-sign him.

— Luis Arraez 1B/2B- Won three of last four batting titles, slumped to .292 this year. Does not have a lot of power, not real fast, average fielder, but he gets a lot of hits.

— Bo Bichette SS- Hit .311 this year with an .840 OPS. Led the league in hits in 2021/2022; he had an injury-plagued season last year. Had 94 RBI this season.

— Alex Bregman 3B- Can opt out of the last two years of his contract, which would pay $80M; had an .821 OPS this year, his best since 2019. It is assumed that he will opt out.

— Kyle Schwarber OF/DH- Is 33 years old, but he hit 56 homers, had 132 RBI this year, has 187 homers the last four seasons. Philly is an excellent hitters’ park; should he stay there?
