1. Since BYU became an independent for the 2011 season, the questions hanging over the Cougars have been whether athletic director Tom Holmoe would be a) able and b) willing to schedule games worthy of a national independent. Good news: home-and-homes with Virginia (announced Monday), Notre Dame, Texas, and Wisconsin, and a long-term deal with Boise State. Bad news: the Holy War against Utah, played annually since 1946, won’t be played in 2014-15.

Arizona State’s defensive line, already bolstered by the return of Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year Will Sutton, got some more good news Friday with the commitment of Dodge City (Kan.)

Hardison, 6-foot-4, 275 pounds, chose the Sun Devils over Kansas State, West Virginia, Washington, South Florida and Auburn, but he also had offers from programs such as Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Arkansas, Oklahoma State and TCU.

There are a few cowbells cropping up around Northwestern’s football complex in recent weeks, but no monkeys. The stuffed monkey Northwestern players carried around during last year’s bowl preparation — signifying 63 years of postseason futility — was good for some laughs, some newsprint and some airtime during ESPN’s broadcast of the Meineke Care Care Bowl of Texas. But it didn’t bring any luck in the game, as Northwestern fell to Texas A&M, suffering its ninth consecutive bowl defeat.

Texas defensive coordinator Manny Diaz is staying put, pulling out of consideration to become Florida International’s new head coach. From our news story: A source close to Diaz said he decided to stay at Texas because he’s excited about the program’s future. The source went on to say Diaz wants to get the defense back where it was as one of the nation’s best. Good move from Diaz. He has the personnel to get this defense back to where it once was, and his predecessor left to become the head coach at Florida.

This will not come as news to those of you who followed the bowl selection machinations leading up the postseason announcements of Dec. 2. But another report has some more details on how the Capital One Bowl originally wanted to pit Northwestern against Texas A&M and Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel, until both the SEC and Big Ten intervened. Mike Bianchi writes in the Orlando Sentinel that two members of the Capital One search committee confirmed that the Wildcats-Aggies matchup is the one they wanted.
