A collection of college football photos, stories and links from around the web.

A short Daily Huddle today with the first round of the NFL draft going on.

Yes, that is Georgia football player John Jenkins sucking his thumb while sleeping

We’ll start with a link to a story on why on-campus stadiums would work just fine for a college football playoff. Yes, I know I wrote something on this early today, but well, this is from Jason Kirk, a national writer for SBNation.

Fresno State star wide receiver Jalen Saunders has decided to transfer.

Former Oklahoma Linebacker Kellen Jones is transferring to Clemson.

Our friend Adam Kramer (@KegsnEggs) has made a spring game drinking game for your responsible enjoyment over the next few weekends.

Finally today I leave you with an older story, but one that shows how conference commisoners only look out for their own when making NCAA rules. Mike Slive opposes a rule that would require a team to win their conference championship to play for the national title.

ESPN Fanwiches Contest

Some of you might know that the restaurant my wife and I own received a phone call from ESPN asking us to enter their Fanwiches contest. Since our menu has approximately 120 sandwiches, with most of them named after former Penn State athletes and current Penn State coaches it was incredibly hard to select a sandwich to enter. After a few hours of debate, we decided to enter the Adam Taliaferro sandwich, based not just on the sandwich itself, but also on the Adam’s story.
