Oklahoma is just one win away from the College World Series final after beating Notre Dame 6-2 on Sunday. Meanwhile, Texas was eliminated following a 10-2 loss to rival Texas A-and-M. Today in Omaha, Auburn faces Stanford in an elimination game at 1 pm, followed by Ole Miss versus Arkansas tonight at 7 pm.

The Manning Passing Academy announced its lineup of counselors for the 26th edition of the camp for junior high and high school passers. This year’s crop is the biggest in camp history with 45 college signal-callers invited to Nicholls State University in Thibodaux. Included among them are seven projected first-round picks, like Alabama’s Bryce Young and Florida’s Anthony Richardson, as well as LSU’s Myles Brennan, Tulane’s Michael Pratt, and Kohen Granier from Nicholls. The only part of the academy open to the public is the college skills competition on Friday night at John L. Guidry Stadium. Admission is $15 per person. The camp is run, of course, by the first family of Louisiana football. Once again, Archie, Cooper, Peyton, and Eli Manning will all be on hand, with top prospect Arch Manning in attendance.
