B/R 5th Down: Baker Mayfield Hits 'Whip and Nae Nae,' Leonard Fournette Jabs UF

Editor's Note: The 5th Down captures the top social college football stories of the week. Because the long, grueling offseason is underway, we'll focus on things that make us laugh, think or maybe cry, but mostly laugh.

REMINDER: Baker Mayfield's Dance Moves are Greater than Yours

We've seen this before. Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield has moves, y'all. And when you have moves like this, you're not afraid to show them off, nor should you be. If everybody could dance like Mayfield can, then they'd be posting it all over Instagram and Facebook and Myspace (do people still use Myspace?) and LinkedIn and Ancestry.com and whatever other social networking media are out there. 

Whether Mayfield starts for the Sooners this year or not, he's easily the team's best dancer—which, if we're being honest, has to count for something. 

Your Bulletin-Board Material of the Week

What's the offseason without a little smack talk, right? That's what LSU running back Leonard Fournette believes, anyway: 

Oct. 17, when LSU and Florida will meet, can't get here soon enough. 

Cooking with Bret Bielema

Brunch is absolutely the best thing ever. In addition to getting the best of two meals, adult beverages like mimosas and Bloody Marys are not only expected before noon, but they're also encouraged. And if there's one coach everyone should want to have brunch with, it's Arkansas' Bret Bielema. 

Bielema's entire coaching philosophy revolves around having 500-pound offensive linemen for days. You're going to sit there and tell me Bielema doesn't know how to cook? What other way is there to a lineman's heart?

So part of Bielema's brunch skills are born out of necessity. At the same time, you have to think it's a passion, too. I mean, I bet Bielema's house is poppin' for Sunday brunch. I don't know this for a fact, of course, but the visual is pretty vivid, and it seems like it would be accurate. 

Mike Bercovici's Girlfriend Has Skill

Yo, check out the lady friend of Arizona State quarterback Mike Bercovici. She has some skill—that's all we're saying. Also, we're saying that the Sun Devils have to replace their best receiver, Jaelen Strong, from a year ago. 

Just saying. 

Meet Les Miles, Referee

So here's LSU coach Les Miles dressed as a referee. Why? Who knows. There's no context provided and we probably won't get any:  

But with Miles, do you ever really need context? So much of what Miles says almost works better without it anyway. There are quotable coaches in college football, like Steve Spurrier or Art Briles, but none of them quite has the, shall we say, linguistic complexity of Miles. 

So it's only natural that we view Miles in a referee uniform without any knowledge as to why. 

Sure, Let's Bring Back the NCAA Football Franchise

There's really only one person who should realistically miss the NCAA Football video game franchise, and that's Bleacher Report's Adam Kramer. If you remember, Kramer used to simulate season games using the video game for awesome in-season #content. 

But those days ended when Electronic Arts decided to discontinue the series in the wake of the Ed O'Bannon class-action lawsuit. There was no other option, really; either end the game and pay damages or pay the players moving forward for an obvious use of their likeness. 

EA opted to do the former, and now NCAA Football enthusiasts all over the world are left to fill their summers doing mundane things like going outside or spending time with their families. Still, that's left plenty of folks, like Grantland's Andrew Sharp, to plead for the game's return. 

Sharp's commentary conjures up college memories of days gone by playing endless hours of NCAA Football with friends, one of which got especially distraught after throwing his fourth, and game-sealing, interception against me. However, there's only one way to bring back the video game franchise, and that's the right way: 

"

But the better long-term solution might be to broker a deal with individual conferences to license their teams and players. With all the money floating around college sports — along with the constant threat of litigation — it's eventually going to make sense for conferences to negotiate and pay royalties to players as a group. Video-game royalties would be a great low-risk place to start. 

"

If NCAA Football is going to make a comeback, pay the players what's rightfully theirs. If not, everyone can stop being selfish for a change and find something else to occupy their time. 

Let's Get Refreshingly Open About Expansion

There is no subject in college football more infuriating than expansion. If for no other reason, the number of Twitter and message-board lawyers increases by about 400 percent during expansion talk. And the last thing this world needs is more lawyers, real or imaginary. 

In any case, expansion chatter would be a lot less painful if every conference commissioner were as open about it as the Sun Belt's Karl Benson. This past week, Benson took to Twitter to clear the air about a pair of potential expansion targets: Coastal Carolina and Eastern Kentucky. 

In the big picture, few people probably care about the Sun Belt's realignment position, but it's a refreshing change to see these things talked about publicly. These aren't top-secret weapons we're talking about here. They're football teams. 

Of course, talking about such things publicly, especially on a much larger level, could show an intent to breach a contract—a contract that could be worth millions and millions of dollars. That's something the realignment lawyers warned me about. 

But, hey, a man can dream. 

Finally, SLEEP TIGHT, Y'ALL 

What in the actual...?

Nope. Nope nope nope.
