The teams are split into two, four-team brackets in a double-elimination format, with the winner of each bracket meeting in the best-of-three championship series. MLB DRAFT: Ten players who could headline next year’s crop of talent When is the 2018 College World Series? The College World Series begins Saturday, June 16, in Omaha and ends with a best-of-three championship series that begins June 25. 2018 College World Series brackets College World Series schedule, TV info All times Eastern; games at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Neb....

Signed by Senators Martin Heinrich (D-NM) and Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) and Representative Teresa Leger Fernández (D-NM), the letter claims that initial reports of the Air Force’s selection process “raise serious questions of political impropriety” and “demonstrate clear violations” of the branch’s standards. The selection process allegedly used a “subjective evaluation scale” to determine Huntsville would win the spot, “circumventing” the Air Force’s Strategic Basing Scale, a standard mechanism used to determine key decisions like the location of a headquarters, according to the letter....

Matthew Clawson, of the Lewis-Palmer School District 38 in El Paso, Colorado, has apologized over what he described as “children’s play” after the image sparked outrage on social media. The photo taken during Clawson’s family vacation in Lake Powell, Utah, shows several young children wearing fake mustaches posing, while two elder males standing at the back, also sporting fake mustaches, raise their arms in a salute similar to the one given by the Nazis....

Underwood most notably played for the Raiders, but not because of what he did on the field, but a video he made off of it. He made a video asking out Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman on a date, to which she agreed. The two dated for about six months before ending the relationship. But getting back to Underwood’s football life, let’s take a look at what he accomplished at the college and professional levels....

Jeff Saturday is likely enjoying his first Victory Monday as head coach after his Colts debut resulted in a 25-20 win over the hapless Raiders, and he has a returning Matt Ryan in part to thank for that. The first major coaching decision for Saturday’s Colts paid off on Sunday: Ryan was renamed starter minutes prior to the start of the matchup, thus ending the short-lived Sam Ehlinger era in Indianapolis....

That will be the question. No. 2 Michigan replaces No. 5 Ohio State in our playoff picks after a 45-23 victory against the Buckeyes. Now, Ohio State must hope for a loss from either No. 3 TCU or No. 4 USC to get into the CFP. No. 1 Georgia is a lock no matter what happens in the SEC championship game against No. 11 LSU. Playoff regulars Ohio State and No....

Top-ranked, 12-0 Georgia entered Saturday’s SEC championship as a 6.5-point favorite over No. 3 Alabama. The Bulldogs boasted the clear No. 1 defense in the country with an offense that was efficient and effective. None of that mattered against Nick Saban, Bryce Young and Alabama, which beat Georgia 41-24 to give the Bulldogs their first loss of the season. TOP-10 LOSSES: Georgia | Oklahoma State That raises the question: What happens to Georgia now?...

How much do these rankings mean? Technically, not much, since nothing is guaranteed until Selection Sunday on Dec. 5, when the four invitations to college football’s eighth playoff tournament will be handed out. But not only does the initial ranking give the college football world a window into how this specific committee is evaluating teams, we can also look at some history to see how the initial ranking can reflect the actual four playoff teams that emerge....

It’s not quite the games many of these teams wanted to take part in. From Caleb Williams and the touchdown-happy Trojans to Pac-12 rival Utah, there are a number of teams taking part in New Year’s Six games that were so very close to earning spots in the College Football Playoff. But it will be a day filled with intrigue, with numerous powerhouses hoping to cap off their seasons in style....

The score was 49-3 at that point. The message? Don’t pencil in No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Ohio State for this year’s College Football Playoff championship yet. Last year’s national champion will have something to say about it. No. 3 Georgia made the loudest Week 1 statement in that blowout against No. 11 Oregon in the Chick-fil-A Kickoff game on Saturday. It wasn’t that Georgia did it – the Bulldogs were a 17....

Jean Witt last saw her students in their classroom at Aspen Creek PK-8 in Bloomfield, Colorado, on March 12, KDVR reported. She was sure she’d see them again soon, but last Friday, she found out schools would be closed for much longer. Witt was upset because she plans to retire at the end of the year and this year’s kindergarten class is the last she will teach at Aspen Creek PK-8, where she has worked since the school opened 20 years ago....

“Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and its contagious nature, the Logan County Sheriff’s Office is asking all criminal activities/nefarious conduct to cease until further notice,” the Logan County Sheriff’s Office wrote on their Facebook page. “We appreciate your anticipated cooperation in halting crime and thank criminals in advance. We will update you when you can return to your normal criminal behavior.” The novel coronavirus, which causes the respiratory disease COVID-19, originated in Wuhan, China but has surged throughout the U....

The Falcons got on the board first but took a big hit when they lost running back Devonta Freeman to a concussion with just over nine minutes remaining in the first quarter. He did not return to the game after further evaluation and was replaced by rookie Tevin Coleman.

This will be the first meeting of the 2020 season between these rival squads, and the winner will spend at least the next 10 days atop the AFC South standings. If the Titans win, they stretch their division lead to two games. If the Colts win, they tie Tennessee in the standings but hold the top seed by virtue of the head-to-head tiebreaker. Of course, these teams meet for their second tilt in Indy two weeks from now, as well, but it’s fun to prop up the midseason drama....

Typically on a targeting call, a player will make a dangerous tackle on the person with the ball by leading with his helmet. If the defender looks like he’s purposely trying to make a dangerous play, or ends up hitting the other player’s head, he’s typically ejected. But FSU’s Jacob Pugh didn’t do what you typically see in a targeting call. Instead of tackling, he simply put his arms up to block a pass attempt, and his hand inadvertently made contact with the N....

This year’s crop of first-year coaches in college football raised the bar beyond all reasonable expectations. Sonny Dykes, Lincoln Riley and Kalen DeBoer are all legit National Coach of the Year candidates after putting together top 15 seasons for teams that were under .500 last year, Brian Kelly catapulted a 6-7 LSU team into SEC championship in his first season, and Mike Elko piled up eight wins at Duke after the Blue Devils had five the previous two seasons....

The 130 FBS teams will compete for the College Football Playoff championship this season, even if there are only a handful can actually earn a Playoff berth. Even fewer teams can win their semifinal matchup in either the Cotton Bowl or Orange Bowl, then win again in the championship game in Santa Clara, Calif. How many, you ask? We’re going to say eight, which is fewer than the 10 teams we had on the list last season....

Recruiters up and down the country have been hard at work trying to convince the highest rated high school athletes to attend their institutions. The biggest football colleges, and the highest rated teams have already recruited over 20 players each. Texas A&M, Alabama, Georgia and Ohio State have all already bagged multiple five-star rated players each. Though player students have committed their futures to colleges already, today is just the beginning for the recruitment drive and a lot can happen between now and the official date for National Signing Day on February 2, 2022....
