Is there room for some last-minute chaos that would flip the Playoff picture? Four unbeaten teams remain in the mix, and three Power 5 teams have one loss heading into the weekend. Championship Weekend: A reason to watch every game We’re just one week out from Dec. 2, when the final pairings are announced.

Indeed, most teams took care of business against their competition, with all but one winning by multiple scores. The lone exception was top-ranked Alabama, which played arguably its worst game of the season in a 24-20 victory over Texas A&M. The Crimson Tide got three passing touchdowns out of backup quarterback Jalen Milroe, but also two fumbles. He also threw an interception, while running back Jase McClellan added another fumble....
Media days are over, and training camp is here, leading up to the 150th year of college football. With that in mind, it’s time for Sporting News’ preseason top 25. No. 1 is no surprise. Most publications will have either Clemson or Alabama atop their poll knowing they’ve split the last four national championships. Those two teams have played each other in the College Football Playoff each of the last four seasons too, including three in championship games....
In other action, the West Virginia-Texas game featured nine lead changes and more than 1,000 combined total yards, with the Mountaineers edging out a last-minute, 42-41 win over the Longhorns. The win was capped by a gutsy successful 2-point conversion late in the fourth quarter, moving West Virginia up to No. 8 in the Coaches Poll. If the Longhorns’ Playoff chances weren’t squashed after their loss to Oklahoma State, they are now....
The University of Miami Hurricanes will face the University of Florida Gators at the crossroads of the state — Orlando. The Hurricanes and Gators will meet at Camping World Stadium for a primetime matchup that not only has Sunshine State fans giddy, but those from the SEC and ACC clamoring to see which conference gets the upper hand in early-season trash talking. The Miami Hurricanes were the team of the 1980s with national championships in 1983, 1987 and 1989, with more wins in 1991 and 2001....
The Ducks kept their hopes of reaching the College Football Playoff alive with a 37-35 win over Washington State last week, courtesy of a last-minute field goal from Camden Lewis. Oregon improved to 7-1 with a seventh consecutive win and, more importantly, climbed four spots in the Associated Press Top 25 poll to No. 7—its highest ranking this season. The trip to California is crucial for Oregon as it is the last game played before the College Football Playoff Committee releases its first rankings, just three days later....

The 42-year-old was traveling to Spain, via Bogota and Cali, when she was caught with 780 grams of liquid cocaine implants. Police were alerted because she had been acting nervously near airport security. Lieutenant Wilson Silva said cocaine worth around $36,000 had been implanted “between the flesh and the muscle” of the woman’s thighs, Agence France Press reported. Plastic surgery makes detecting the drug harder because body scans cannot identify the contents of an implant, the agency noted....

So does that make it way too early to overanalyze what’s happened during the first four games and hand out some hypothetical, fictional awards? Absolutely not. Let’s do this. Now He’s Really The New Peyton Manning First-Quarter MVP: Andrew Luck His Indianapolis Colts are just 2-2, but they’re rolling now because they just realized they’ve got a better Luck at quarterback. Because of it, they’ll keep on winning and let him prey on the league’s weakest schedule for video-game stats....
Colts linebacker Matthew Adams was ejected from Indianapolis’ Week 12 game against the Titans for punching a Tennessee player during a punt return. It follows a small trend during the 2020 season that’s also featured Bears’ receiver Javon Wims ejected for punching an opponent during a game, while Saints’ receiver Michael Thomas was suspended by New Orleans for a game for reportedly punching a teammate in practice. Here’s the play Sunday that got Adams ejected:...
Defenses still haven’t solved it. Less than a year after helping the Philadelphia Eagles win their first Super Bowl, Reich brought the philosophy to his first head coaching job and is getting similar results. “I did expect we were going to spread it around, that’s just kind of how we roll,” Reich said Monday, a day after beating Oakland. “Now it’s probably exceeded expectations, but the expectations were pretty high to start....
The biggest reason it doesn’t matter is that they’re not going to miss out on great candidates to replace him. The field is wide-open for them, and that doesn’t happen very often. A busy hiring/firing season among coaches — six openings, just a hair under the norm of seven or eight in recent years — has not been matched with GM openings. Last year there were five changes; back in the 2013 offseason, there were seven....
Caesars Sportsbook released their initial odds to win the 2024 National Championship, and it’s not surprising to see the back-to-back champs (+375) atop the odds board. Two other annual contenders, Alabama (+550) and Ohio State (+650), have the next best odds to end the Bulldogs’ reign as top dog. Along with entering the season as the No. 3 ranked team in the preseason AP Poll, Georgia also had the third-lowest odds to win the 2023 National Title behind Alabama and Ohio State....
It’s a debate that can be both fun and tedious. Does it really matter whether Kentucky is better than California when it comes time to figure out if the Pac-12 champion should be in the College Football Playoff? The Southeastern Conference, which has touted itself on being No. 1 for years (and is usually correct), got off to a great start in week one going 13-1 with four victories against other Power Five conference teams....
