The four-team format has been heavy on uncontested games in the semifinals but has featured much tighter games in the championship. Even though uncertainty is aplenty at the start of each year, there has not been a ton of parity in the Playoff. Alabama has made it to four of five Playoffs thus far, winning it all twice. Clemson has made it each of the past five years, Oklahoma has been in four times and Ohio State has qualified thrice....

Due to issues of COVID-19 pandemic in the state of California, the Rose Bowl matchup between No. 1 Alabama and No. 4 Notre Dame has been moved to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas; it is only the second Rose Bowl Game in history to take place outside of Pasadena, Calif....

Conference championship weekend is here, and the committee is likely praying for chalk to hold up to make its job as easy as possible. Should that be the case, then only one decision needs to be made, for the fourth overall spot — i.e., the last team in — of the final rankings.

Though there were a litany of upsets with Tennessee being taken down by Georgia State, Nevada kicking off Purdue, Memphis shutting down Ole Miss and Wyoming outscoring Mizzou — sorry, SEC, it was not a great week for the non-powerhouses — most of the rest of weekend slate just about went chalk. The only ranked team that lost was No. 11 Oregon, which fell in a Saturday night thriller to No....

No. 7 Penn State travels to No. 24 Michigan State, No. 4 Clemson faces No. 20 N.C. State and No. 21 Stanford is on the road at No. 25 Washington State.

Here are five storylines to watch for this weekend: ACC Heisman throwdown — Who will perform better, No. 5 Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson or No. 3 Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson? In less than a month, Jackson went from a virtual unknown to Heisman hopeful, while Watson’s front-runner status has tumbled a bit. He struggled mightily against Troy and has thrown at least one interception in three games this season. If Jackson racks up five-plus touchdowns in this game, he could be the one to beat in the Heisman race....
Trust in capitalism has especially diminished among young people, to the point where capitalism and socialism are equally popular. While the reasons for such skepticism are varied, Harvard Economist Edward Glaeser has hypothesized that the young are reacting negatively to policies that favor entrenched interests (crony capitalism) and that they favor “hyper-redistribution” rather than true socialism. Others have argued that students are being influenced by left-wing professors who dominate American college campuses....
After settling Wojcik’s lawsuit, the school has reportedly agreed to pay out $400,000, the equivalent of a year’s worth of the former coach’s salary. The school will assume $150,000 of the settlement with the rest coming from the state’s Insurance Reserve Fund. As part of the agreement, Wojcik agreed not to sue the College of Charleston. Wojcik, who was the subject of two investigations during his two seasons as head coach, was fired for cause amid allegations that he verbally and physically abused his players, though the school failed to find evidence to substantiate the claims from more than a dozen of his current and former student-athletes....
Lee Cohen, a resident of Highlands Ranch, told Denver7 News: “My mom passed away two years ago and I received the stimulus check for her.” Cohen received the check in an envelope that listed him as his mother’s representative. “I couldn’t believe they sent it since my mom was deceased. I even filed a final tax return for her, so they have the data,” he said. He reportedly filed his mother’s final tax return with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) earlier this year before the stimulus checks were sent out....
Four Republican candidates are battling for their party’s nomination in the newly created 8th congressional district in what many believe will be one of the most competitive general election races in the country. The 8th district’s population is 39 percent Hispanic—the largest Hispanic population of any Colorado district—and will prove a key test of Democratic support among that key voting demographic. The district also contains a plurality of unaffiliated voters with 44 percent of active registered voters neither Democrats nor Republicans, while 28 percent are registered Democrats and 25 percent are Republicans....

However, Hernandez beat the odds and was released back home yesterday under the care of her two daughters during her recovery from COVID-19, the disease caused by the new strain of coronavirus. One daughter, Pam Romero, explained to KDVR how tough the experience had been for the family, saying “it’s been an up-and-down ride....
So the coaching search that was almost universally expected after the 2015 and 2016 seasons can officially begin. It will begin with the uncertainty over Andrew Luck’s health, after the franchise quarterback missed the entire season. Colts owner Jim Irsay and general manager Chris Ballard (who inherited Pagano before this season, his first), will likely include these names for consideration. Nick Saban, head coach, Alabama Irsay certainly is the type to roll the dice and take a shot at the gem of the college coaching candidate pool....
With an endless supply of receiving weapons, Andrew Luck could far outperform his draft slot and join the elite fantasy QBs. To that point, any of his receivers could also go big. And Coby Fleener could become a beast working with the tight end whisperer, Rob Chudzinski (but so could Dwayne Allen). Then there was a sign from the heavens – or more like central Indiana – with this tidbit from ESPN Colts reporter Mike Wells: I was picturing Pagano staring directly at Trent Richardson as he was saying that (and Richardson looking around with a puzzled look on his face before pointing to himself)....
Despite rushing only twice for minus-4 yards, Hines had two touchdown receptions of 22 and 29 yards, respectively, in the first half, helping Indianapolis to a 20-6 halftime lead. As impressive as those plays were, his acrobatic displays after the fact might have been even more incredible.

In June 2016, Trump traveled to Scotland to visit his resort and golf course shortly after Britain had decided to leave the European Union. “Basically they took back their country,” the then-Republican presidential candidate said. Godley was among a group of protesters who welcomed the Republican candidate with profane and offensive signs. In a recent article published in The Times of London, the 60-year-old comedian claimed that she was banned from entering the U....
