One such project was in the works at Avalanche Studios. According to the reports, the Just Cause developer was making an Iron Man game, but it seems Disney and Marvel ultimately decided to pull the plug on the project. Rumor has it that a fresh attempt at an Iron Man video game is in development at EA, though that has yet to be announced in any official capacity.

The test is reportedly for an economics class, and it allegedly asked students about scenarios such as dealing the drug methamphetamine and starting “an assassination business that specializes in murdering rednecks with minivans.” The Charlotte-based ABC affiliate station WSOC-TV received a note from parents who said they learned about the quiz being used at Kings Mountain High School on Wednesday.

The second set of College Football Playoff rankings of the season brought bad news for both programs, with the Sooners slipping down one spot to No.10 and the Bears falling from No.12 to No.13. While the former was somewhat expected as Oklahoma needed to intercept a two-point conversion attempt to avoid what would have been a huge upset loss against Iowa State, the latter was more perplexing. The Bears improved to 9-0 after defeating TCU in triple overtime on Saturday, but they have failed to make an impression on the CFP committee and are currently the lowest-ranked of the five undefeated programs left in the FBS....

That will play out this weekend among four of them. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State meet in Bedlam in a battle of fringe College Football Playoff contenders. Ohio State meets Michigan in The Game, which is a de facto elmination game with the winner going to the Big Ten championship game. Of course, Alabama-Georgia is on the horizon, and Cincinnati is trying to hold off Notre Dame despite already having a head-to-head victory....

The arguments between fan bases contending for those four spots are already flaring up, and there are some preemptive questions loaded for the selection committee — and they aren’t about the future 12-team playoff. The remaining six unbeaten teams in the FBS — Georgia, Ohio State, Tennessee, Michigan, Clemson and TCU — have the best playoff right now. Unlike the preseason polls, these first rankings matter a little more. A total of 18 of the 32 playoff participants opened in the top four of the initial rankings since 2014....

On Monday, the former Badgers coach told ESPN it would be “very difficult” to leave an undefeated Power 5 conference champion out of the College Football Playoff. Call it a calculated preemptive strike before Wisconsin (9-0) was listed at No. 8 in the second set of College Football Playoff rankings Tuesday. Alvarez is right, of course, but those rankings are doing their best to prove him wrong. They’re not a big deal yet, even if the Badgers should be ranked ahead of No....

On the other end of the spectrum, Wisconsin dropped out of the top 10 after a stunning loss to Illinois. That meeting with Ohio State on Saturday will no longer be a top-10 meeting.
