GameDay Final: Crimson Tide are in a league of their own
On the first Saturday of November, the College Football Playoff contenders started to separate themselves from everyone else.No. 2 Clemson beat Syracuse by 54 points.No. 3 Michigan throttled Maryland by 56 points.No. 5 Washington routed California by 39 points.No. 6 Ohio State blasted No. 10 Nebraska by 59 points.Perhaps none of those performances were as impressive as No. 1 Alabama's 10-0 victory over No. 13 LSU at Tiger Stadium.Unless you really love defense, Alabama's 21st consecutive victory..>> view originalBozak scores 2 as Maple Leafs hand Canucks 8th straight loss

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — Jake Browning and the Washington Huskies sure made a good case that they may have been snubbed in the initial College Football Playoff rankings even if they say they weren't bothered by it in the least.Browning threw for 378 yards and six touchdowns to set Washington's single-season record for TD passes, and the fourth-ranked Huskies beat California 66-27 on Saturday night.Days after being ranked fifth in the playoff rankings behind one-loss Texas A&M, the Huskies (9-0, 6..>> view originalCollege football: Saturday's winners and losers
Running through the highs and lows from Saturday's college football action: LOSER: Texas A&M. Losing at Mississippi State was bad enough. Potentially going without Trevor Knight for any period of time might be even worse. The Aggies (7-2, 4-2 SEC) saw their national title hopes come to an end with a 35-28 loss. Losing at undefeated Alabama was one thing. Falling against a 4-5 team that's shown little consistency in the post-Dak Prescott era is another. (An aside: This is yet another example of w..>> view originalOhio State makes compelling playoff argument by dominating Nebraska
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Anyone who ever hit the reset button on a Nintendo will understand how No. 6 Ohio State played Saturday night against No. 10 Nebraska. For three games, the Buckeyes looked as if they would play in Tampa, all right: on Jan. 2 in the Outback Bowl, not a week later in the Outfront Bowl -- or the College Football Playoff Championship Game to you.Ohio State struggled to beat Wisconsin in overtime, lost on a blocked kick at Penn State and hung on to beat Northwestern. So the Buckeyes..>> view originalAnemic offense No. 10 Florida's undoing in 31-10 loss to Arkansas
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Given all No. 10 Florida faced Saturday — a chance to pad its lead in the SEC East, a tough road environment, an opponent coming off a bye — coach Jim McElwain expected the trip to Arkansas to define his team. What he learned wasn't pretty or unexpected, when his Gators were finally undone by an anemic offense in a 31-10 loss that dented their championship dreams. "The East is a long way away," McElwain said. It's a lot longer after the Gators (6-2, 4-2 SEC) suffered their f..>> view originalUFC Fight Night 98 video recap: Tony Ferguson beats Rafael dos Anjos in thriller
Tony Ferguson picked up the biggest win of his career on Saturday night. And it was on the biggest stage he’s ever been on, too. He squared off with former lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos at UFC Fight Night 98 in Mexico City, Mexico in his first main event. There didn’t appear to be any added pressure for "El Cucuy" and being in the spotlight didn’t seem to affect his performance, either. He went five rounds for the first time with ease, and with the event taking place at high elevation, ..>> view originalOhio State's domination of Nebraska, Texas A&M's loss and what it means for the College Football Playoff race
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State just beat a top-10 opponent by 59 points in November, so is there a more relevant topic than what that win means for the College Football Playoff? Probably not. No. 6 Ohio State's 62-3 win over No. 10 Nebraska was a statement win, a clear message to the committee that the Buckeyes are now playing their best football when it matters the most. Combine that win with the fact that No. 4 Texas A&M lost to Mississippi State on Saturday, and the Buckeyes could very wel..>> view original
