The Crimson Tide received 54 of 63 first-place votes and will start the season at No. 1 for the fourth time in the last six seasons. Alabama has won a national title in only one of those seven seasons when it started as the Preseason No. 1, and that was in 2017. Ohio State, which received six first-place votes, opened at No. 2. The Buckeyes finished 11-2 in 2021 but are the heavy favorites to win the Big Ten because of a loaded offense under fourth-year coach Ryan Day....

What if I could take off three months and travel the country for an entire season, stopping to admire some of college football’s best teams, stadiums and traditions?

The only game between ranked opponents takes place between No. 3 Ohio State and No. 18 Penn State in University Park. Even this game will be missing its normal fanfare as a “White Out” game, however — Beaver Stadium will be devoid of fans amid the Big Ten’s new COVID-19 policy. Elsewhere, look for unranked Texas to try and upend No. 6 Oklahoma State — and the Big 12’s hopes of reaching the College Football Playoff....
The Crimson Tide slipped to No.5 in the College Football Playoff rankings last week after losing 46-41 to LSU and has now fallen to fifth in both polls, with Georgia moving up to No.4. Alabama’s 38-7 road win over Mississippi State was marred by a season-ending injury to star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who suffered a dislocated hip late in the first half. With two regular season games still on the schedule, Tagovailoa’s injury could deal a potentially decisive blow to Alabama’s bid for a playoff spot....

This is no small matter. It’s nothing short of a betrayal of students. And it’s one that has no legitimate basis in science or public health. It’s hard to overstate the harm caused by sending students home to pantomime their college experience behind a laptop screen.

U.S. officials fear the men have already been moved to a remote location and will be held by the FARC for ransom or as bargaining chips to free its own imprisoned leaders. (Electronic intercepts picked up talk among FARC commanders that they “have safeguarded the package,” sources said.) The men were described as Pentagon contractors assisting the Colombian military on an unspecified “anti-drug” mission. In fact, sources tell NEWSWEEK, the men were on an intelligence mission equipped with special “jungle-busting” radar to identify FARC command “nodes” that are used for both cocaine trafficking and guerrilla operations....
The home side claimed a 2-1 victory in the international friendly on Friday thanks to a couple of goals from Son Heung Min, which rendered Cristian Zapata’s belated strike little more than a consolation.

The mass shooting at the King Soopers supermarket in Boulder, Colorado was the latest in a long line of fatal shootings that have devastated the state since the 1999 Columbine High School shooting. Some of the past incidents have prompted state lawmakers to pass new gun control measures intended to prevent future shootings.

On Wednesday McConnell said there is “no realistic path” for the boost to pass the Senate anytime soon. While Democrats have called for a straight vote on the measure in the Senate, as passed by the House—which they have suggested could succeed—McConnell has looked to attach other points. These measures, moves to repeal Section 230 and for investigating voter fraud, are points supporters of raising the check amount are less likely to support....
