This time, No. 10 Oregon took advantage with a 45-30 victory against No. 9 UCLA at Autzen Stadium on Saturday. Bo Nix continued to surprise with a 22 of 28 passing performance that included 283 yards, five TDs and no interceptions. The Bruins fell from the undefeated ranks, and now the Pac-12’s best chance to get back to the College Football Playoff for the first time since 2016 hinges on one potential matchup....

Those viral upsets hid a real trend in college football: When it comes to teams ranked in the AP Top 25, the gap between the Power 5 and Group of 5 shows. That’s in the numbers. In Week 1, Power 5 schools ranked among the top 25 were a perfect 11-0 against either Group of 5 or FCS schools. There wasn’t an upset, but there also weren’t many close games....

Are you supporting the black threads and matte helmet of the Oklahoma State Cowboys or do you prefer the gold chrome helmet of the Baylor Bears with their dark uniform? Voting is open until noon ET on Monday, Aug. 11. If you’re new to the uniform bracket, head over to our introductory post to get the explanation of how the whole thing was set from the beginning. The following teams have now been sent to the big equipment room in the sky: Georgia, Alabama, Southern Cal, Ohio State, Louisville, Miami (FL), Boise State, Arizona State, Ohio, Miami (OH), Northwestern, North Carolina, Virginia Tech, TCU, UConn, Arizona, Indiana, Memphis, Maryland, UCLA, Florida State, Texas, Penn State, Oregon, Notre Dame, Missouri, Tennessee, Nebraska and Michigan....

Auburn lost on a last-second, 42-yard field goal to LSU. Wisconsin fell after missing a 42-yard field goal against BYU. That shakes up the College Football Playoff race a little more. We’ll start with those two. MORE: College football’s ‘Power 5 within the Power 5’ There were several more overreactions worth looking at after Week 3. Here’s what we’re buying — and selling: LSU wants Bama! BUY. Respect the resume....

There are four bowl games scheduled for Jan. 1, including both College Football Playoff Semi-Final games, with No. 1 Alabama facing No. 4 Notre Dame at 4 p.m. and No. 2 Clemson facing No. 3 Ohio State at 8 p.m. to cap off the evening. Fans will also get to see undefeated No. 8 Cincinnati go up against No. 9 Georgia in the Peach Bowl at noon, along with No....

No. 2 Alabama will host No. 3 Georgia at 8 p.m. on CBS this Saturday — the teams’ first regular-season meeting since 2015. The SEC’s final two undefeated teams will face off in a contrast of styles as the Crimson Tide relies on its prolific offense to overcome Georgia’s suffocating defense. While that’s the only meeting of top-25 teams on Saturday, there are other intriguing matchups, including Louisville at No....

In a largely disappointing Rivalry Week, No. 9 Stanford notched arguably the biggest win with a 38-36 upset over No. 6 Notre Dame on a 45-yard field goal as time expired. The Cardinal win sets up a Pac-12 Championship Game against an inconsistent USC team next weekend. The Trojans certainly have the talent to push David Shaw, Kevin Hogan and the rest of the Stanford team, and maybe enough of a nothing-to-lose mentality to put the final nail in Stanford’s College Football Playoff hopes....

The playoff rankings are crowded at the top, and some outsiders have a shot to get in with some upsets in this weekend’s games. Washington and Clemson are in with a win, but a loss could cause some chaos. Both the Tigers (vs. No. 23 Virginia Tech) and Washington (vs. No. 8 Colorado) have tough tests, and the winner of the Big Ten title game (No. 6 Wisconsin vs. No....

We moved Ohio State into the College Football Playoff championship game against Alabama, which would be an incredible rematch from the 2015 Sugar Bowl. It’s not a bad pick, considering their respective point differentials through seven games. Ohio State (plus-292) and Alabama (plus-225) have the best marks in that statistic among the eight remaining unbeatens in the Power 5. Of course, Tua Tagovailoa’s health will be a major factor over the next few weeks....

In the text overlay on the video user @Leahckaplan wrote “when you get covid at tulane so they get you a luxury hotel suite and a prepaid visa for doordash.” Students and faculty at Tulane University recently received a letter from the school alerting undergraduate students that they would be allowed to work remotely for the remainder of the semester due to a rise in COVID cases on campus, WDSU reported Monday....

These new findings match up with previous research that shows people who have eating disorders are likely to have other mental disorders, such as substance abuse. But learning more about the connection between vaping and eating disorders could help clinicians better screen young people and improve targeting for early intervention. Plus, this link could possibly become more prevalent as the pandemic exacerbates both nicotine consumption and disordered eating. The September study was published in the journal Eating Behaviors....

Education at Work (EAW), a nonprofit organization, aims to bridge the gap between higher education institutions and companies. By serving as a liaison of sorts between the two entities, EAW helps businesses fill employment needs and gives students an opportunity to work at resume-building positions while receiving tuition assistance. For some higher education institutions, the past 30 years have resulted in a double or triple increase in costs for students....

If one could point to a single event that pulled the plug on offense, it would be the nine home-run 1998 national championship game that ended with Gillespie's Southern California team beating Arizona State 21-14. The belief was that the juiced bats of the 1990s had compromised the integrity of college baseball and posed safety concerns. Over the next decade, steps were taken to reduce the power potential of the metal bats, and the specifications implemented in 2011 were emasculating....

Vanderbilt ran away in Game 1 of the College World Series finals on Monday to ultimately win the game 8-2. The Bulldogs countered on Tuesday with a blowout win of their own, jumping ahead in a four-run third inning and never taking their foot off the pedal to blow out the defending champion Commodores 13-2 to force a decisive Game 3 on Wednesday. Vanderbilt pitching certainly did themselves no favors....

“He had a white tiger that was our daughter’s and he claimed it as his own,” Andersen told The Dodo. “He destroyed it, of course, but my daughter had this orange tiger, and he kept stealing it — so it’s his now.” She continued: “He brings it everywhere! He always picks it up when he gets excited and wiggles his little butt,” Andersen said. “It’s his bestie.” According to the American Kennel Club, Goldens are, “likely to carry something around everywhere they go, such as sticks, toys, clothing, or whatever else isn’t tied down....

Richardson struggled with the Indianapolis Colts this season and his role has continually decreased. In the Colts’ first postseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals, he was active but didn’t get any touches. In the team’s second game against the Denver Broncos, he was not on the active roster. Earlier this week he said the benching was ’never going to happen again.' He was wrong. According to Kevin Bowen of the Colts’ website, the running back didn’t travel with the team to New England because of “personal reasons....

At 9-7, the Colts are the current No. 6 seed, behind the 10-5 Patriots and ahead of the 9-7 Chargers.
