No. 6 Florida hosts No. 8 Georgia in Saturday’s marquee game, the second consecutive week a top-10 SEC matchup highlights the college football slate. (Last week, No. 2 LSU beat No. 9 Auburn, 23-20). The Group of Six offers the other game between both ranked teams, as No. 15 SMU tries to stay undefeated against No. 24 Memphis. Of the top five teams, only No. 4 Clemson is in action — and the Tigers are playing Wofford....

No. 16 Michigan at No. 7 Penn State Opener: Penn State -7.5 Over the last few seasons, the Big Ten champion has come out of the East Division, where three ranked teams currently reside in No. 17 Michigan, No. 7 Penn State and No. 4 Ohio State. The three teams play a round robin that determines the East Division champion that will then play for the Big Ten championship against the West Division representative....

The polls released following each week of action will be absent several usual suspects, not because they’re undeserving, but because they’re not playing. So usual fixtures such as Ohio State, Michigan, Oregon and others — all teams missing out as the Pac-12 and Big Ten postpone their seasons — will not be represented in each new poll of the season. Even SEC teams, which will not begin play until Sept....

Of course, the crowning of LSU as the top team in the country is merely a formality at this point; the Tigers left no doubt after beating seven teams ranked in the final AP Top 25 (all of which were ranked in the top 10 at game time).

To stay alive, these schools are firing personnel, increasing class size, snuffing courses, limiting enrollment and cutting out some majors. But most of all, they’re hiking their tuition and fees. Tom Mortenson, a higher-education policy analyst, calls this “creeping privatization.” If the public can’t or won’t pay enough for state schools (“no new taxes”), then the students must. For lower-income people, that’s easier said than done. The cost crisis is resegregating higher education, not by color but by class....

On Monday, Indianapolis served up another subpar showing in a 20-3 loss, struggling to string together anything against a frantic Chargers defense. Yet, despite three intereceptions and seven sacks, the Colts were still in the game early in the fourth quarter. After Indianapolis’ defense jarred the ball from Justin Herbert’s hands for a turnover, the Colts found themselves in Chargers territory for the first time in a while. They got the ball to Los Angeles’ 12 before Michael Pittman was stopped short of the marker on third down....

Adam Pacitti was able to subtly moon the hosts on the controversial new channel, which was launched by journalist Andrew Neil as an “anti-woke” platform with a mission to battle against “cancel culture.” During a segment in which presenter Dan Wootton and actor Laurence Fox accepted calls from the audience, Pacitti called in to ask a question about comedy and being offended by jokes. Facing the camera, Pacitti then moved to show the background with a mirror behind him where his pants were dropped to cheekily reveal his butt....
