College Football Review
—Going back to the latest CFP rankings from last Tuesday night, the first five match the AP Poll…. 1. Ohio State 2. Indiana 3. Texas A&M 4. Alabama 5. Georgia.
I use the CFP rankings…so let’s move on to Saturday’s action….
[As always, comments are written prior to release of latest AP Poll.]
No. 1 Ohio State (10-0) whipped UCLA (3-7) 48-10.
2 Indiana (10-0), after a slow start, beat Wisconsin (3-7) 31-7, as Fernando Mendoza was a cool 22/24, 299, 4-0 for the Hoosiers, further cementing his top-two Heisman candidacy.
And then there was 3 Texas A&M and South Carolina. The Gamecocks got off to a stunning 30-3 halftime lead in what was destined to be the upset of the year.
Only the Aggies roared back for the biggest comeback in school history, prevailing 31-30 in a super exciting finish.
South Carolina (3-7) had scored its 30 points on two LaNorris Sellers touchdown passes, three field goals and a fumble recovery for a TD. Sellers, a preseason Heisman candidate had had a miserable season but showed why he has some NFL scouts salivating with his first half play.
But then he had an awful final two quarters, countless instances of poor judgement, and finished 15/30, 246, 2-1.
A&M QB Marcel Reed, on the other hand, was awful in the first half and electrifying in the second, finishing 22/39, 439, 3-2, though he made an incredibly stupid decision late in the game on a 3rd and goal that led to a South Carolina fumble recovery, only the Gamecocks couldn’t capitalize.
The Aggies stay undefeated, 10-0, and will maintain their 3rd slot in the CFP ranking.
Meanwhile, 4 Alabama (8-2) suffered a big loss at home to 11 Oklahoma (8-2), 23-21, as the Tide turned it over three times, including a pick-six for the Sooners. Bama fans can’t be happy as they outgained Oklahoma 406-212.
5 Georgia (9-1) will fill Alabama’s slot, 35-10 over 10 Texas (7-3), Gunner Stockton with four touchdown passes and a fifth TD on the ground, while Arch Manning laid an egg, 27/43, 251, 1-1.
6 Texas Tech (10-1) blasted UCF (4-6) 48-9.
7 Ole Miss (10-1) continued on its playoff path, 34-24 over Florida (3-7) as Kewan Lacy rushed for 224 yards and three touchdowns on 31 carries for the Rebels.
Friday night, 8 Oregon (9-1) had an impressive 42-13 win over Minnesota (6-4), Dante Moore with a rather efficient effort at quarterback, 27/30, 306, 2-0; the Ducks outgaining the Golden Gophers 510-200.
9 Notre Dame (8-2) is also officially playoff bound (says moi), passing their last stern test and making it look easy, a 37-15 win at Pitt (7-3), Jeremiyah Love with 147 yards rushing and a TD. I was looking forward to this one, but it was over early.
12 BYU (9-1) recovered nicely from its loss a week earlier to Texas Tech, easily handling TCU (6-4) 44-13.
13 Utah (8-2) beat Baylor (5-5) 55-28.
15 Miami (8-2) stayed relevant, 41-7 over North Carolina State (5-5) as Carson Beck played well, 21/27, 291, 3-0.
16 Georgia Tech (9-1) needed a late field goal to hold off Boston College (1-10) 36-34. The Yellow Jackets’ Haynes King had another big day at quarterback, 26/34, 371, 1-0, but this is not what GT needed in terms of the eyes of the CFP folks.
17 USC (8-2) stayed in the playoff hunt, 26-21 over 21 Iowa (6-4).
18 Michigan (8-2) turned it over five times but beat Northwestern (5-5) 24-22 on a 45-yard field goal as time expired. The Wolverines outgained the Wildcats 496-245.
19 Virginia (9-2) beat Duke (5-5) 34-17.
20 Louisville’s (7-3) hopes for an ACC championship went up in smoke at home Friday night, 20-19 losers to Clemson (5-5), as the Cardinals missed an extra point, early, and then two different kickers missed makeable field goals in the fourth quarter.
24 South Florida (7-3) lost a big American Conference matchup to Navy (8-2), 41-38, as backup QB Braxton Woodson had a late 64-yard touchdown run for the Midshipmen in a wild game, USF outgaining Navy 556-524.
So Navy is now in the driver’s seat for both the American Conference title, as well as a Group of Five bid.
East Carolina (7-3) had a big 31-27 win over Memphis (8-3) in another key American Conference matchup.
And then there was North Carolina at Wake Forest in Winston-Salem, a big one for both, as prior to the game, Chappel Bill, Bill Belichick, shot down any notion that he is interested in working for the Giants after Big Blue fired head coach Brian Daboll. Belichick said he was committed to building the program at Carolina.
Well, he might have second thoughts after the “shockingly decent” Deacons beat the Tar Heels (4-6) 28-12, Wake outgaining Carolina 414-257.
The Deacs under first-year coach Jake Dickert are 7-3, 5 of 6, as our defense, out of nowhere, has been outstanding.

*Yes, I’ve been ignoring James Madison’s claims for the Group of Five bid, but it’s up to the CFP, which didn’t rank them this week. What will they do Tuesday?
Next week…USC at Oregon, huge for an at-large CFP bid, though both still have a slim shot at sneaking into the Big Ten championship game. This is also the Battle of the Cheerleaders, though I wish it was at USC, if you catch my drift. It’s chilly this time of year in Eugene, Oregon. Cough cough…cough….
—John Beam, the former Laney College football coach featured in the Netflix docuseries “Last Chance U,” was shot and killed on the school’s campus Friday. A 27-year-old suspect was taken into custody in connection to the shooting, with police claiming it was a targeted incident.
I did not watch the series, but Beam had become a legend in Oakland and the Bay Area for his efforts in coaching and mentoring the community’s youth.
NFL
—Thursday night, the Jets fell to 2-8 with a 27-14 loss to the shocking Patriots (9-2) in Foxborough.
New York is unwatchable, getting outgained 336-245, as New England rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson scored three touchdowns, giving him five in the last two games.
Jets coach Aaron Glenn said after: “We’ve got to be better…across the board.”
Yup. And we have to draft a franchise quarterback, either next spring, or the following year with our collection of first-round draft picks.
—Sunday, the Giants hosted the Packers with quarterback Jaxson Dart in concussion protocol and unavailable. So interim coach Mike Kafka, in Game One of his big audition, made a change on the QB depth chart beforehand, elevating Jameis Winston over Russell Wilson…a good move.
And Winston didn’t fail to entertain, 19/29, 201, 0-1, 71.2, though the PR isn’t really a fair description of his play. There were countless drops (on both sides) and late in the game a receiver who didn’t complete the route resulting in Jameis’ lone interception, the Packers (6-3-1) with a 27-20 win, New York 2-9.
The wind was a huge factor…three missed extra points, field goals not attempted.
–The Bills (7-3) rebounded after their drubbing against the Dolphins to beat the Bucs (6-4) 44-32, Josh Allen all over the place, 19/30, 317, 3-2, 104.4; Baker Mayfield subpar, 16/28, 173, 1-1, 72.5.
–The Bears (7-3) defeated the Vikings (4-6) 19-17 on a Cairo Santos 48-yard field as time expired.
–Steve G.’s Jaguars (6-4) whipped the Chargers (7-4) 35-6…rather shocking, as Jacksonville outgained L.A. 345-135! Eegads.
[Steve G. will also avidly be watching USC-Oregon…cough cough…both of us old and still remembering Edy Williams….cough cough….]
—Aaron Rodgers left the game with a left hand injury, but the Steelers (6-4), behind an efficient backup effort by Mason Rudolph, beat the Bengals (3-7) 34-12, Joe Flacco needing 40 pass attempts to gain 199 yards through the air, as well as tossing a pick-six.
–The Dolphins (4-7) beat the Commanders (3-8) in Madrid, 16-13 in overtime, which I otherwise wouldn’t mention but it is kind of funny that Miami has won three of four. Are they saving Mike McDaniel’s job, out of nowhere?
–Jacksonville rookie and two-way player Travis Hunter underwent surgery to repair an LCL injury in his right knee and will miss the rest of the season, the team announced Tuesday. He is expected to resume “full football activities” within six months.
The Jags took Hunter second overall in the 2025 NFL draft and he has been working to become the NFL’s first full-time two-way player in roughly 60 years.
In the seven games he appeared in, Hunter recorded 28 catches for 298 yards and one touchdown. As a cornerback, he recorded 15 tackles and a fumble recovery.
—The Heidi Game…57 years ago….
[The last time I wrote of this was well over a decade ago.]
For those of us of a certain age who vividly remember this game, me watching on the living room floor on our portable black and white TV, we take you back to Nov. 17, 1968, one of the worst days for the NBC network.
It was a great time to be a fan of the AFL. The games were fun to watch and full of legendary characters. As the November 17 battle between the Oakland Raiders and New York Jets drew near, both teams were at 7-2 and seemed on a collision course for the AFL championship and the right to represent the league at Super Bowl III.
The game was living up to its billing when with 65 seconds to go in the fourth quarter, the Jets’ Jim Turner kicked a 26-yard field goal to put the Jets up 32-29.
The game was being televised on NBC and had started at 4:07 p.m. Eastern Time. As 7:00 p.m. drew near, executives at the network were preparing to make television history…and they didn’t know it.
After the kickoff from the Jets, the Raiders had 60 seconds on the clock to try and at least tie the game. They took the ball on their own 22-yard line and quarterback Daryl Lamonica threw a 20-yard pass to Charlie Smith. But a 15-yard facemask penalty moved the ball down to about the Jets’ 43 when suddenly the millions of viewers watching across the land, including yours truly, were treated to 60 seconds of commercials and a musical billboard leading into the movie “Heidi.”
The switchboard lit up at NBC’s New York City headquarters, as well as stations across the land. I remember how ticked off I was…even though I wanted to watch the movie as well, I have to admit, our family having traveled to Switzerland that previous summer.
Actually, at 6:53 p.m. ET, network officials had decided to stick with the game but NBC later said it was confusion in their communications system that caused the cutoff.
And so what we all missed in the Eastern time zone was seeing a 43-yard touchdown pass from Lamonica to Smith that put Oakland ahead, 36-32, with 42 seconds to play. Then on the ensuing kickoff, the Jets’ Earl Christy fumbled and the Raiders recovered in the end zone with 33 seconds left for the final score, Raiders 43 – Jets 32.
The calls into the network were so crushing that the board shut down. It wasn’t until 22 minutes into “Heidi” that NBC ran a crawl on the bottom of the screen giving the final score. [This was long before ESPN or the internet, folks. If you couldn’t quickly switch on the Raiders’ or Jets’ radio networks, you were totally in the dark.]
The viewer outrage lasted well over 24 hours. NBC president Julius Goodman issued a statement from his home around 8:30 p.m. telling the world that he, too, was a bit miffed he hadn’t seen the conclusion of the game either, but that “it was a forgivable error committed by humans who were concerned about children expecting to see Heidi.”
As for the Jets and Raiders, the Jets recovered to win their last four games, finishing 11-3, while the Raiders went on to close with a 12-2 record. The Raiders then had a playoff with the 12-2 Kansas City Chiefs for the right to meet the Jets for the AFL Championship.
The Raiders whipped the Chiefs 41-6 and then the Jets defeated the Raiders in the grudge match, 27-23. For Joe Namath and Company, it was on to the Super Bowl and destiny.
One postscript: Seven years later, the Raiders and Washington Redskins were tied at 23-23 at the end of regulation with “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” scheduled to begin when the game ended. NBC wisely stuck with the game for 45 minutes before George Blanda’s field goal gave the Raiders a 26-23 victory. In the Eastern time zone, viewers missed the movie’s first 45 minutes.

College Basketball
–Going back to last Tuesday, Wake Forest had a big early season test against 6 Michigan in Detroit and almost passed, falling 85-84 in overtime. ‘Almost’ doesn’t cut it with the Deacs. This time, Mekhi Mason, one of our key transfers from Washington (and Rice), missed his last four free throws. For Michigan, their 7’3” transfer from UCLA, Aday Mara, had 18 points, 13 rebounds, six assists and five blocks.
Year after year, Wake coach Steve Forbes has a team on the NCAA bubble, finishing .500 or better in the ACC the last four seasons, 2021-22 (25-10, 13-7), but they can’t get over the hump in the big non-conference tests they’ve faced. Next Thursday it’s Texas Tech in a game in the Bahamas, and then either Purdue or Memphis the following day. They must win at least one of these.
I think the Deacs have some intriguing pieces, a good mix of veterans and transfers. But it starts with one big ‘W’.
[This afternoon, the Deacs were leading lowly UMass Lowell only 40-38 in the first half before going on a huge roll and winning it 109-75.]
—Friday night, 5 Arizona had a good 69-65 win over 15 UCLA.
—Saturday, it was all about 3 UConn and 7 BYU in Boston, and the Huskies prevailed 86-84, despite super frosh AJ Dybantsa’s 25 points for the Cougars.
NBA
—Friday night at the Garden, the Knicks, playing without Jalen Brunson (day-to-day with a sprained ankle) beat the Heat (7-6) 140-132, New York now 8-4.
Josh Hart, 12 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists with his 16th career triple-double with the Knicks, and this off the bench.
Landry Shamet (36 points) and Jordan Clarkson (24) made up for the loss of Brunson, both also off the bench.
But the Knicks lost key forward OG Anunoby to a hamstring injury early in the contest, and I just saw he’s out at least two weeks. Not good…we have zero depth at forward.
–No more “Fire Nico” at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, as Mavericks GM Nico Harrison was canned the other day.
Harrison never recovered after trading super fan favorite and star, Luka Doncic, to the Lakers. The centerpiece return in the trade, Anthony Davis, has played just five games, because he is injury-prone.
But Dallas has Cooper Flagg, who despite a slow start, no doubt because he’s been playing out of position, will be a stud in the league for the next 10+ years, someone to build around.
–LA Clippers shooting guard Bradley Beal was diagnosed with a left hip fracture and will undergo season-ending surgery. It’s another blow to a Clippers team that is off to a 4-8 start.
But Beal, who had missed 132 games over his previous four NBA season, played only 121 minutes over six games with the Clippers and was a shell of his former self.
—The Pelicans fired head coach Willie Green Saturday, the team announced, after a 2-10 start to the season that has featured three losses by 30 points or more. Associate head coach James Borrego will serve as interim head coach for the rest of the season.
Green, 44, was in his fifth season as head coach in New Orleans, a stint that included two trips to the playoffs and the franchise’s first season with 49 or more wins since 2008-09.
But the Pelicans finished 21-61 last season.
–I forgot to mention a November 6 Quinnipiac University poll that found that one-third of Americans, 33 percent, think NBA coaches and players are either very often (12 percent) or somewhat often (21 percent) involved in illegal activities to influence betting on NBA games.
Sixty-six percent think NBA players and coaches are either occasionally (43 percent) or rarely if ever (23 percent) involved in illegal activities to influence betting on NBA games.
The survey was of adults nationwide. Among NBA fans, the results are similar.
“Perception is important, and right now the NBA clearly has a perception problem. It might, too, have a trust problem,” said Nick Pietruszkiewicz, Assistant Professor of Journalism and Program Director of Sports Communications, Quinnipiac University.
Needless to say, the league should be very troubled by this finding. They don’t need any more scandals.
The Athletic is reporting that the NBA, under scrutiny from Congress, is seeking new information based on the recent federal charges brought by the Department of Justice concerning Terry Rozier, Chauncey Billups and Damon Jones et al.
–Finally, we note the passing of Michael Ray Richardson, a four-time NBA All-Star whose drug use undermined his career. He was 70 and had been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Nicknamed “Sugar,” Richardson starred at the University of Montana before the Knicks selected the 6-foot-5 guard with the fourth pick of the 1978 draft. He earned three of his four All-Star selections with the team, establishing himself as one of the league’s most dynamic, and eccentric, players.
Richardson, who also played for the Nets, and the Warriors, briefly, was a spectacular defender, making the NBA All-Defense first team twice. In his second season, 1979-80 with the Knicks, he led the league in assists. And the dude could sky.
“We are saddened to hear about the passing of former Knick Michael Ray Richardson,” the Knicks said in a statement. “One of the fiercest defensive players of his era, the four-time NBA all-star made an incredible impact on the Knicks during his four seasons with the franchise. Our deepest condolences go to his family, friends and teammates.
Over his 8-year career, Richardson averaged 14.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 7.0 assists. And speaking of Josh Hart and triple-doubles, Richardson is second in Knick history with 18 (Walt Frazier first with 23).
Of course Michael Ray is also famous for some of what he said off the court, including this all-time sports quote during an interview. Richardson was asked about the state of his team during an unsuccessful season.
“What do you think is happening to the team?”
“The ship be sinking,’ Michael Ray replied.
“How far can it sink?”
“Sky’s the limit.”
Alas, Richardson had his demons and he became the first player banned for life for violating the NBA’s drug policy.
MLB
—Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge won their respective league MVP awards.
Judge was named AL MVP for the third time in four years, locking up his future entrance into Cooperstown, though he won it narrowly over Seattle’s Cal Raleigh, 17 to 13 in first-place votes, 355 to 335 in the closest race in years. Jose Ramirez was a distant third in the vote tally.
And in the NL, Shohei Ohtani became the first player in MLB, NBA, NHL and NFL history to win both an MVP and a championship in each of his first two seasons with a team, winning unanimously, getting all 30 first-place votes, with Kyle Schwarber second, Juan Soto third.
Ohtani is now a 4-time MVP, having won it three times in a row.
Last year, Ohtani joined Frank Robinson as the only player to win an MVP in both leagues. This year, he became the first player to win the award in both leagues twice. And back in 2022, he was fourth in the Cy Young Award balloting.
—Tarik Skubal of the Tigers became the first American League pitcher to win consecutive Cy Young Awards since Pedro Martinez in 2000, Skubal receiving 26 of 30 first-place votes, with four going to Boston’s Garrett Crochet.
And Pittsburgh’s Paul Skenes added a Cy Young plaque to his Rookie of the Year honors a year ago, when he finished third in Cy Young voting, Skenes claiming all 30 first-place votes in the NL.
Skenes, despite rumors to the contrary, said he is committed to winning in Pittsburgh.
—Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy and Cleveland Guardians’ manager Stephen Voght have both now gone back-to-back in winning Manager of the Year Awards.
Golf Balls
–In the next to last event of the Fall Season, the Butterfield Bermuda Championship at Port Royal Golf Course…
The Butterfield is being played for the seventh time with the last three winners in the field…Seamus Power (2022), Camilo Villegas (2023), and Rafael Campos (2024).
And in absolutely brutal conditions, as windy as any tournament all year, Adam Schenk picked up his first win on the PGA Tour in his 243rd event by one over Chandler Phillips.
I’m tellin’ ya, I’ve played Port Royal at least six times and when it’s windy, it can be brutal, especially the final few holes.
But with just one tournament now left in the Fall Season, this was critical for some of the golfers looking to finish the year in the Top 100 and secure their Tour cards for 2026.
Phillips, for example, moved from 139 to 92 with his solo second.
Max McGreevy from 100 to 89; and Takumi Kenaya, who bogeyed 18, still went from 120 to 99.
It will be a tension convention next week at the RSM Classic in Georgia next weekend.
—Rory McIlroy lost in a playoff at the European tour’s finale to Matt Fitzpatrick, the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai, but he won his fourth straight Race to Dubai title, crowning him as European player of the year.
Not a bad season for the lad, winner of the Masters, to complete the career Grand Slam, the Players Championship, a win at Pebble Beach, and a starring role (3-1-1) in Europe’s away victory at the Ryder Cup at Bethpage.
—Justin Thomas will miss the beginning of the PGA Tour season after undergoing back surgery.
“Life update – I’ve had some nagging hip pain for a handful of months,” Thomas said in a statement posted on social media. “After some time off and worsening symptoms, an MRI showed I had a disc problem that needed to be treated.”
–Talk about hype. Kai Trump, the 18-year-old amateur, received a sponsor exemption to play in an LPGA event, The Annika (Pelican Golf Club, Belleair, Fla.), and President Trump’s granddaughter shot a first-round 83 to sit last in the 108-player field. Kai then shot 75 in the second round to miss the cut by 17…in last place by six shots.
Kai, a University of Miami commit who is No. 461 in the American Junior Golf Association rankings and has finished no higher than 24th in three 2025 AJGA starts, with an 83.56 scoring average for nine rounds, nonetheless got the exemption.

—Mikaela Shiffrin captured World Cup win No. 102 on Saturday in a slalom race at Levi, Finland. Amazing.
–No Premier League action this weekend as we had World Cup qualifying matches.
–Steve Politi / NJ.com (Star-Ledger)
“Do the Olympic schedule makers actually watch the Olympics? Given how they just ruined one of the biggest potential storylines of the Los Angeles Games, that is a question that plenty who love track and field are asking.
“The schedule, which was released this week, would make it impossible for Dunellen (N.J.) native Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone to chase an unprecedented ‘double’ in the 400 meters and the 400-meter hurdles in 2028 – and her personal coach is fuming.
“ ‘We’re a sport fighting for attention. So why do you make this decision?’ Bob Kersee told The Orange County Register. ‘This shows the weakness of our sport. We’ve got the stars but we don’t get any help from the top.’
“McLauglin-Levrone is already history’s greatest at the 400-meter hurdles. Following her decorated career at Union Catholic High, she won the 2021 and 2024 gold medals in that event and lowered the record six times. She was racing against the clock – and herself – when she cruised to victory at the Paris Olympics.
“It was no surprise, then, that she has sought new events to conquer. She won the gold medal in the flat 400 at the World Championships in Tokyo in September in 47.78 seconds, the second-fastest time ever and an American record.
“The goal was no secret: To attempt to win gold in both races in Los Angeles, a feat that would require a little help from the schedule makers. Instead, the flat 400 final are in the same session as the 400 hurdles, leaving no realistic chance at attempting both.
“In case you think it would be unprecedented to build the schedule for one athlete, think again. Officials have adjusted the track schedule for superstars before, including at the 1996 Atlanta Games to accommodate Michael Johnson’s successful attempt to become the first man to win the 200 and 400 gold medals in the same Olympics.
“It is possible, if not likely, that organizers could change their minds in the run-up to Los Angeles if McLaughlin-Levrone petitions the IOC.”
Fingers crossed. This would suck otherwise.
