Alabama defensive back Terrion Arnold was excited when the College Football Playoff committee announced the Crimson Tide as the No. 4 team in the final rankings on Sunday afternoon.

Charles Barkley dropped a bold prediction for the 2024 NBA Finals on Monday, having sized up the league’s contenders before making his pick on who the champions will be.
During Monday’s segment of TNT’s NBA Tip-Off, Barkley boldly stated that the Celtics were going to win a championship this season. When pressed by Shaquille O’Neal and Kenny Smith about his choice, Barkley upped the ante and made his prediction into a full-fledged guarantee.

Alabama quarterback Tyler Buchner was one of the hundreds of players Monday to enter the transfer portal in college football, but throwing passes might not be in his future plans.
After transferring from Notre Dame during the off-season, following offensive coordinator Tommy Rees from South Bend, the transfer quarterback was fighting for the starting job.

Circumstantial evidence points to the possibility that Shohei Ohtani, the jewel of the sport and of the offseason, might be advancing in conversations with the Blue Jays.

With tight end Zach Ertz still available on the NFL free agent market ahead of Week 14, several contenders including the 9–3 Ravens remain among the teams closely linked to the injured veteran.
Ertz’s connection to Baltimore, next to a reunion with the Eagles, has drawn heavy speculation since his release from the Cardinals was originally reported by retired star J.J. Watt on Nov. 30. Despite the team’s apparent need at the position, the Ravens may not have Ertz in their current plans, according to coach John Harbaugh.
Fox Sports commentator Richard Sherman is the latest to weigh in on the controversial decision to include SEC champion Alabama over undefeated ACC champion Florida State in the 2023 College Football Playoff.
The committee’s decision to tab the Crimson Tide (12–1) over the Seminoles (13–0) has been hotly debated in the college football world since the announcement on Sunday.
On Monday’s episode of Undisputed on FS1, Sherman ripped the committee’s decision, while also blasting the entire SEC.
“The SEC plays mostly a ‘Patty Cake’ schedule,” said Sherman.
The Jaguars are in the hunt for the top playoff seed in the AFC with a few weeks left in the regular season.
