Ranking players happens everywhere. At Yahoo Sports, we’re putting a bit of a twist on it. Thirty-nine names. Four categories. Four weeks in October leading to the season opener. Let the arguing begin.
Forty names, games, teams and minutiae making news in college football, where Dan Lanning is willing to bet that he can arrive at the airport 20 minutes before his flight departs and still make it:
First Quarter: Ranking the unbeatens
Second Quarter: The one-loss path to the Playoff
In the nine years of its existence, a total of 15 undefeated teams have made the College Football Playoff. Twenty-one have come in with one loss. None have ever made the field with two losses.
With that in mind, it’s time to take a look at the best one-loss paths to the Playoff.
One of the most explosive players in the country will be missing some time due to injury. Georgia tight end Brock Bowers suffered an ankle sprain that will keep him out of action for upwards to six weeks.
The All-American tight end suffered the injury during their game against Vanderbilt this past weekend. Kirby Smart did announce that X-rays came back negative for Bowers, but did discuss a sprain to his ankle.
One of the bigger questions concerning this injury is whether or not he was dealing with a high ankle sprain, which Rusty Mansell confirmed on Monday.
The Warriors have kept a big three of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green together for a decade. But for Thompson, as the 2023-24 NBA season approaches, the current state of his contract has led to a “very real possibility” that he could enter the next offseason as a free agent, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
While speaking on ESPN’s NBA Countdown, Wojnarowski offered insight into the current state of Thompson’s contract negotiations with Golden State and just how far apart the two sides are.
Brock Bowers, one of the best players in college football, has been the top target for Georgia QB Carson Beck this season.
Colorado’s embarrassing loss to Stanford on Friday night was one for the ages. The team squandered a 29-point lead, and the college football world was rightfully shocked, especially considering all the off-the-field hype surrounding coach Deion Sanders and his surprising Buffaloes.
But a video posted by Deion Sanders Jr. before the loss has gained some traction. The clip clearly shows Buffaloes coaches criticizing players for troubling habits that would manifest in the eventual upset.
Wisconsin quarterback Tanner Mordecai broke his throwing hand against Iowa this weekend and had surgery Sunday, a source told ESPN.
It was a preseason game. Or was it? ESPN cameras, a sold-out crowd, physicality you rarely see in a meaningless mid-October matchup. Lakers vs. Bucks on Sunday afternoon had a regular-season vibe. Maybe more. When Milwaukee’s locker room door swung open after a 108–97 win, no one marched out of it with a broader smile than Damian Lillard.
For all the talk about money and Miami, this, this, was what Lillard missed. The energy. The excitement. The chance to play for a contender. In his first game in a Bucks uniform Lillard scored 14 points in 22 minutes.
1. The worst kind of problem is the one where there is no solution. I don’t know what the answer is for the NFL having atrocious refs, but it’s a major, major issue.
I don’t want to say the refs cost the Niners the game Sunday since their kicker missed a game-winning field goal on the final play, but the refs couldn’t have helped the Browns any more than they did.
For starters, this hit, which was a shoulder-to-shoulder hit, was called unnecessary roughness on third-and-10 from the Cleveland 26 with 2:45 left in the game and the 49ers up 17–16.
