The chances of Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss playing in the college football playoff took a massive hit on Saturday afternoon in Gainesville, thanks to the rejuvenated Florida Gators. Florida’s 24-17 win was massive for coach Billy Napier, and it also causes further chaos in the College Football Playoff rankings that are coming on Tuesday.

The Las Vegas Grand Prix goes lights out on Saturday night (although, if you’re on the East Coast like I am, it’ll be on Sunday morning), and it’s going to be an incredibly important race for both the World Drviers’ Championship — which Red Bull’s Max Verstappen can clinch — as well as the World Constructors’ standings, with several close battles for millions in prize money playing out up and down the standings.

This was the game where Indiana was going to prove to the world that it was worthy enough to be a College football Playoff team. A chance against Ohio State to silence the doubters turned into a missed opportunity for the Hoosiers, as the Buckeyes rolled 38-15 in Columbus.

The New York Yankees are coming off a debilitating loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 2024 World Series, where the team’s lackluster defense and offensive inconsistency played major roles. The team’s captain and best player, superstar outfielder Aaron Judge, exemplified both. He struggled early in the series on offense, then dropped a routine fly ball to center field in a pivotal fifth inning collapse in game five.
One of the few consistent performers was Juan Soto, who hit .327 in the postseason with a .469 on base percentage and .633 slugging percentage.

Novak Djokovic has had hired longtime rival Andy Murray to be his new coach ahead of the 2025 season. Murray will work with Djokovic during the offseason and at least through the Australian Open.

Manchester City’s misery continued with a shock 4-0 Premier League rout by Tottenham Hotspur at Etihad Stadium on Saturday, marking the first time in Pep Guardiola’s dazzling managerial career that he has lost five games in a row across all competitions.
