We have entered the final week of the college football season, with Ohio State and Notre Dame set to play for a title next Monday in Atlanta. 
After what has been a wild ride that started in Dublin, Ireland, it will all come down to one final game inside Mercedes-Benz Stadium. For the Fighting Irish, I don’t know how many folks thought they’d be in this spot following that loss to Northern Illinois in September, but here they are, on the final leg of their redemption tour.

The Wild Card Round was unkind to a couple of superstar quarterbacks.
Somehow, at some point very recently, the NFL decided that the opening round of the playoffs was to be called the Wild Card Weekend. This was a startling change.
You see, in recent years the NFL has tried to force the round in question as the Super Wild Card Weekend and has done so in a (clearly) failing effort.
Sunday night’s game provided the first bit of true entertainment as the first four games of this whole thing were sleepy outings at best.

The professional divorce between Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and coach Mike McCarthy has been submitted for its autopsy, and that work is being done by reporters throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex now.
But the exercise, whichever direction it leads, has to start with the fact that Jones has hurt himself. And his football team.

There are some stout defensive tackles available in free agency.
With a few defensive tackles projected to be taken in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft and several plug-and-go starters available in free agency, the DT positions are sure to see some overhaul this offseason.
We polled a group of writers from around SB Nation to gather consensus rankings about the players.
We will remove players from the list as they re-sign with their current teams all the way up to the opening of free agency in March.

On Sunday, police arrested a man accused of stalking WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark. The details of the alleged stalking are disturbing. 
As OutKick reported Monday, “the Marion County Prosecutor’s office alleged the man sent the Indiana Fever star numerous threats and sexually explicit messages via his social media accounts’” before eventually trying to physically contact Clark by traveling to Indianapolis.

The idiom that best suits Sam Darnold now? The bubble has burst.
Or the dream has become a nightmare.
It’s your choice, but this much is certain:
Darnold’s season that looked so promising and gave off such a feel-good vibe about the value of resiliency has collapsed. And the Minnesota Vikings quarterback found himself buried under the rubble Monday night.
“At the end of the day, all that matters, when you have a good season,” Darnold said, “is what you do in the playoffs. And we didn’t get it done today and that’s all that matters.
