Sixth Year Seniors

Belichick to Carolina makes no sense. Travis Hunter winning the Heisman makes sense, but is still wrong. No leads are safe in college hoops. And five Mortgage Plays to make Christmas merry.

Doing it better than the playoff and bowl committees. Army is in the playoffs. Renewing old rivalries (Oklahoma/Nebraska) and creating new ones (in-state violence for Texas and Illinois). Plus, a way to use Sanders and Hunter even after they opt out.

Bags of money have apparently gone missing. How else do you explain only three SEC teams getting into the college football playoffs? SMU snags a shocking bid after losing to a last-second field goal. And the Big 10 gets four teams despite Penn State and Indiana not beating anyone of merit. And Georgia has an injured QB issue that reminds fans for 2023 Florida State. In basketball, #1 and #2 each lose last week. Welcome to anarchy again!

Championship Week guaranteed winners, including one final Mortgage Play in the Big 10 title game. The SEC will still get five teams into the playoffs because...bags of money. And speaking of the SEC, what happened to ACC basketball Tuesday night?

Ohio State gets upset about a flag. Maybe they should have cared more about the game. Notre Dame may have the coveted #5 seed locked up. The clock is ticking on the Sanders/Hunter Opt-Out press conference. UMass and UConn can't even get a trophy right. And we have the worst 12 teams in a lose-and-advance playoff.

Spots for the Big 12 title game are on multiple poles during the final week of the season. Something no one has mentioned...what if Michigan beats Ohio State? Plus all the other conference ramifications, and a live reaction to the latest playoff projection. Then we turn to basketball, where Maui is Classic and the Missouri Valley takes over other tournaments. Finally, two Mortgage Plays and a Thanksgiving Starting Five. 

High ego, low gambling intellect, Vegas cleans up on the Tyson fight. A nuclear playoff option that excludes the Big 12. Remembering when Golden State was horrible. College hoop tourney television. And finally, four Mortgage Plays for those trying to rebound from the Tyson fight. Carry the news.

The road to the Big 12 title runs through Lawrence, Kansas. After knocking BYU from the land of unbeatens, now Kansas has a chance to disrupt the Colorado Buffaloes. Meanwhile, the Sun Belt and Conference USA are worth keeping eyes on during the final weeks of the season.

News and notes from across a multitude of sports (and other subjects). Then five Mortgage Plays, including two of the Late Night Get Back games.

A fake Bengal tiger shows up for the Alabama/LSU game. That went about as well as the Tigers' game plan. Gus Johnson no-sells Ohio State demolition of Purdue. He'll obviously be happier next week when he calls the PRIME TIME PRIME TIME Colorado Buffaloes game. And the Auburn hoops team races to the "How Stupid Can We Be" award just a week into the season.
