Bowl Projections: Big Ten fills New Year's Six bowls after Week 9
Although the College Football Playoff field remains the same, just about every other major bowl game gets a new matchup after Week 9. That’s hardly surprising given the number of pivotal outcomes the week produced, including the first loss of the season for four teams. One of the biggest winners of the week is actually a loser. Nebraska slides up to the New Year’s Six bowls despite its defeat at Wisconsin, as the Cornhuskers capitalize on South Carolina’s upset ..>> view originalCommittee throws a curveball in first CFP playoff rankings
Now that the College Football Playoff selection committee has spoken, at least for the first time this season, let the debating, bickering and second-guessing begin.Perhaps the most surprising development from the initial rankings was that one-loss Texas A&M earned the No. 4 spot and unbeaten Washington the No. 5 spot. The Aggies have played a more difficult schedule, but it's also hard not to be impressed with how well the Huskies have played this season.The good news for the Huskies is that th..>> view originalJerami Grant might want to delete these tweets about his new teammate Russell Westbrook
Jerami Grant is now a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder, after he was sent over by the Sixers on Tuesday in exchange for Ersan Ilyasova and a conditional first round pick. That means he will have to see Russell Westbrook on a daily basis, which may get awkward after he sees these tweets. Years ago, Grant, now 22, criticized Russ’s shot selection a good amount. He was 17 for most of these, so let’s not go nuts over them. It’s still hilarious to read these..>> view originalDerek Carr Isn't As Good As You Think
Want to know the really good news, Raiders fans? Not only is your team 6-2 and hosting its first network prime-time game since 2003, it’s 6-2 despite the fact that quarterback Derek Carr hadn’t played particularly well until last Sunday. After throwing for four touchdowns and 513 yards in last week’s overtime win against the Bucs, Carr’s name is being floated in MVP discussions. But that’s only because people feel they’re supposed to do that whenever a QB on a winning team has big numbers. The ..>> view originalAP Source: Jets plan to sign CJ Spiller, cut Knile Davis

CLEVELAND – Here we go, Game 7, the 1908s vs. the 1948s. The Cubs or Indians will win, provided the apocalypse doesn’t strike first. Or a deluge that is forecast to strike at about 11 p.m. ET, and could be the first rainstorm in history to perpetuate not one but two droughts. The beauty of Game 6 -- an otherwise ugly affair resulting in a 9-3 Cubs victory Tuesday -- is that it left the canvas blank for Game 7. A Cy Young candidate will start for each team. The Indians’ top relievers are rest..>> view originalOklahoma suspends RB Joe Mixon after altercation with parking attendant

Especially where the still-embryonic career of Dak Prescott is concerned.The Dallas Cowboys' rookie quarterback has so far been poised and smart and nimble of both mind and body. He's third in the league in Total QBR, fifth in yards per pass attempt. The Cowboys are 6-1 with him starting in place of an injured Tony Romo. They were 1-11 without Romo last year.Editor's PicksL..>> view originalCurry has 28 points and Warriors beat the Blazers 127-104
