ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia coach Kirby Smart challenged College Football Playoff selection committee members to believe what they see when judging his No. “When you talk about the four best teams, watch the game,” Smart said after Georgia's 27-24 loss to No. Bulldogs quarterback Carson Beck said it won't be easy to watch the committee announce the four-team playoff field on Sunday. “It’s a really talented football team and is a really balanced football team. So we’re the best teams, and do we want the best teams?”___Get alerts on the latest AP Top 25 poll throughout the season.

Carson Beck and Jalen Milroe had to replace big-name quarterbacks at programs with national title-or-bust expectations. His turning point may have come in the SEC opener against South Carolina, when Beck rallied Georgia from a 14-3 halftime deficit to win 24-14. And Milroe has done something even Young couldn't do last season: lead the Tide to the SEC title game. Then Milroe was back, leading the Tide to a perfect SEC season and making their biggest play in the Iron Bowl. Besides the similarities of replacing star passers, Beck and Milroe share another common ground.

“He and the band championed Beck, Mudhoney, Dinosaur Jr. and Nirvana” early on, he said. (She memorably howls her way through “Death Valley ’69,” Sonic Youth’s combustive first single, from 1984.) In October 2011, Sonic Youth’s label made the surprise announcement that Moore and Gordon had separated after 27 years of marriage. In the book, Moore shares a bare-bones version of what transpired — he had fallen in love with Eva Prinz, a book editor. If I got too much into that, that would be a critical focus, as it is with any memoir.

☆ Fact Check-Faked video claims to show an alien abduction in Russia

Video of an alleged alien abduction is not authentic and shows signs of having been faked, an image-manipulation expert told Reuters. While some users are skeptical of the video’s authenticity in their comments, others seem to believe that it indeed shows an alien abduction. However, multiple aspects of the video indicate it is fake, and “represents poor staging of an alien abduction,” Thorsten Beck, an image-manipulation researcher at the Humboldt-Elsevier Advanced Data and Text (HEADT) Centre (headt.eu/Thorsten-Beck), told Reuters. Also, a “powerful spotlight” illuminating the scene from the left side appears to have been “either switched off” or covered moments before the alleged abduction takes place. The video shows signs of having been faked and does not depict an authentic alien abduction, according to an expert analysis.

CNN —Rocket Lab, a start-up building small orbital rockets, kicked off another successful mission on Friday — but it failed in its efforts to recapture its rocket booster as it tumbled down toward Earth. Rocket Lab positioned a modified Sikorsky S-92 helicopter to intercept it mid-descent, aiming to snag the booster by its strings. Rocket Lab CEO Peter Beck has noted that it’s preferable to catch the rocket midair to keep it dry. A lot remains unclear about how Rocket Lab will ultimately reuse its rockets. Beck cited the company as a model for how Rocket Lab would proceed.
