Yes, thanks for asking: I am terrified thinking about Saturday’s college football playoff semifinals: Michigan vs. TCU and Georgia vs. Ohio State. For this grumpy, grudge-carrying Wisconsin graduate, the idea of Big Ten rivals Michigan and Ohio State winning their semifinals and then meeting Jan. 9 for a national championship is a bone-chilling nightmare.

Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost to the Carolina Panthers, 21-3, on Oct. 23. The most pivotal clash during the penultimate week of this NFL season isn’t the high-profile showdown between Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals, two Super Bowl favorites. It’s actually between two teams with a losing record. One of them is the Carolina Panthers, who are 6-9, fired their head coach, traded away their star running back and cut their starting quarterback. They should be spending the weekend scouting talent at the College Football Playoff.

Until this season, Josh “Fig” Newton had never been part of a winning college football team. In 2018, he was a lightly recruited cornerback who started his career at his hometown university, Louisiana Monroe, which lost all 10 of its games in one of his seasons there. Then last May, thanks to the newly loosened transfer rules that govern college sports, Newton wound up on the campus of Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. He gave a rousing speech in training camp to players he barely knew. During the 2022 season, quarterback Max Duggan was the Horned Frogs’ leader on the field, but Newton emerged as one of their most vocal and emotional leaders in the locker room of a team that will face Michigan on Saturday in a College Football Playoff semifinal.

☆ The Formula That Has TCU Hunting a Spot in the College Football Playoff
  + stars: | 2022-11-16 | by ( Laine Higgins | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
In the Big 12 this season, there is a 10-0 team that is making a convincing case to be one of the four teams to make the College Football Playoff. The team features a coach named Riley calling the shots for an explosive offense and a mobile quarterback who is confounding opposing defenses. In many of the last few years, that team would have been one of Oklahoma’s Lincoln Riley-coached teams on its way to the playoff. But in 2022, the team in question is No. 4 Texas Christian, whose offensive coordinator is Garrett Riley, the former Sooners coach’s younger brother.

CLEMSON, S.C.—The highlight of D.J. Uiagalelei’s 2021 football season might have been his cameo in Dr Pepper’s long-running “Fansville” ad campaign. That’s not how it’s supposed to go for the starting quarterback at Clemson University, which failed to make the College Football Playoff for the first time since the 2014 season last year. Since taking over in 2008, coach Dabo Swinney turned the agricultural school in rural South Carolina into a championship caliber program with expectations so outsized that last year’s 10-3 campaign was considered a down year.
