Mel and Todd pick the guys being overlooked for next year's draft, including Notre Dame corner Julian Love. Here's who else makes the list.
Alabama quarterback Jalen Hurts has a high-ankle sprain and underwent a minor procedure, coach Nick Saban said.
After Ohio State lost to Purdue, Notre Dame now has the best Strength of Record in the country. This is purely about accomplishment -- how difficult was it to achieve the record you have? Harder to go 7-1 with LSU's schedule than undefeated with Clemson or Alabama's so far.
A loss to Purdue didn't eliminate the Buckeyes, but Ohio State's chance to reach the playoff dropped 47 percentage points. Meanwhile no one improved its playoff outlook yesterday more than Michigan, who is now the fourth-most likely team to reach the CFP.
With Ohio State's loss to Purdue, a spot has opened for a new contender. Our experts believe LSU has earned it with its win over Mississippi State.
LSU All-American linebacker Devin White will miss the first half of the Tigers' game against Alabama on Nov. 3 after he was called for targeting in the second half Saturday against Mississippi State.
Alabama center Ross Pierschbacher said it never gets old beating Tennessee. Alabama wins for the 12th straight time in the series, which is the most consecutive losses by the Vols to any team.
A little ice never bothered Nick Saban.
QB Tua Tagovailoa said his knee is "fine" after he exited Saturday's win over Tennessee in the third quarter after taking a hit.
Former Tennessee coach Butch Jones, now an Alabama offensive analyst, puffs on a cigar in a victorious Crimson Tide locker room. The Alabama players also gave Jones a Gatorade shower after the game.
The Tide and Tigers keep marching toward a playoff rematch, with both teams looking stronger than ever.
Tua Tagovailoa threw touchdown passes to four receivers and No. 1 Alabama started fast again in a 58-21 victory over Tennessee on Saturday.
Alabama dominated again, while the Wolverines look like CFP contenders after taking down Michigan State. Ohio State? Not so much. What else have we learned in Week 8?
Tua Tagovailoa was night and day better this week in practice in the way he moved around on his strained right knee, according to several in the Alabama program, and that's the way it's played out so far in what's already a commanding Alabama 28-0 lead over Tennessee. The biggest difference for Tagovailoa since straining his knee two weeks ago against Arkansas has been his confidence and not being hesitant with the knee after the initial scare. Alabama has now scored on 43 of 57 Tagovailoa-led drives this season.
Could be that Alabama is fired up because former Tide defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt is the Tennessee head coach. Could be that Tennessee got Alabama's attention with an upset win last week at Auburn. Or it could be that Alabama will always be ready to play Tennessee. Whatever it is, Alabama came out of the locker room on fire. Four possessions, four TDs in the first 11:29 of the game.
Alabama has scored three touchdowns. Tennessee has had six offensive snaps.
