The Texans trailed at 30-0 at halftime and it was probably even worse than the score indicated, if that's possible. That performance came a week after the Texans had five yards at halftime at home against the Washington Commanders. The Texans have become the worst team in the NFL. The Texans have won four games in back-to-back seasons and probably isn't going to sniff four wins this season. LOSERSRussell Wilson, Nathaniel Hackett ... week after week: A stunning stat made the rounds on Twitter last week.

USC would appear to be a lock for that spot if it wins the Pac-12 title game. Georgia (12-0): 100%It’s hard to see any way the Bulldogs fall out of the top four during the SEC title game. Michigan (12-0): 95%The Wolverines are also going to be a heavy favorite on Saturday against Purdue in the Big Ten title game. If USC loses in the Pac-12 title game the fourth spot is up for grabs. Now Michigan is headed to the Big Ten title game where it will be a massive favorite.

If the 2023 NFL draft were to be held today, the Raiders would have the second overall pick with a 2-7 record. With a potentially top-two pick in what looks like a two-man quarterback class, that option is one that the Raiders have to consider. McDaniels’ offense has been nothing short of electric this season. Not only is this Dolphins offense generating explosive plays on the regular, they’re also avoiding negative plays in the passing game. 1 wide receiver that's masquerading as the second option in the Dolphins offense.

The Crimson Tide forced an incomplete pass in the end zone on fourth down in the game's final minute to avoid its first two-game losing streak since 2013.

No reason to hedge anymore: Alabama is out of the College Football Playoff race. The 10th-ranked Crimson Tide beat No. 11 Mississippi, but all that did was clinch the SEC West for No. 7 LSU, which beat Arkansas earlier Saturday to eliminate Alabama. Without a path to the Southeastern Conference championship game, the slim chance Alabama had to reach the CFP for the eighth time in its nine-year history is now none.

Things got murky in the Heisman chase after the top candidates struggled on Saturday. Here's where things stand after Week 10.

LSU opted to go for the win over No. 6 Alabama in an SEC battle, and it worked out as they walked away with a 32-31 win in the overtime thriller.

Jayden Daniels ran for 25-yard touchdown in overtime and then found tight end Mason Taylor for a needed 2-point conversion, and 15th-ranked LSU defeated No. 6 Alabama 32-31.

The 2023 NFL Draft is still six months away, but team needs are coming into focus. Where could C.J. Stroud and Bryce Young end up? Who might your team pick?

Tennessee QB Hendon Hooker now has the lowest odds at BetMGM to win the 2022 Heisman Trophy. Hooker is +100 to win the Heisman after Tennessee's blowout win over Kentucky on Saturday night. Hooker is 156-of-219 passing for 2,338 yards and 21 TDs so far this season and has thrown just one interception. Stroud is now at +175 to win the Heisman after he was at better than even money before Week 9. Heisman odds after Week 9Tennessee QB Hendon Hooker (+100)Ohio State QB C.J.

New England PatriotsTCU WR Quentin JohnsonA big, talented wide receiver for Mac Jones (or Bailey Zappe?) He has all the talent to be a great wide receiver, but it hasn’t quite come together in the way he hoped. Here’s another young edge to pair with Joe Tryon-Shoyinka for the future of their defense.

October is a little early to really be talking about the NFL draft, but let’s face it: Some of these teams (specifically looking at you, Carolina Panthers) don’t really have much left to play for. From a skills perspective, Young appears to have all the goods to be a long-term starting quarterback in the NFL. Young’s legs are a weapon, but his arm is the driving force of what makes him arguably the best quarterback prospect in the 2023 NFL draft. That's how smart he is.”Young’s draft prospects are certified even with the concerns about his size. He appears to have a little extra juice than the three NFL quarterbacks that played before him and has something in his closet that none of them have — a Heisman Trophy.

- Sam CooperMichigan 41, Penn State 17It’s no secret that Penn State has frequently come up short in big games under head coach James Franklin. Michigan moved the ball at will from the opening series, but Penn State held on three of UM’s four red zone trips in the first half. Even with Jahan Dotson now in the NFL, Penn State has a solid receiving corps. Other than a visit from Ohio State, Penn State has a manageable schedule ahead with a path to nine or even 10 wins. With Michigan, Illinois and Penn State — all on the road — still on the schedule, a bowl feels like a long shot.

Tennessee beat Alabama on a last-second field goal, beating Nick Saban for the first time in 16 tries as fans emptied Neyland Stadium onto the field.

Hendon Hooker drove the Vols 45 yards in 18 seconds to set up the winner. Alabama quarterback Bryce Young, a game-time decision because of a sprained right shoulder two weeks ago, completed 35 passes for 455 yards and two TDs. Young threw for 205 yards and a touchdown in the first half, while Hooker had 166 yards and two scores. In one possession in its own territory, Alabama had holding, motion and delay penalties and a fumbled snap that Bryce Young recovered. THE TAKEAWAYAlabama: Alabama didn’t have an answer for a Tennessee team that just wouldn’t give up.

Chase McGrath made a 40-yard field goal as time expired to give No. 6 Tennessee a 52-49 victory over No. 3 Alabama on Saturday.

That was all the time Vols quarterback Hendon Hooker needed to get his team in field goal range. The game started with a furious Tennessee flurry of scoring before the Crimson Tide fought their way back. In came Hendon Hooker, hailed as the best Tennessee quarterback since you-know-who. That was the last highlight for Alabama for quite some time, as Tennessee feasted on mistake after Tide mistake. The only problem for Tennessee: Alabama was matching the Vols score for score.

Alabama quarterback Bryce Young is reportedly trending in the right direction and is expected to start against Tennessee on Saturday afternoon.

Alabama head coach Nick Saban is hopeful that quaretrback Bryce Young will be able to play against No. 6 Tennessee on Saturday after missing the game against Texas A&M.

It could well be among the marquee quarterback matchups of the season: Alabama’s Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young versus Tennessee’s rising star Hendon Hooker.

Georgia has taken back the top spot in The Associated Press college football poll from Alabama.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — (AP) — Jalen Milroe threw for three touchdowns in his first start and No. 1 Alabama made a final goal-line stand to escape with a 24-20 victory over Texas A&M on Saturday night in a battle of backup quarterbacks. Milroe passed for 111 yards and ran for 183, but also threw an interception and lost two fumbles. The defense then forced Alabama into a three-and-out, setting up one more shot for King and the Aggies. Alabama: The dynamic passing game with Young wasn't evident, but the grind-it-out run game was effective but for the array of mistakes.

1 Alabama escaped with a 24-20 win over Texas A&M on Saturday night despite four turnovers and two missed field goals. Texas A&M got to the Alabama 2 with three seconds left thanks to a pass interference call in the end zone on what would have been a game-sealing interception. Young missed the game after spraining the AC joint in his right throwing shoulder in Week 5 against Arkansas. That gave Jalen Milroe the start and he fumbled twice in the first half and also threw an interception. A&M could have pulled the upset if it wasn’t for the same offensive struggles that have plagued the Aggies all season long.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — (AP) — Alabama quarterback Bryce Young didn't start the game against Texas A&M because of sprained right shoulder, leaving Jalen Milroe as his replacement. Johnson, who had started the past three games for the Aggies, also was replaced with an injured throwing hand. Unlike Young, Johnson was on the sideline in sweats. Young came out onto the field for warmups 50 minutes before kickoff, taking snaps alongside the backups, and was even announced as the starter. Young was injured when he landed on his shoulder early in the Arkansas game, and Milroe wound up playing most of the game.

Alabama quarterback Bryce Young didn’t start the game against Texas A&M with a sprained right shoulder, leaving Jalen Milroe as his replacement.

Bryce Young injured his shoulder falling awkwardly in the second quarter of Saturday's win over Arkansas. After the game, Saban characterized the injury as an AC joint sprain, and he didn't elaborate on that Monday. “It’s a little bit of a shoulder injury, not a long term-type injury,” Saban said. I can’t tell if it’s going to be today, tomorrow or the next day.”Regarding the play where Young was injured, Saban offered a bit of perspective. How injured is Young, and how much does the injury dent the Tide’s title hopes?

The Crimson Tide received 25 first-place votes and 1,523 points in the AP Top 25 presented by Regions Bank, two points more than the Bulldogs. The rest of the AP Top 25 got a major overhaul after 10 ranked teams lost, five to unranked opponents. With Kansas back in the rankings, the longest poll appearance drought belongs to Illinois, which was last ranked in 2011. The Bearcats are the one team to enter the rankings this week that already had been in this season. Florida State and Minnesota had brief stays in the AP Top 25.

Alabama reclaimed No. 1 from Georgia in The Associated Press college football poll in one of the closest votes in the recent years.

— (AP) — Alabama quarterback Bryce Young left the No. 20 Arkansas midway through the second quarter Saturday after an apparent injury to his throwing shoulder. Young, who had already thrown a touchdown pass and run for a score, threw his helmet down before entering the medical tent on the Alabama sideline. Young threw for 173 yards before he left with 10:42 remaining in the first half.

Thank you to @kj_jefferson2 and the @RazorbackFB football team for making this happen for my son.

Alabama has mostly breezed through the first month of the season, with one big scare and three games that were frightfully but predictably easy.

Young is completing 69% of his passes for 1,029 yards and 13 TDs to two interceptions this season. Wisconsin's secondary was overmatched even though Egbuka, Julian Fleming, Cade Stover and Marvin Harrison Jr. were the only Ohio State players who caught passes. Since the start of the 2020 season, Wisconsin is 9-7 in Big Ten play. Maybe comparing Wisconsin and Ohio State is unfair. It's going to be a significant test for McCarthy ahead of games against top Big Ten East competition like Ohio State and Penn State.

2 Alabama rolled to a 63-7 victory over Louisiana-Monroe on Saturday. It was a whirlwind start against the 49 1/2-point underdog Warhawks (1-2) a week after a much closer-than-expected victory over Texas cost Alabama the No. It wasn't a seamless performance for either the Tide offense or Young, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner. Chandler Rogers completed 11 of 21 passes 96 yards for Louisiana-Monroe and was intercepted once. THE TAKEAWAYLouisiana-Monroe: Managed to keep a horrid start from snowballing even more for awhile and actually was only outgained 132-125 before Alabama's final drive of the second half.

AUSTIN, Texas — (AP) — Will Reichard kicked a 33-yard field goal with 10 seconds left, and Bryce Young and No. 1 Alabama overcame a stifling defensive effort by Texas to earn a hard-fought 20-19 victory Saturday. Young was hit and harassed by the Texas defense most of the game, but the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback put together a big fourth quarter. Texas (1-1) stuffed Alabama on fourth-and-inches late to set up a go-ahead field goal by Bert Auburn with 1:39 remaining.

Alabama is No. 1 in the preseason AP Top 25 for the second straight season.

With two of the best players in the country leading the way — and a championship game loss as motivation — Alabama is No. 1 in The Associated Press preseason college football poll for the second straight season and ninth time overall. Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young, national defensive player of year Will Anderson Jr. and the Crimson Tide received 54 of 63 first-place votes and 1,566 points in the Top 25 presented by Regions Bank released on Monday. Ohio State is No. 2 with six first-place votes (1,506 points) from the media panel and defending national champion Georgia is third with three first-place votes (1,455 points).

The preseason edition of the USA Today coaches poll was released Monday and Georgia came in at No. 3 behind Alabama and Ohio State. Alabama, of course, lost to UGA in last year’s CFP title game while Ohio State fell short of winning the Big Ten championship for the first time since 2016. Alabama received 54 of the 65 first-place votes while Ohio State received five and Georgia received six. Michigan, on the heels of its first win over Ohio State since 2011 and its first outright Big Ten title since 2003, is ranked No.

Life at the top of the Southeastern Conference can be difficult, especially when anything short of a national championship in football is considered unsatisfactory.

Saban said Crimson Tide players have made more than $3 million in NIL money. “The biggest concern is how does this impact and affect recruiting?” he said Tuesday at the Southeastern Conference Media Days. And, by the way, there’s not going to be any salary cap or draft, you’re just going to have bidding wars,’” Leach said.

It was an easy ask.”VANDY’S WRIGHT MOVEMike Wright enters preseason camp as Vanderbilt’s starting quarterback.

Nick Saban has been vocal about his issues with the status quo in name, image and likeness deals and their use in recruiting.

SEC Media Day 2 began with a visit from Thor by way of Tuscaloosa. With Nick Saban, Heisman winner Bryce Young and other members of the Tide scheduled to appear, some of the hardcore Bama faithful made their way to the College Football Hall of Fame to greet their heroes. Leach’s opening statement was just two words: “Any questions?”Why Nick Saban doesn’t like vacationNick Saban delved in depth into complex topics like NIL and recruitment. But he set the stage with the revelation that he's not a big fan of vacations … for a not-at-all-surprisinig reason. He offered up a few TV recommendations — “Operation: Odessa,” “Better Call Saul,” “Yellowstone,” "Stranger Things” — and solicited more from the assembled media.

In the vast new landscape of NIL, they’re seeing the limits of their control, and they’re fighting back against their dwindling influence. I want our players to do well,” Saban said at his Tuesday morning session. It’s a substantial total — $3 million more than players were (legally) receiving the prior year, of course — but it’s a small fraction of the $9.75 million Saban earned in salary last year. So he framed his comments in a rising-tide-lifts-all-boats way, saying that NIL oversight would “create a competitive balance issue between the haves and have nots. A player might get an NIL deal to join a team, but if he doesn’t perform, further deals aren’t likely to materialize.

This was a nice gesture by the Alabama coach.

Georgia has become an elite program under Kirby Smart, but has not been able to chase down its Southeastern Conference rival until now.

They'll get another shot at Alabama, the team that left them huffing and puffing in a 41-24 beatdown for the Southeastern Conference title. The Bulldogs posted three shutouts and allowed just 83 points — a miniscule 6.9 per game and by far the best in the country. They went into the SEC title game with all sorts of swagger, even though they were facing the defending national champs, a team they haven't beaten since 2007. His scrambling left Davis and the Bulldogs huffing and puffing, creating plenty of time to hit one deep pass after another. “You can actually win the line of scrimmage and you could possibly lose the game because of explosive plays,” Smart said.

ARLINGTON, Texas — (AP) — Bryce Young is a former five-star recruit who won the Heisman Trophy in his first season as Alabama’s starting quarterback. Stetson Bennett is a former walk-on who became the starter at Georgia and never really lost the confidence of his teammates. "But like coach (Kirby Smart) said, this game was just so we could play the next game." That game is scheduled for Jan. 10 in Indianapolis, where the top-ranked defending national champion Crimson Tide and No. I came out there and played well and worked hard throughout the few weeks we had off because my teammates needed me to do that, and we needed that to win,” Bennett said.
