College basketball rankings: Gonzaga’s impressive win vs. Kansas proves the No. 1 Zags deserve the top spot

[email protected]_84 November 27, 2020

Gonzaga was ranked No. 1 in the preseason Associated Press Top 25 poll for the first time in school history earlier this month. And when the Zags opened the season Thursday, they undeniably looked like they deserve the number next to their name.

Final score: Gonzaga 102, Kansas 90.

The Zags shot 64.5% from the field against Kansas despite missing 12 of the 18 3-pointers they attempted. Put another way, the Zags shot 77.3% inside the arc and finished with 62 points in the paint. It was, in a variety of ways, an absolutely impressive performance that doubled as the 600th victory of Mark Few’s head-coaching career.

Yep, Gonzaga’s coach now has 600 victories just one game into his 22nd season. It’s incredible and the byproduct of Few averaging 28.5 wins per season while literally never missing the NCAA Tournament and building one of the very best programs —

College Football Playoff rankings to be impacted most by these 5 games

USA TODAY Sports’ Paul Myerberg breaks down the latest Amway Coaches Poll.

Thanksgiving weekend ordinarily presents a bountiful feast of tasty college football clashes as the fall season winds down. There aren’t quite as many in this unusual season with some traditional matchups rescheduled, but there are still a number of games on the slate that could affect the national championship picture.

The focus this weekend returns to the ACC, seemingly headed toward a rematch of an earlier instant classic, and to the SEC, where the odds-on favorite faces its in-state foe. Then there’s the Pac-12, trying to present its best case.

Here are the five games that could have the most impact on the quest for the College Football Playoff.

There’s an old saying among college basketball coaches that the best way to become a better-shooting team is to recruit and play better shooters. I was reminded of that on Wednesday when Virginia, a dreadful 3-point shooting team last season, bombed Towson from beyond the arc thanks to a pair of transfers who can alone make the Cavaliers real threats from deep.

Trey Murphy, a transfer from Rice, and Sam Hauser, a transfer from Marquette, combined to sink nine of the 11 3-pointers they attempted in Virginia’s 89-54 season-opening win over Pat Skerry’s Tigers. A 6-foot-9 guard, Murphy didn’t receive a waiver from the NCAA to play until Tuesday. Then he came off the bench Wednesday, took eight shots from beyond the arc, made six of them and finished with 21 points in 17 minutes.

“We’re so glad that he gets to play,” said Virginia coach Tony Bennett. “You

The 2020-21 college basketball season has finally arrived — better late than never, better uncertain than non-existent. Needless to say, it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Needless to say, it’s already a bumpy ride.

The head coaches at three of the schools ranked in the top 12 of the CBS Sports Preseason Top 25 And 1 — Scott Drew at No. 2 Baylor, Tom Izzo at No. 11 Michigan State, and Rick Barnes at No. 12 Tennessee — have recently tested positive for COVID-19. As a result, Baylor had to cancel games. And Tennessee had to cancel games. So some of the early marquee matchups we’ve been looking forward to for weeks are no longer scheduled to happen. And, yeah, that’s too bad.

But there will still be games!

There won’t be as many as usual, obviously. But there will still be games — presumably nearly

The College Football Playoff Rankings, Explained

[email protected]_84 November 26, 2020

The first College Football Playoff rankings for this pandemic-disrupted season were revealed Tuesday. Then came all sorts of righteous and ritualistic self-regard and fury. The coming days will bring games that will feed the cycle.

But that cycle — a staple of a sport that has thrilled generations of fans with weekly offerings of the predictable and the downright ridiculous — is more fragile than ever because of the coronavirus pandemic.

“Win out” may not prove a surefire route to a berth in semifinals at the Sugar Bowl or the Rose Bowl. Games could vanish from the schedule with only hours of warning, new matchups might be added, and postponed showdowns might be resurrected. A team might miss a chance to play for a conference title because of a viral outbreak.

If the season lasts, the final rankings are expected on Dec. 20, soon after many top teams play for

With the initial College Football Playoff Rankings for the 2020 season set to be released Tuesday night, we do not want to wait that long to get a taste of how the CFP Selection Committee will be ranking the top 25 teams in the nation. This is a warm up act for the warm up act, which are all of the CFP Rankings releases before the final one after conference championship week.

Check out the first College Football Playoff Rankings released Tuesday night.

Normally, I would detail here some of the criteria the CFP Selection Committee uses to rank the top 25 teams and choose the top four. However, nothing about 2020 is normal, and that includes the information available to the committee. Here is the entire list of criteria for 2020:

Eye test
Head-to-head record (if applicable)
Conference championship (if applicable)

The Alabama Crimson Tide debuted at No. 1 on Tuesday in the first College Football Playoff Top 25 rankings of the 2020 season.

Notre Dame is ranked No. 2, followed by Clemson at No. 3 and Ohio State at No. 4.

The Oregon Ducks checked in at No. 15 in the first set of rankings, which will come out every Tuesday through Dec. 15 before the final rankings are announced Sunday, Dec. 20. The top four teams in the final set of rankings will qualify for the College Football Playoff.

Oregon (3-0) was the highest-ranked team from the Pac-12, with No. 18 USC (3-0) the conference’s only other team in the rankings.

Ohio State makes top four, barely, in first College Football Playoff rankings

[email protected]_84 November 25, 2020

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State did enough in its first four games to warrant a coveted top-four spot in the first College Football Playoff rankings release on Tuesday.

But barely. The Buckeyes were No. 4 in the initial reveal, behind 1 Alabama, 2 Notre Dame and 3 Clemson. Those first two teams are undefeated, while Clemson’s only loss came in double-overtime at the Fighting Irish without Trevor Lawrence and three defensive starters.

If Ohio State’s small resume underwhelmed the selection committee, strength of schedule and eye test may both have been factors. Nebraska, Penn State and Rutgers are a combined 2-12. The Buckeyes gave up 491 passing yards in Saturday’s 42-35 over Indiana, the No. 12 team in the rankings.

“It comes with with the territory here,” Ohio State coach said earlier Tuesday about the expectation of annually making the playoff. “That doesn’t make it easy, knowing what you’re getting

Five College Football Playoff questions that need answers after first set of rankings

[email protected]_84 November 25, 2020

The College Football Playoff committee unveiled the first set of rankings Tuesday, and there were no questions whatsoever.

Just kidding. The committee left some interesting debates, starting with the top four. Alabama (7-0) and Notre Dame (8-0) hold the top two spots, but Clemson (7-1) is ranked ahead of Ohio State (4-0).

Why is Clemson ranked ahead of Ohio State?

There’s a bit of TV trolling at work here. The Tigers have a victory against No. 10 Miami. The Buckeyes have a victory against No. 12 Indiana. Clemson has a larger sample size, but also has a loss to No. 2 Notre Dame.

The committee might have unnecessarily boxed themselves in here, even if the Tigers beat the Irish in the rematch. Ohio State
