BYU basketball suffered its first loss in Big 12 Conference play in the 2025-26 season as it dropped a game against No. 15 Texas Tech in Lubbock. The 11th-ranked Cougars fell 84-71 to the Red Raiders. The setback ends a 13-game win streak for Kevin Young's squad. BYU guard Robert Wright III had a career-high 28 points in the loss, while Texas Tech star JT Toppin led the way for the Red Raiders with 27 points. KSL Sports BYU Insider Mitch Harper shared his takeaways from the game and how the Cougars squandered a nine-point lead in the final eight minutes of the game.

Southeastern 16's Jay Greeson and Chris Lee power-rank the four teams remaining in the College Football Playoff, which are Indiana, Oregon, Miami and Ole Miss. Topics include the cases for and against each team, which are: Miami has the country's best pass-rush, led by elite guys in Akheem Mesidor and Rueben Bain Jr. It has outstanding, play-making defensive backs in Keionte Scott and Bryce Fitzgerald. On offense, it has potential NFL first-round tackle Francis Mauigoa, one of the country's best receivers in Malachi Toney and a future NFL running back in Mark Fletcher, not to mention an experienced quarterback in Carson Beck. However, the Hurricanes lost to a pair of teams that are unranked in the final regular-season AP poll in SMU and Louisville, the latter at home. Indiana is the nation's only unbeaten team and perhaps the most statistically-dominant one, too. Not only did the Hoosiers have the Heisman Trophy winner in Fernando Mendoza, but they've got all-American and all-conference players at every position on the field and were strong in offense, defense and special teams. And, of course, Indiana has coach Curt Cignetti, who may be the coach most suited to win in the modern college football environment. The Hoosiers did not have a statistical weakness for the season. However, they were more mortal in spells, such as a 20-15 win at Iowa in which they had 337 yards of total offense and a 27-24 win at Penn State in which they trailed late into the fourth quarter and were out-gained, 336-326. Oregon can challenge Indiana's statistical dominance in some ways. The Ducks' yards-per-play difference of 2.5 was the same as the Hoosiers and like IU, is strong in the trenches. Oregon also has star power in quarterback Dante Moore and four all-Americans: tight end Kenyon Sadiq, offensive linemen Emanual Pregnon and Iapani Lalolu and defensive lineman Dillon Thieneman. That defense was also salty against Texas Tech, shutting out the Red Raiders in their first playoff game. However, Oregon's case for the top spot is hurt by the fact the Ducks lost 30-20 to Indiana in the regular season. Ole Miss wasn't supposed to be here under rookie coach Pete Golding. But the Rebels have buy-in and confidence, a star quarterback in Trinidad Chambliss who's gotten better as the season has progressed, a wide receiving corps that spreads teams out, a stud running back in Kewan Lacy and a defense that wasn't outstanding but was consistent. And speaking of consistency, the Rebels were held under 417 yards of offense (that was their lone loss to Georgia during the regular season). The Rebels were more consistent than dominant. They gained 6.7 yards per play and gave up 5.3. &COLLAR Use promo code SEC16 for 16% off!

Well, that didn’t take long! Three of the top four seeds in this year’s College Football Playoffs bit the dust in the quarterfinals this week. Only top-ranked Indiana (now 14-0) remains alive heading into next week’s semifinal round. We are into Year #2 of the 12-team College Football Playoffs.  Last year, all four top seeded teams lost after a bye week.  The 2024 top seed Oregon lost to eventual champion and #8 seed Ohio State.  Second seeded Georgia, #3 Boise State, and #4 Arizona State lost in the quarterfinal round, too. This year, add three more top teams to the “one and done” party. Say good-bye to #2 seed Ohio State, #3 Georgia, and #4 Texas Tech.  Those three teams all had to wait nearly a month before ESPN (oops, I mean the College Football Playoff Committee) allowed them to play their first game in this drawn-out post-season event. The top-seed Indiana Hoosiers finally figured out the secret formula on how to survive the long wait to play football again.  They blasted #9 seed Alabama 38-3 on New Year’s Day to become the only favorite remaining in this year’s College Football Playoffs. Here are a few thoughts about this week’s four College Football Playoff games Game 1 – Cotton Bowl – #10 seed Miami (FL) 24, #2 Ohio State 14 The Miami Hurricanes displayed a powerful gale force defense in blowing away 10-point favorite Ohio State Buckeyes in Wednesday night’s New Year’s Eve playoff game. The Canes jumped to a 14-0 halftime advantage and never looked back. Miami’s bruising running attack featuring senior Mark Fletcher, Jr. out-rushed the defending national champion Ohio State 153 yards to just 45.  The ability to keep the football out of the Buckeyes’ hands late in the game hindered the chances of Ohio State making a comeback. Miami will play in next Thursday’s semifinal game at the Fiesta Bowl in Phoenix. Game 2 – Orange Bowl – #5 Oregon 23, #4 Texas Tech 0 Texas Tech definitely has a first-class defensive unit!  This game’s final score should have been much, much worse for the Red Raiders if their exceptional defense had allowed a few more touchdowns in this very lopsided affair. The Oregon Ducks’ offense misfired on several opportunities but still had plenty of points to beat the worst offense (by far) we have seen in recent college football memory. Need an example? Texas Tech’s senior quarterback Behren Morton passed for just 137 yards, lost 32 yards on six carries, was intercepted twice, fumbled once, and sacked four times.  Ouch. Oregon (now 13-1) moves on to play next Friday night against top seeded Indiana in a rematch of a game won by the Hoosiers 30-20 at Eugene, Oregon in October. Game 3 – Rose Bowl – #1 Indiana 38, #9 Alabama 3 The 14-0 Hoosiers dominated this game and put on a clinic in dispatching ESPN’s favorite team, Alabama.  The pre-game banter from ESPN’s GameDay crew came across as nauseatingly in favor of the mighty Crimson Tide taking down the overrated pretenders from Indiana. As former College GameDay crew member (and Indiana football coach) Lee Corso might say, “Not so fast!” Indiana’s Heisman-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza efficiently completed 14 of 16 passes for 192 yards including three touchdowns. The balanced Hoosier running game tacked on another 215 yards and two more scores. Alabama ended its season at 11-4. Coach Kalen DeBoer and his team will face more scrutiny in the coming weeks after being chosen ahead of 10-2 Notre Dame for a playoff spot. Indiana advances into the semifinal round next Friday night in the Peach Bowl in Atlanta. Game 4 – Sugar Bowl – #6 Ole Miss 39, #3 Georgia 34 Ole Miss fans are thrilled about this post-Lane Kiffin team as it moved to 2-0 without its former coach in the post-season. Rebels quarterback Trinidad Chambliss continued to impress on New Year’s Day.  He led Ole Miss with a heroic fourth quarter rally to subdue the Georgia Bulldogs 39-34 in the biggest thriller of this season’s College Football Playoffs.  Chambliss passed for 362 yards and two touchdowns as the Rebels battled back and forth with an equally tough Georgia squad. Ole Miss is now 13-1 and will face Miami in the Fiesta Bowl next Thursday night. How did SwampSwami’s predictions about these four games fare? Not too bad!  My final story of 2025 gave my prediction for these four College Football Playoff quarterfinal games. I was 2-2 in correctly picking Indiana and Ole Miss to advance. Ohio State and Texas Tech let me down, but both deserved to go home after disappointing outings. A new champion in both the major college FBS and small college FCS will be crowned in January! Ohio State’s loss on Wednesday night insured a new champion for the large school FBS group. Likewise, North Dakota State’s loss to Illinois State in the small college FCS Playoffs insures a new champ on the lower division. The Redbirds (12-4) will face Montana State (13-2) in the FCS championship game on Monday night on ESPN at 6:30PM CST. Who is the happiest college football coach this week not participating in the College Football Playoffs? That would be former Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin. He signed a new contract to coach at LSU beginning next season.  The Ole Miss Athletics Director told Kiffin to hit the road to Baton Rouge and wouldn’t allow him to coach this year’s team in the College Football Playoffs. Lane Kiffin is definitely rooting for his former players to keep on winning. He still loves his players from this season’s Ole Miss team.  Kiffin’s new contract at LSU calls for him to be paid the same bonus money he would have earned had he been coaching this year’s Ole Miss team in the College Football Playoffs. LSU wrote a check for $150,000 to Coach Lane Kiffin after his former team at Ole Miss qualified as a participant in the College Football Playoffs. The coach then pocketed another $250,000 after Ole Miss’ first round 41-10 win over Tulane. Coach Kiffin just added another $500,000 – to be paid by LSU – after Thursday’s thrilling victory by Ole Miss over Georgia. Should Ole Miss win next week’s semifinal game against Miami, Lane Kiffin will pad his bank account with another $750,000.  A national title by the Rebels in two weeks would cost LSU another $1 million. As of today, the tab for LSU is now up to $900,000.  Two more wins by the Ole Miss Rebels would bring the total being paid by the Tigers to new coach Lane Kiffin to an obscene $2 ½ million! Let’s go ahead and try to pick the two CFP semifinal winners! Semifinal 1 – Fiesta Bowl – Thursday, January 8 – 6:30PM CST on ESPN #6 seed Ole Miss vs. #10 Miami (FL) Miami has been slaying giants during the first two rounds.  Their opening game defensive struggle at Texas A&M featured 106,000 screaming fans making life miserable for the Hurricanes’ offense.  However, Miami’s defense and running game prevailed in a 10-3 squeaker. Those same two elements (defense and a pounding running attack) carried Miami to a 24-14 victory in the quarterfinals against defending champion Ohio State on Wednesday night. Ole Miss has scored 80 points in its first two playoff games.  Miami has allowed just 17 points in its two playoff games. Something’s gotta give. If Ole Miss can put 27 or more points on the board on Thursday night, it should be enough for victory.  Get your checkbook ready again, LSU athletics department! Prediction: Ole Miss 30, Miami 24 Semifinal 2 – Peach Bowl – Friday, January 9 – 6:30PM CST on ESPN #1 seed Indiana vs. #5 Oregon This rematch will be conducted in a domed stadium in Atlanta.  Did you know that neither team has played a game in a domed indoor facility all season? Oregon’s defense surrendered 34 points to James Madison in Round 1 and then shut-out Texas Tech in the quarterfinals.  Go figure. Texas Tech played its worst offensive game in decades, though.  I don’t think Oregon is going to shut down a very balanced Indiana attack – especially on artificial turf. Oregon must find a way to score early and often and put Indiana into an early hole.  The Hoosiers’ balanced run/pass offense operates like a Mack truck to wear down opponents and has rarely been required to come from behind. I like Indiana’s unheralded but highly effective defense to take the spotlight next Friday night. Prediction: Indiana 34, Oregon 21 The post New Year = New teams and new Champions! appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

The CFP Quarterfinals are complete and the Semifinals are set! Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss the final game, and most entertaining game, of the quarterfinals that saw #6 Ole Miss take down #3 Georgia. They discuss the heroic effort of quarterback Trinidad Chambliss and how impressive the Rebels have been under new head coach Pete Golding. It is clear that Ole Miss is trying to move past the Lane Kiffin drama, but will Lane Kiffin let that happen? Ross tells us there is a chance the Ole Miss assistant coaches, who will be at LSU next year, may not be with Ole Miss for the remainder of the playoff. Is Kiffin regretting his decision to leave? Then, the guys look at who Ole Miss will be facing. #10 Miami upset #2 Ohio State and will be moving on to the semis. Andy, Ross and Godfrey look at Miami's impressive performance and their dominance in the trenches. Might they be able to win the whole thing?Then, they look at the other side of the bracket.

'Twas the night before Playoff, when all through the nation, The fans were all gathered in wild expectation. The brackets were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that a trophy soon would be there. The Sooners were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of Venables' blitzes filled heads. At eight on a Friday, the lights will shine bright, As Alabama comes knocking to settle a fight. A rematch of Week 12! The Tide seeks to fly, But Ty Simpson sees blitzers wherever he'll spy. The winner gets Indiana in the Rose Bowl's sweet glow, But the Tide's rushing game is still painfully slow. With Mateer at the helm and his hand feeling right, Oklahoma plans for a home-field delight. Then out on the Saturday, what should appear? The Aggies and Canes as the noon hour draws near. In College Station, where the 12th Man will roar, Malachi Toney looks to add to his score. He catches the screens, he's a YAC-machine king, But the Aggies' run defense is a vulnerable thing. Marcel Reed must be careful, he must keep it clean, For the Miami pass rush is exceptionally mean. The victor heads off to the Cotton Bowl's gate, Where the Ohio State Buckeyes in silence will wait. By half-past the three, in the land of the Rebs, The Tulane Green Wave tries to untangle the webs. Ole Miss has no Kiffin, he's gone to the Bayou, But Pete Golding's defense says, "We will defy you." Chambliss throws deep—it's a beautiful sight, Against a Wave secondary that's prone to a fright. Jamauri McClure brings a spark to the ground, But the Rebels' explosive plays simply abound. The Sugar Bowl beckons for the winner's next show, To face Georgia's Bulldogs, the toughest of foe. The nightcap arrives under Oregon skies, Where the Dukes of JMU hope for a prize. Alonza Barnett has a hot passing hand, But the Ducks are the giants that rule o'er the land. Dante Moore is a star, a first-round-pick dream, Leading the nation's most balanced of team. The Dukes defend edges with discipline and pride, But there's nowhere for underdogs truly to hide. The Red Raiders wait in the Orange Bowl sun, For the winner of this final first-round-play run. The coaches are leaving, the transfers are set, The highest of stakes that a program can get. I heard Max and Dalton exclaim ‘ere the flight: "Happy Playoff to all, and to all a good fight!"
