Is there a definitive best team in the NFL? Yahoo Sports' Andrew Siciliano, Charles Robinson, and Frank Schwab dive into one of the wildest weeks of the season, kicking things off with the Carolina Panthers' stunning upset over the Los Angeles Rams. They move on to question whether the Chicago Bears are finally for real. Later, the crew discusses another highly anticipated Shedeur Sanders start and Aaron Rodgers stirring the pot once again—this time calling out his teammates. To wrap it all up, the hosts examine how the Dallas Cowboys pieced together a three-game win streak, before closing with their signature segment, “One More Thing.”(6:40) - Are the Rams still the best team in the NFL?(14:15) - Bears beat Eagles on Black Friday(23:52) - What changes do the Steelers need to make?(40:20) - 49ers beat Shedeur & the Browns(48:55) - Should you be scared to play the Cowboys?(56:30) - One More Thing

It’s official!  The 12-0 Indiana Hoosiers team (football, not basketball) crushed nearly every opponent and have earned the final #1 ranking for the 2025 college football season. Other college football rating services made 12-0 Ohio State as their #1.  That’s quite understandable.  The Buckeyes are the defending national champions and have enjoyed another terrific season. However, the Buckeyes finished in second place in the SwampSwamiSports.com College Football Top 25 rankings for the 2025 regular season. My ranking system gave the edge to Indiana by virtue of the Hoosiers’ 30-20 road victory at 11-1 Oregon. By contrast, the Buckeyes’ toughest win of the season came last Saturday in Ohio State’s methodical 27-9 beatdown of 9-3 Michigan. The Big Ten has morphed into “The Big 18” teams.  That meant that Indiana and Ohio State will face a different set of conference opponents every season. Indiana handed Oregon its only loss of the season.  That’s why the Hoosiers are my #1 team as the regular season ends. Indiana and Ohio State are now the final two unbeaten FBS teams after 9-3 Texas handed Texas A&M its first loss of the season Friday night in Austin by a 27-17 final score. The Indiana Hoosiers will enjoy some unexpected home cooking this Saturday as they face the Buckeyes in the Big Ten championship game at 7PM (CST) on FOX.  Saturday’s game will be played (as always) at the home field of the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts. By this time next week, the FBS will have just one team with a perfect record heading into the College Football Playoffs. Congratulations to Indiana for being my top rated team in 2025! Why are 10-2 Alabama and 11-1 Georgia playing in the SEC Championship game instead of 11-1 Texas A&M or 11-1 Ole Miss? All four teams were 7-1 in SEC competition this season, but only two can play in Saturday’s SEC title game (3PM on ABC). Here are the SEC tiebreaker rules: A. Head-to-head competition among the tied teams. Alabama – won at Georgia 24-21 in late September.  Bama did not play either Texas A&M or Ole Miss this season.  Bama gets the nod over Georgia in a tiebreaker. Georgia – lost to Alabama 24-21.  The Bulldogs beat Ole Miss 43-35.  That win gives Georgia the advantage over Ole Miss.  The Bulldogs did not play Texas A&M this season.  Texas A&M – did not play Alabama, Georgia, or Ole Miss this year (odd, isn’t it?) Ole Miss – lost at Georgia (43-35) and did not play against Alabama or Texas A&M this season. In this first scenario, Alabama would eliminate Georgia (based on a head-to-head win) and Georgia would eliminate Ole Miss (another head-to-head win).  Texas A&M (which didn’t play any of the other three SEC teams with a 7-1 conference record this year) would still be “alive” at this point. B. Record against all common opponents among the tied teams. In the second tiebreaker scenario, Georgia beat Texas (35-10).  Texas A&M then lost to Texas 27-17 last Friday. Georgia’s win over Texas was enough to eliminate Texas A&M. How did 7-5 Duke make it into the ACC Championship game this Saturday? This year’s Atlantic Coast Conference football race was dominated early in the season by Georgia Tech and surprising Virginia.  The Yellow Jackets started 8-0 but faded by losing three of its final four games. The Virginia Cavaliers finished as the ACC’s #1 team by virtue of a 7-1 conference mark and a 10-2 overall record. This Saturday night at 7PM, the ACC Championship game features Virginia playing…7-5 Duke? Duke benefited from a weak conference schedule.  The Blue Devils’ six ACC wins came over teams with losing conference records. Duke was part of a massive five-way traffic jam for second place in the ACC at 6-2.  They were tied with 10-2 Miami (FL), 9-3 Georgia Tech, 8-4 SMU, and 8-4 Wake Forest. Somehow (I won’t try to explain this one), Duke won tiebreakers over Miami, G-Tech, SMU, and Wake Forest to emerge as the second place team. A win by Duke over Virginia on Saturday night would hand the ACC crown to the Blue Devils.  However, an 8-5 Blue Devils team would not receive an automatic invitation into the College Football Playoffs.  Other conference champions (such as the American or Sun Belt) could receive that slot in the playoff by virtue of having better season records. So, why do the Power Four Conferences (ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, and SEC) bother playing these conference championship games now? Television money, of course! This weekend’s reduced college football slate brings more TV eyeballs to the rather finite number of televised games.  That’s a bonanza for the networks (ABC/ESPN and FOX).  Their sales staff is busy selling prime advertising slots to a male-dominated audience of shoppers during the crucial Christmas merchandising season. Believe it or not, the SEC is paid about $470 million for its entire slate of games televised by ABC and ESPN for this season.  That doesn’t count extra money from the College Football Playoffs. The “Bank of SEC” takes in about $31 million per week over a 15-week season (12 regular season games over a 14-week span plus this weekend’s championship game). An incremental $31 million payday for this weekend’s SEC Championship game is why we are being forced to wait another week prior to the beginning of the College Football Playoffs. A special consolation note to U-Mass Minuteman football fans The University of Massachusetts (U-Mass) joined the Mid-American Conference beginning July 1, 2025. After November 29, 2025’s final weekend of college football games, U-Mass is still searching for its first Mid-American Conference football victory.  They didn’t win a single game this season! The Minutemen even lost (at home) to FCS member Bryant University 27-26 in September. U-Mass lost its home finale on Saturday to 4-8 Bowling Green 45-14 as the only FBS team in America to finish 0-12. First-year coach Joe Harasmyiak said after the team’s final loss, “The record is the record.  It’s crappy.  It’s not acceptable.” Indeed!  There’s only one way to go next season, right?!!! Hey, Swami!  Aren’t you going to discuss the Lane Kiffin situation today? Come back on Tuesday for that.  Here’s a teaser to think about today. Why did Tulane and North Texas allow their current coaches (who are leaving for Florida and Oklahoma State respectively) to keep leading their current teams until season’s end, but the Ole Miss Athletic Director did not? Let’s reveal the FINAL SwampSwamiSports.com FBS College Football Top 25 rankings for the week ending November 29, 2025: The post Indiana Hoosiers Earn SwampSwami’s 2025 Top Spot! appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

StormHarvester has been announced as the fastest growing technology company in this year's Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Awards at a ceremony in the Mansion House in Dublin this evening. StormHarvester uses its advanced anomaly detection system to analyse data from thousands of sensors to help wastewater utilities predict and prevent issues like flooding and pollution. The Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Awards, now in its 26th year, is one of Ireland's foremost technology award programmes. It is a ranking of the country's 50 fastest-growing technology companies based on revenue growth over a four-year period. Previous winners include Wayflyer and Swoop. Reacting to the win, Brian Moloney, founder and CEO of StormHarvester, said: "Achieving the top spot in Deloitte's Fast 50 ranking is a really special moment for all the team at StormHarvester. What started as an idea over ten years ago in Australia for a solution that would reduce the impact of flooding has grown into a proud Belfast-based business that is going from strength to strength. In the last year alone, our funding has enabled us to double our headcount, which will help us fuel our expansion further and create even more exciting opportunities in Ireland. "The Deloitte Fast 50 Awards recognition is a chance to pause, reflect and celebrate all that we have achieved and all that we plan to achieve in the years ahead." Cumulatively, the Deloitte 2025 Technology Fast 50 winners generated €1.76 billion in total annual revenues. The average growth rate of the companies was 442%. The 50 companies employ over 7,500 people and 12 of the ranked companies were first time winners. Announcing the winners of the programme, James Toomey, partner and Fast 50 lead, Deloitte Ireland said: "For 26 years, the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Awards have been a benchmark for Ireland's most ambitious tech entrepreneurs. The combined €1.76 billion in revenues generated by these 50 indigenous companies is a powerful symbol of the exceptional talent and innovative thinkers we have in Ireland. Despite a challenging external environment, Fast 50 companies are still growing, which is a real signal of confidence. "A standout from this year's awards is that companies with Artificial Intelligence (AI) embedded in their operations are seeing the biggest growth, but access to skilled employees who can prompt and deploy AI effectively will be crucial. "The Deloitte Technology Fast 50 is a rigorous, data-driven ranking that provides a trusted measure of success and growth. Congratulations to all the companies that ranked; your grit, resilience and creativity are truly inspiring. I would like to extend a special congratulations to StormHarvester for securing the top spot in this year's rankings." In addition to announcing the ranking of the Fast 50 companies, the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Awards included several award categories. Protex AI, which uses AI to enhance workplace safety and operational efficiencies, won the Rising Star Award in association with Enterprise Ireland, having demonstrated a promising growth trajectory and the potential for inclusion in the Fast 50 rankings in years to come. Receiving the award, Dan Hobbs, co-founder and CEO of Protex AI, said: "Since founding Protex AI, our mission has been to enable organisations to use data-driven insights to drive safer workplaces and unlock meaningful operational efficiencies. The growth of our team and client base has made achievements like this possible, and we are thrilled to celebrate receiving the Deloitte Fast 50 Rising Star Award and to meet the incredible tech entrepreneurs in the rankings." The winners of the awards this year were: Award Winner Growing new technology in association with Google This award recognises a company that has created or introduced a new or innovative product or service to international markets, which helped grow their business over the last four years.

Who does He Think He Is? The Preeminence of God Pastor Tim Lien has three points in today's sermon: 1. What HE made us for 2. Defaulted disorder and a manufactory of Idols 3. Ultimate disordering that Heals The scriptures for this sermon are Romans 1: 18-24 Big Idea: The preeminence of God is attached to what we worship. We worship anything we think is the highest good/power/meaning/security/beauty. We can't help it. We are worshipping beings. Without food, we eat poison. We will disorder our loves/beauties, often trying to get God to go along with our disordering and then get mad at Him when he doesn't serve/give us the things we have put to displace them. Often good, good, things are used to things we “make” to replace Him at the top. These are essentially idols.

Major developments emerge in cryptos. While some anticipate Dogecoin reaching unprecedented values, another low-cost token creates substantial excitement and could disrupt the market. Experts monitor both tokens closely. The competition for leadership intensifies, generating significant discussion among traders and enthusiasts alike. Dogecoin (DOGE) Source: TradingView Dogecoin now trades inside a narrow band of $0.2011-$0.2304. The coin lost 3.17% over the last 7 days, trimming the recent rally. Price hugs the 10-day average at $0.215. A momentum reading above 80 hints that buyers are still active, yet the mood is cautious near the top of the range. Over the past month, DOGE is up 8.61%, and the 6-month score shows a 12.27% climb. The move lifted the price above the 100-day average at $0.2147, turning that area into fresh support. Each dip toward $0.1889 has drawn buyers, keeping mid-term sentiment upbeat. If demand pushes price beyond $0.2304, the next ceiling sits at $0.2475. A clear break could add about 12% and target $0.2768, roughly 20% higher. Failure to crack resistance may drag DOGE back to $0.1889, a 10% slip. A deeper fall toward $0.1596 would erase the 6-month gain, but the current data still favours a slow grind higher while momentum stays firm. $XYZ Unlocks the G.O.A.T. Status, Early Investors Positioned for Massive ROI XYZVerse ($XYZ) has brought a brand-new concept to the memecoin niche by blending the excitement of sports with the fast-moving energy of crypto. Designed for hardcore fans of football, basketball, MMA, and esports, this project goes beyond just being another token - it's a growing community built around passion for the game. With the bold Greatest of All Time (G.O.A.T.) vision, XYZVerse is aiming higher than the average meme coin. And people are taking notice - it has recently earned the title of Best New Meme Project. What sets $XYZ apart? It's not a short-lived trend. This project has a clear roadmap and a dedicated community focused on long-term growth. Fueled by the sports mentality, the $XYZ token has emerged as the ultimate contender ready to crush competitors. $XYZ is on its way to the winner's podium to become a badge of honour for those who live and breathe sports and crypto. $XYZ Already Delivers Even Before Hitting the Market The $XYZ presale is underway, providing access to the token at a special pre-listing price. Launch Price: $0.0001 Price Now: $0.005 Next Stage: $0.01 Final Presale Price: $0.02 Following the presale, the $XYZ token will be listed on major centralised and decentralised exchanges, with a target listing price of $0.10. If the project raises enough capital to support this valuation, early investors could see returns of up to 1,000x on their presale entries. So far, over $15 million has been invested, reflecting strong market interest. Notably, securing tokens at a lower presale price offers the potential for higher ROI upon launch. Demand for $XYZ is surging, driving rapid progress in the presale. Early buyers secure the lowest prices, maximising their potential returns. Join $XYZ Presale Now and See Your Pennies Grow Into Millions! Conclusion DOGE holds strong potential amid the 2025 surge; yet, the first all-sport memecoin XYZVerse (XYZ) targets 20,000% growth, blending meme hype with sports fandom for a fresh market lead.

On this episode of the Three-Inning Save podcast, we recap the Dodgers very up and down (down and up???) week, in which they were swept by the middling Angels to fall out of first place, then swept the Padres to get back on top in the division. Also, Will Smith kept throwing out Padres runners, Max Muncy injured his oblique, and Buddy Kennedy is the 2,000th player in Dodgers history. The Three-Inning Save is part of the Fans First Sports Network. Hosted by Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch, with questions from Craig Minami. Produced by Brian Salvatore.

The Padres haven't been in first place this late in the season in 15 years! They pummeled Bob Melvin's old club to reach the top spot in the NL West. Now first place will truly be on the line this weekend at Dodger Stadium. Mike Shildt's club has that second half look again. Pitching has been lights out and everyone in the lineup is doing damage. Derek and Darnay size up the division rivals, and how different they look heading into this series compared to what we saw earlier in the year. Is Dave Roberts gonna try to stir something up again? What Padres do we expect to stand out? Can Derek guess the 2010 lineup from the last time San Diego was alone in first at this point? And Thursday brought bad news for one scheduled starter.

Arch Manning has to prove himself, but Texas comes in at #1 on the preseason AP Poll. Brevin Jordan goes down with an injury during practice and it appears to be real bad based off the way DeMeco Ryans spoke about it. But should we be giving Brevin thoughts AND prayers?? And stay tuned until the end, the show wraps up with "News of the Weird."

Today, we're stacking every draft class from worst to first. We start at the bottom, where a few front offices clearly missed the mark, and work our way up through some c onfusing hauls. As we climb the list, things get a little more interesting — teams that didn't crush it, but might've found a sleeper or two if things break their way. Around the halfway mark, we start seeing real upside: smart swings, strong fits, and the kind of draft classes that could quietly set up a playoff push. Then it's into the top tier — draft classes loaded with difference-makers, blue-chip talents, and bold moves that could change the direction of entire franchises. And finally, we'll reveal the three best draft classes of the year — the ones that crushed it from top to bottom and could define the league for years to come.

A Note from James: So we have a brand new president of the United States, and of course, everyone has their opinion about whether President Trump has been good or bad, will be good and bad. Everyone has their opinion about Biden, Obama, and so on. But what makes someone a good president? What makes someone a bad president? Obviously, we want our presidents to be moral and ethical, and we want them to be as transparent as possible with the citizens. Sometimes they can't be totally transparent—negotiations, economic policies, and so on. But we want our presidents to have courage without taking too many risks. And, of course, we want the country to grow economically, though that doesn't always happen because of one person. I saw this list where historians ranked all the presidents from 1 to 47. I want to comment on it and share my take on who I think are the best and worst presidents. Some of my picks might surprise you. Episode Description: In this episode, James breaks down the rankings of U.S. presidents and offers his unique perspective on who truly deserves a spot in the top 10—and who doesn't. Looking beyond the conventional wisdom of historians, he examines the impact of leadership styles, key decisions, and constitutional powers to determine which presidents left a lasting, positive impact. From Abraham Lincoln's crisis leadership to the underappreciated successes of James K. Polk and Calvin Coolidge, James challenges popular rankings and provides insights you won't hear elsewhere. What You'll Learn: The key qualities that define a great president beyond just popularity. Why Abraham Lincoln is widely regarded as the best president—and whether James agrees. How Franklin D. Roosevelt's policies might have extended the Great Depression. The surprising president who expanded the U.S. more than anyone else. Why Woodrow Wilson might actually be one of the worst presidents in history. Timestamped Chapters: [01:30] What makes a great president? [02:29] The official duties of the presidency.
