| | | | How Magic hurt themselves in loss at star-studded Suns | Jaguars blank Carolina on day of dismay for Buccaneers, Dolphins | 3 things learned from FSU's loss to Georgia in Orange Bowl | | | | Although Paolo Banchero (28 points) and Franz Wagner (27) combined for 55 against the Suns, the Magic fell short at Phoenix on Sunday night. | | | | | Miami was victimized by South Florida product and NFL MVP favorite Lamar Jackson, blowing its chance to leapfrog Baltimore for the No. 1 seed. | | | | | Take your pick of what told Sunday's story the most. The defense watching Lamar Jackson win the MVP award. Tua throwing two INTs. Or Bradley Chubb getting seriously hurt with in the meaningless final minutes. | | | | | Tampa Bay, which yielded four turnovers on Sunday, still can clinch division title with victory at Carolina next week. | | | | | The Jaguars (9-7) won for the first time in December — and with quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) watching from the sideline — to set up a finale at rival Tennessee that will help decide the AFC South. | | | | | Iowa Coach Kirk Ferentz on college football chaos: "It really seems like, in my opinion, I am going back over a decade, seems like the five Power-5 commissioners need to get in a room and visit. Maybe throw a couple athletic directors and coaches in there as well, just to get some specific feedback, that type of deal," Ferentz said. "Just have a summit and really basically blow everything up and try to start over again and maybe come up with a little better model." | | | | | From Rock Island, Ill., Gavin has a special bond with four of the Iowa players: linebacker/special teams player Jayden Montgomery, back-up receiver Jacob Bostick, starting defensive tackle Yayah Black and back-up quarterback Marco Lainez. | | | | | FSU (13-1, 8-0 ACC) was a shell of itself with nearly 30 players choosing to opt out of the game, choosing to either transfer or to prepare for the upcoming NFL combine and subsequent draft. Many of those might have played if the Seminoles had qualified for the College Football Playoff as expected, but after being snubbed those intentions changed. | | | | | "We were mad. We were all in the group chat and everybody talking and everybody having their own opinion," FSU recruit Kam Davis on he and his future teammates' reactions to FSU's snub from the College Football Playoffs. | | | | | After being on the short end of a bizarre goal that put them down 2-0, the Lightning rallied to wrap up a pivotal stretch with a win. | | | |
