Now imagine a playoff with 10 automatic bids & 14 at-large teams. That's how the NCAA D1/FCS playoff is set up. And it's so, so much better.
Your final 2025 College Football Playoff bracket:

Next time we see F1, it'll feature the new spec cars, Cadillac (with Ferrari engines), Audi, Red Bull/Ford engines, Honda-powered Aston Martins, Mercedes-powered Alpines, and, finally, a sense of mystery to start the season.

The NCAA's 24-team Division 1 (FCS) football playoff is the perfect size. The first two rounds this year have shown that to be true, again. #ChampionshipsNotBowls

Lando Norris did it, huh? Good for him. Not many become an F1 champ. Especially one that signifies the end of an era.

Duke's first outright ACC football title since 1962 (they shared the title in 1989). Wow.

The power in MLS West has shifted back to Cascadia. The Vancouver Whitecaps are in the MLS Cup final for the first time. Nice!

Torrent & Kraken both shut out at home in the last two days. That's not good.

Maybe next time, the Torrent shouldn't have the defending champs for the home opener. Minnesota looks really tough again.

SEATTLE SHOWED UP! 🤩

Today's home opener sets the record for the largest attendance for a women's hockey game in a US arena AND the highest attended home venue game in PWHL history!

One thing playing in San Diego State's favor in this is that Petco Park has a larger capacity than Snapdragon Stadium.
Some actual news in here, or at least some newsy items for a national audience:

🌱 New surface being installed at Snapdragon this week
🏈 SDSU football will move to Petco Park if both they and SDFC reach their respective finals (MWC champo, MLS Cup)

I heard there was a Cohen song,

And all the Christians got it wrong,

But you don’t really get the meaning do ya?

‘Cause you see its about getting laid,

It’s sex, and love, and Jewish faith,

But all the gentiles heard was “hallelujah!”

A big reason why BC, WA & OR are starting the process for high speed rail from Vancouver through Seattle to at least Portland (Eugene later?). The demand is there.
the fact that amtrak cascades hit another ridership record in FY25 despite shutting down for two weeks and spending half the year running smaller trains with higher prices bc of the horizon recall is another sign that the demand for rail in the pnw is genuinely insatiable

Oscar Fisker Mølgaard welcome to the show making his NHL debut for the #SeaKraken!

Per KHN, his parents made a mad scramble driving to Copehnhagen, then were delayed in London, then delayed in Chicago and got to the arena about 10 minutes before warmups -- just in time to see his rookie lap. 🥹

Not the usual suspects from CONCACAF going to the World Cup. Panama. Haiti. Curaçao. Jamaica in the FIFA playoff with Suriname. No Costa Rica, no Honduras. Wow.
