The TV channel for the Georgia-Oklahoma game will be determined after Week 3 games are played on Sept. 19. The other game that could be aired at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC or ESPN is the Ole Miss versus Florida game.
The Texas A&M Aggies' road trip to play the LSU Tigers instead earned the primetime slot on ABC at 7:30 p.m. ET. LSU is going to play in a ton of primetime games this season with a large portion of college football's media heavily focusing attention on head coach Lane Kiffin.
Georgia is 2-0 to start the season with dominant wins over inferior opponents. Oklahoma is 1-1 and lost their recent road game at the Michigan Wolverines 17-10. Georgia opens its SEC slate in Week 3 at Arkansas while Oklahoma plays New Mexico at home.

Youngstown State led 49-10 at halftime.

Regular readers know that I've followed one of the great Cy Young horse races in recent memory, with Cam Schlittler going great start-for-great start with the Blue Jays' Dylan Cease. We got a little bit of separation this week, as the Athletics touched up Cease for four runs in five innings on Monday, and then Schlittler allowed just a solo shot in seven frames against the Rockies on Tuesday. Cam has crept just ahead by fWAR, enjoys a considerable lead in bWAR, and right now I think would end up at the top of most voters' ballots.
But something struck me in the aftermath of Cam's night against Colorado, the same night that Aaron Judge returned to the lineup. Cam Schlittler isn't just the Cy Young favorite, but he's built himself an MVP case. No pitcher has won the award since Clayton Kershaw for the 2014 Dodgers, and the last AL winner was 2011 Justin Verlander. Yordan Alvarez is in the hunt for the first Triple Crown since Miguel Cabrera, Bobby Witt Jr. is probably the best overall player in the league, and if Junior Caminero tops the AL in home runs and plays on the Junior Circuit's best team, he probably gets his share of votes too.
And yet here's the thing: Cam stacks up fairly against all three of them!
Let's take Yordan, who I think has the inside track on the award right now. Schlittler's 0.1 fWAR back, a difference that is literally negligible, and more than three-quarters of a win better by bWAR. Alvarez's candidacy is based around the Triple Crown, probably being the best hitter in baseball, and dragging what we thought was a finally-deflated Houston Astros team to a division ****** le. ****** py AL West or not, that is exactly the blueprint for an MVP, if one for a slightly older voter.
Should Alvarez not win the Triple Crown, he loses a bit of his case, though he's likely still the best hitter in the game on a division winner, one who will have played in the neighborhood of 155 games. That's the big thing both undercutting Witt's MVP claim while bolstering his position as best all-around player — the Kansas City shortstop has only played 128 games at time of writing, yet leads the league in fWAR and bWAR among position players. With a solid-but-not-spectacular 18 homers and 124 wRC+, the parts of his game beyond hitting are doing the heavy lifting there as well. All that and the fact that the Royals are so bad work against him when it comes to end of season awards though, and Bobby seems cursed to be the Dave Stieb of shortstops.

Rennes and Sevilla maintained their promising starts in Ligue 1 and La Liga, Fiorentina got its first win in Serie A, and Schalke beat Union Berlin 3-1 in a Bundesliga match where the referee was replaced on Friday.
Both teams had just one point after their first two Bundesliga matches but newly promoted Schalke went home happiest thanks in part to a fine goalkeeping display from player of the match Loris Karius.
Robin Gosens opened the scoring for Schalke with an angled volley and Aouchiche doubled their lead moments after the break with a superbly taken strike.
Karius held Berlin at bay for much of the second period and though he could not stop Tim Skarke from scoring in the sixth minute of added time, Maximilian Wober restored Schalke's two-goal lead with almost the last kick of the game.
The match was notable for the substitution of referee Timo Gerach early in the second half. Gerach complained of a sore calf and was replaced by fourth official Jarno Wienefeld, an experienced Bundesliga 2 referee who took charge of his first top tier game.

RB Leipzig suffered a 4-1 defeat away to Como 1907 in their opening Champions League game on 10th September 2026.
Como begin on the front foot, pressing high and putting our boys under pressure from the outset. The first chances fell to Cesc Fàbregas' side.
Maarten Vandevoordt produced a fine save to deny Anastasios Douvikas in the 13th minute, but the goalkeeper was beaten two minutes later. Martin Baturina was able to get a shot away from close range inside the penalty area and found the back of the net to put Como 1-0 ahead (15').
RBL almost responded immediately. Straight from the restart, Antonio Nusa found himself one-on-one with Como goalkeeper Jean Butez after getting on the end of a long ball, but his finish was too central and Butez made the save (16').
Leipzig then began to create more opportunities. Andrija Maksimović and Marc Guiu, who were both making their first starts for the club, went close in quick succession. Butez first made an excellent save to keep out Maksimović's curling effort, before Guiu sent a promising header wide just seconds later (36').

NEW YORK, Sept 5 (Reuters) - From podiums to practice courts and player lounges, dogs have become some of tennis's most popular support acts, increasingly earning places in the travelling party and popping up at the sport's biggest stages.
For players who spend most of the year in airports, hotels and tournament venues often thousands of miles from home, pets have become common travelling companions, offering comfort and stability in a sport where loneliness is a major challenge.
"Animals are amazing... that's why a lot of the girls are travelling with more pets now, because of how tough the life is on the road," world number three Jessica Pegula told reporters at the U.S. Open this week.
"To have something that grounds you, as simple as having a dog or any type of animal... you don't experience that type of love from anybody else. They love you unconditionally and that can just really help emotionally."

Since Sophie Cunningham spoke out against transgender women competing in women's sports in an ESPN profile in late July, the Indiana Fever forward has been everywhere.
The media flocked to her with follow-up questions and pushback. A rival coach confronted her during a nationally televised game. In countless cable news segments, social media posts, and podcast clips, Cunningham's words have been chewed over and debated. Her personal social media profiles draw millions of views.
Yet during the entire news cycle, Cunningham has been conspicuously absent from her own podcast, Show Me Something. No new episodes of the show have been published since July 21.
The podcast, produced and distributed by The Volume, was launched as a destination for the outspoken veteran's musings on the WNBA and her very closely watched Indiana Fever team. Early on, Cunningham used the platform to defend her teammate, Caitlin Clark, and dispute controversial foul calls and league decisions.
Shortly after Cunningham's initial comments about transgender athletes in a Rolling Stone interview, her co-host, West Wilson, posted a TikTok that directly contradicted Cunningham's perspective. The reality television star, with whom Cunningham grew up in Missouri, called transgender women's participation in sports "a borderline nonexistent issue" that right-wing commentators amplify. Wilson added that discourse about transgender athletes further isolates transgender people and distracts Americans from "actual harmful sh*t" such as the cost of living.

Georgia football has adjusted to Xzavier McLeod leaving the program for weeks, coach Kirby Smart said, because the defensive lineman only practiced a couple of times this preseason.
Smart revealed that timeline on Wednesday Sept. 2 ahead of the Bulldogs season opener on Saturday against Tennessee State.
He said McLeod made the decision to stop playing football.
"Xzavier hasn't been with us since the second practice," Smart said. "All the news of Xzavier, everybody's acting like it's something newly released or something. I think he practiced once or twice because he decided to give it up. He just didn't want to play football anymore. Certainly respect that."
McLeod will graduate after this semester, Smart said.

AEW All In 2026 delivered as one of the year's best professional wrestling events this past Sunday in London. On the grand stage of the world-famous Wembley Stadium, one of the annual spectacle's biggest moments was the debut of Kofi and Austin Creed — now known as The New Level after spending years in WWE as Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods of The New Day.
The legendary duo wasn't advertised for the pay-per-view event, but instead made their arrival as a surprise entrant in the promotion's first-ever Trios Roulette Royal match for the AEW Trios Championships. Alongside Swerve Strickland, Kofi and Creed pulled off the win to become the new champions on only their first night on the job.
Kofi and Creed parted ways with WWE in a shocking development in May after a 12-year run teaming together, in addition to teaming with Big E. While Big E remained with the company as a retired wrestler-turned-analyst, Kofi and Creed were asked to take significant pay cuts when it came time to negotiate their contracts.
Speaking on Monday's edition of "The Ariel Helwani Show," they revealed that they only officially signed with AEW a day before All In. Regarding their WWE departure, the reported 50% pay-cut ask was incorrect: it was higher, according to Kofi.
"We just thought the terms that they wanted us to perform under were not fair based on what we brought to the table, based on what we're worth, based on the knowledge and prowess we have as performers and wrestlers," Kofi told Uncrowned. "What we can give back to the younger people and do in entertainment. Being able to go out there and garner a reaction as good guys or bad guys, no matter the situation. We took a lot of great pride in being Swiss Army knives. Whatever the situation was, we would make it great and make it entertaining. Compensation was definitely a big part, for sure, but more so, we wanted to work.

BEREA ― No one called Taylen Green on roster cutdown day. At least, no one from the Browns called the rookie quarterback.
So, that's clearly good news, right?
"It's my first time," Green said Aug. 31, "so I don't know. I hope that's good news."
Subscribe to Browns Insider newsletter
The fact Green was talking a day after the league's deadline to get to the initial 53-man limit should answer that question. However, as the day was going on, it wasn't as certain to the sixth-round draft pick as is it ultimately ended up being.

The Tennessee ******* ans will have one of the NFL's best positions in the waiver wire pecking order when the league's final roster cuts are finalized.
Tennessee reduced its roster to the league-mandated maximum of 53 players, and now the real fun will begin. Players who are subject to waivers as part of those final roster reductions will then be available for other teams to claim, with the claiming period expiring at 1:00 p.m. ET on Monday, August 31.
The ******* ans enter the process with the No. 4 waiver priority, allowing general manager Mike Borgonzi and the team's personnel department to add young talent released by other teams before most of the league gets a chance to do so. In looking at the initial 53-man roster, cornerback, edge, and offensive line could be areas to monitor.
The initial waiver order is based on the 2026 NFL draft order and will remain in effect through the first three weeks of the regular season. Beginning September 29, after the third regular-season weekend, waiver priority will be determined by the current standings, with strength of schedule and additional tiebreakers used when necessary.

Juventus is open to Nicolas Gonzalez leaving in the final days of this transfer window, but the Bianconeri will not send him out on loan again this summer.
The Argentinian spent last season on loan at Atletico Madrid and performed well for the Spanish club, who continue to show interest in his signature.
However, Atletico have not met Juve's asking price for his signature, and that could see them struggle to land him during an important transfer window.
The attacker hopes the clubs can find an agreement, and the Bianconeri will be happy to keep him if he does not leave the club during this window.
One achievable solution would be for Gonzalez to leave the club on loan again this summer, but Juve has now blocked that from happening.

The Union took the lead in the 21st minute on Milan Iloski's career-high 11th goal. Indiana Vassilev and Danley Jean Jacques both picked up their first two ****** ists of the season on the first two goals.
Teenager Neil Pierre scored in the 65th minute for a 3-0 advantage. It was the fourth goal in seven appearances for the 18-year-old rookie midfielder. Bruno Damiani and Iloski had ****** ists.
The Red Bulls avoided a shutout in the 74th minute when Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting netted his third goal of the season after scoring 17 times as a rookie last year.

Billionaire tech investor Vinod Khosla has been named the Seattle Seahawks' new owner behind a massive $9.6 billion sale on August 26th. Yesterday, Khosla, alongside his family, gave his very first press conference; it's fair to say it was an unforgettable introduction to the new owner.
The Seahawks are coming off a triumphant Super Bowl championship last year and look to maintain momentum by introducing their new owner to Seahawks fans. Rather, Khosla gave a perfect example of "what not to do during your opening press conference as the new Seahawks owner," Barstool Sports posted on X.
"I also happened to come to this country in '76 when the Steelers were winning the Super Bowl, so actually I was originally and still am a big Steelers fan. Also, little-known fact, but I still watch all the Steelers games too," Khosla cheerfully said.
Barstool Sports personality Hubbs commented on the matter sarcastically.
"Jack Bauer couldn't have gotten that information out of me if he had a gun pointed at my knee and was threatening my family's safety. Just no need at all to put that out there. Now, is it earth-shattering and detrimental that the Seahawks owner is a big Steelers fan? No, not really. It'd be worse if the Seahawks hadn't won a Super Bowl since losing to Pittsburgh in 2006, but thankfully for them, they have," Hubbs wrote for Barstool Sports.

New England Patriots rookies' jerseys will have a special addition on them when they take the field for the first time this season.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, beginning this season, the NFL's rookies will wear Topps' Debut Patches on their jerseys in their respective debuts, before the patches are placed in one-of-one trading cards after their first games conclude.
Topps returned to the NFL during the spring, as their parent company Fanatics, as well as the NFL and NFLPA, came together to make the famous brand the league's official trading card licensee. The Debut Patch commemorates the brand's return to the league.
The Patriots have several rookies generating much anticipation ahead of the season, including Gabe Jacas and Caleb Lomu, who will get to help Topps put themselves back on the NFL map on the biggest stage. They, along with the rest of New England's first-year players, will get the chance to wear the patches in their first game action in the upcoming 17-game slate.

The Miami Dolphins host the New York Giants on Saturday as the second week of the NFL's 2026 Preseason continues. Last week, the Washington Commanders dominated the Dolphins for most of the game. Will they have any better results against a second-straight NFC East team?
The Dolphins and Giants held a joint practice on Thursday, and it was an ugly workout for Miami. New York took it to the Dolphins, especially with their pass rush, and the Dolphins struggled to work out of it. Will today's game be more of the same, or will Miami respond to the adversity?
Here is everything you need to know to watch tonight's game:
4 p.m. Eastern Time, Saturday, August 22

A pair of Washington Huskies icons made their way back to Montlake this week, as Jermaine Kearse and Myles Gaskin stopped by fall camp to check out the 2026 edition of Jedd Fisch's program.
Kearse spent Tuesday morning at his old stomping grounds, looking on at the current generation of Husky pass catchers. The Lakewood, Washington native played his college ball for his hometown team from 2008-2011, where he finished his career No. 2 in program history in career receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns.
Following his illustrious college career, Kearse signed with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent, where he played for five of his seven years in the NFL and helped bring his hometown team its first Super Bowl in franchise history.
From playing his high school ball 45 minutes south of Seattle, to becoming one of the greatest receivers to don the purple and gold, to bringing home a Super Bowl to his home state, Kearse is regarded as a local legend in the Seattle community, and rightfully so.
The following day, running back Myles Gaskin paid a visit to fall camp. The Huskies' all-time leading rusher posed for a picture with Jedd Fisch following Wednesday's practice. In his four years in Seattle, Gaskin put himself in the conversation as the greatest Husky running back of all time, rushing for over 1,000 yards in all four seasons while helping Washington make the College Football Playoff in 2016.

Mercedes' George Russell took his first pole position for four races in qualifying for the sprint race at the Dutch Grand Prix.
The Briton, trailing Mercedes team-mate Kimi Antonelli by 59 points in the championship, was 0.041 seconds quicker than McLaren's Lando Norris in second.
Antonelli could manage only fifth, behind Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and the second McLaren of Oscar Piastri.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen was sixth, ahead of Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton, who is second in the championship, 50 points behind Antonelli.
Russell's pole was the perfect start to the second part of the season for him, having lost ground to Antonelli in the three races before the summer break after his victory in Austria at the end of June.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) — As the Browns' clumsy starting quarterback competition winds down, they got an up-close view at what a franchise QB looks like.
Josh Allen reminded them what's missing.
Despite not having two of his top wide receivers due to injuries, Buffalo's star QB showed typical poise and precision while working against Cleveland's solid defense as the Bills and Browns held a joint practice Thursday in advance of their weekend exhibition.
Allen connected with tight end Dalton Kincaid for a long touchdown and the Bills, one of the AFC's preseason Super Bowl favorites, made more big plays than the Browns, who are nearing a decision on who will be their No. 1 QB.
"It was good to see guys step up, go out there and make some plays," Allen said in ***** sing the session, which included plenty of trash talk but no fights. "The tight ends had a really good day. I didn't get to see a lot of the defense, but it seemed like we were flying around, having a lot of energy.

We asked for your views after Celtic took a firm grip of their Champions League play-off with a 3-0 first-leg win over LASK at Parkhead.
Here are some of your comments:
Gavin: Superb going forward, solid in midfield but far too open at the back. We need more back-up and we will need to score in the away game. Overall they are a new team starting to knit together.
Brandon: Easily one of the best European nights in a while at Celtic Park, what an atmosphere!
Gordy: Fantastic performance and result, still a bit lax in defence at times but we are starting to build an exciting team. Camilo Duran stole the show with his goals and display, but the performance of Kasper Hogh was vital as he was the link from defence to attack and kept both centre-halves busy all night. Hopefully get the job done next week and then a few more signings, magnificent European night.

ANDREWS, Texas (KMID/KPEJ) - A new era is underway for the Andrews Mustangs as Jason Richters takes over as head coach for the 2026 season.
Richters enters his first season as head coach after spending 11 years at Andrews, including time as the team's defensive coordinator. His familiarity with the players has helped make the transition a smooth one.
"That was a seamless transition, really, because I've been around them, all of them, the whole time I've been here, from junior high up until now," Richters said.
The Mustangs will also have a different look offensively. Andrews is moving to a power-spread system designed to create more opportunities in the passing game while still maintaining a physical, run-first identity.

Aston Villa pick up talks for Bayern Munich midfielder originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Just a few days away from the start of the Premier League campaign, Aston Villa are still searching the transfer market to help bolster their squad, after two of their bigger-name players departed earlier in the Summer. One of their key forwards, Morgan Rogers, left Villa Park for a move to Stamford Bridge, with that deal being worth £117 million.
The second departure would be that of Youri Tielemans, who made his way to Manchester United for a fee that left some people scratching their heads: £35 million, but it's worth noting that the fee was accepted in compliance with a release clause in the Belgian's contract. Tielemans leaving the West Midlands club has left Unai Emery with a bit of a hole in his midfield depth, but it appears that they've started to look towards Germany once again for Bayern Munich's Joao Palhinha.
As reported by The Athletic's Jacob Tanswell, Aston Villa have opted to resume negotiations with the German champions over the Portuguese midfielder, as they ideally are looking for a loan with an option to buy at the end of the term.
"Aston Villa have resumed talks to sign Joao Palhinha from Bayern Munich. Villa still believe they can finalise an agreement for the midfielder, despite interest from Newcastle United, seeking a season-long loan with an option," writes Tanswell.

The Cincinnati Bengals have now completed the bulk of training camp, as well as their first preseason game, which has given us plenty of opportunities to see the 2026 rookie class in action.
Overall, it's been a good showing for the news kids on the block, including several game-changing plays made in the 16-14 preseason win over the Detroit Lions.
Seventh-round tight end Jack Endries scored his first NFL touchdown while catching a game-high-tying three passes for 25 yards. He even earned a game-high 91.4 Pro Football Focus grade.
Second-round edge Cashius Howell didn't make quite as much noise as he did in camp, though he still managed to get one QB hurry and recovered a fumble in a game decided by just two points.
Seventh-round defensive tackle Landon Robinson managed to pick up his first NFL sack to go with another QB hit.
