🌇 Mid Afternoon slate recap

Several teams vying for a College Football Playoff selection capped off their regular season resumes with wins to keep the playoff pool as competitive as it has been. 

No. 6 Oregon 26, Washington 14

No. 6 Oregon closed its regular season with a statement, grinding out a 26–14 road win over Washington to lock in its position as a College Football Playoff contender. In a heated showdown, the Ducks leaned on explosive plays, steady special teams and a relentless defensive front to silence the Huskies.

With injuries in the wide out position, wide receiver Malik Benson delivered the best performance of his Oregon career eclipsing 100 yards for the first time and sparked the Ducks with a 64-yard catch-and-run touchdown from quarterback Dante Moore, who finished 20-of-29 for 286 yards despite stretches of inconsistency. Jeremiah McClellan added 78 yards, including a spectacular one-handed grab in the third quarter that was wiped out by penalty.
Kicker Atticus Sappington drilled in four field goals — including a career-long 51-yarder — and accounting for nearly half of Oregon’s points.

On defense, linebacker Teitum Tuioti dominated with 1.5 sacks, multiple tackles for loss and a pass breakup, setting the tone for a group that forced two late interceptions. Jadon Canady bounced back from an unsportsmanlike penalty with a pick, and Dillon Thieneman sealed the win with another interception inside the Oregon 20.
Oregon now heads into the postseason firmly in the Playoff hunt.

No. 8 Oklahoma 17, LSU 13 

LSU’s first-ever trip to Norman ended was physical and at times looked poised to end Oklahoma’s CFP hopes. Interim coach Frank Wilson turned to redshirt freshman quarterback Michael Van Buren with Garrett Nussmeier out and he showed flashes, but ultimately came up short.

Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer had a rocky game, at times looking like the best player on the field and other times looking like the worst. Mateer threw for 318 yards, two touchdowns, but three interceptions. 

The game was tied 3-3 at the half, before LSU came out with a touchdown to take the lead. Oklahoma returned the favor with a 45-yard touchdown pass from Mateer to Deion Burkes to tie the game. LSU reclaimed the lead with a field goal, but then down late Mateer found Isaiah Sategna for a 58-yard go ahead strike.

Despite LSU’s defensive toughness and improved tackling, the Sooners’ balance and efficiency eventually wore the Tigers down. The loss drops LSU to 7–5 on the season, while Oklahoma strengthens its path toward a College Football Playoff berth.

No. 14 Vanderbilt 45, No. 19 Tennessee 21

Tennessee delivered when the rivalry stakes were highest, overpowering No. 14 Vanderbilt in the first ranked matchup in the 119-year history between the in-state foes. With Neyland Stadium shaking, both teams entered as the SEC’s top scoring offenses, the Vols struck first and never looked rattled in the first half.

It was a shootout in the first half with both teams going back and forth, ending in a Vanderbilt touchdown with 12 seconds left to tie the game at 21-21 going into the break. The Commodores scored out the half to get the two-for-one and take the lead.

From there Vanderbilt never looked back, outscoring Tennessee 24-3 in the second half with the Vols only managing a field goal in the fourth quarter. Diego Pavia led the way with 268 passing yards and 165 rushing yards with two total touchdowns. The Commodores utilized long drives to keep the Vols' offense off the field and now will have to sit and wait on selection day to see what the future holds for their season.

🔴 ⚪️ Mateer 58-yard bomb to take the lead

📝 FCS recap

The FCS playoffs kicked off today and what a day it was! Here's what you may have missed.

The Ivy League made its postseaon debut 

The Ivy League made its first-ever appearance in the FCS playoffs and thing looked bleak to start the day.

Harvard — an at-large team — was dominated by Villanova losing 52-7. Villanova quarterback Pat McQuaide stole the spotlight from Harvard's NFL draft prospect quarterback Jaden Craig, accounting for four touchdowns. McQuaide possibly had the play of the playoffs with this crazy touchdown throw.

Yale's playoff hopes were also grim, trailing by 28 points in the third quarter. That's when running back Josh Pitsenberger took over on the ground. After scoring the first Ivy League touchdown in history, he dashed for a 56-yard game-winning run to secure the comeback win 43-42.

Trickeration in the FCS playoff dancery

The FCS playoffs always bring out the trick plays, especially in the first round. Illinois State brought the flare today with its rendition of the "Philly Special".

It's "Snow Place like Home" for South Dakota State

South Dakota State got its starting quarterback Chase Mason back and he led the Jackrabbits to a playoff win in the snow. SDSU had some fun in the 41-3 blowout win, jumping into snow piles and making snow angles.

Great catches continue

We've seen spectacular catches throughout the FCS season, so of course the playoffs would continue the trend. South Dakota's Larenzo Fenner and Abilene Chrisitan's Javon Gipson had the top two catches of the day.

HBCU football sees upsets

Southern and Mississippi Valley State entered the final weekend of the season as two of the worst teams in all of DI HBCU football. Both landed upsets to end their seasons on a high note.

Mississippi Valley State is no longer winless in the SWAC after defeating Florida A&M for the second straight year. The Delta Devils moved to 2-10 after a 35-31 win.

Southern won its fourth straight Bayou Classic in thrilling fashion. The Jaguars got a late fumble recovery to clinch the game and their second win of the season. There even was a performance from Glorilla.

🐯 Tigers taking control

LSU has established itself in the second half. A John Mateer interception turned into six points for opposing quarterback Michael Van Buren who ran it 23 yards to the Sooners' one-yard line and then threw Zavion Thomas in the end zone to take the lead. Mateer threw another pick on the next drive deep in the red zone for his third interception of the day. The Tigers have taken a 10-3 lead with just under six minutes to play in the third quarter.

☑️ Mid afternoon check

The 3:30 window has three applicants looking to submit their resume for the College Football Playoffs. With two quarters in the books let’s take a look at how these contenders are doing.

No. 6 Oregon 13,  Washington 7

No. 6 Oregon is sitting squarely in the middle of a potential College Football Playoff berth with just one obstacle in a solid 8-3 Washington team on the road. The Ducks have been unfazed by the pressure, jumping out to a 13-7 lead. 

Oregon got on the board first with a 46-yard field goal on its opening drive. However, the offense really got its confidence after a fourth-and-1 on the 22-yard-line turned into a 17-yard gain, first down and an eventual rushing touchdown from quarterback Dante Moore to cap off the 14-play 80-yard drive.

Defensively, the Ducks have been stout as Demond Williams Jr. was picked off in the end zone by Jadon Canady after Washington started the drive in Oregon territory. The Ducks converted another 36-yard field goal, but gave Washington just enough time to score a touchdown before the half expired: a three-yard catch from Denzel Boston.

No. 8 Oklahoma 3, LSU 3 

LSU and Oklahoma hit halftime in Norman with the Sooners clinging to their College Football Playoff hopes and the Tigers intent on ruining the party. In their first-ever trip to Norman, interim coach Frank Wilson’s squad has leaned on an improved offensive line to help freshman quarterback Michael Van Buren, who earned the start with Garrett Nussmeier sidelined by an abdominal injury.

Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer continues to look better each week, but LSU’s defense has settled in, limiting big plays and forcing Oklahoma to earn every yard.
Both teams only managed a field goal in 30 minutes of action. Both quarterbacks have thrown one interception to zero touchdowns, so it looks to be a stale mate unless one of the teams find its rhythm offensively in the second half.

No. 14 Vanderbilt 21, No. 19 Tennessee 21

Rivalry week has arrived to Rocky Top as the 9-3 Tennessee Volunteers look to foil in-state foe Vanderbilt’s Cinderella season and keep them out of the CFP. While Heisman candidate Diego Pavia and company are trying to cap off the Commodores’ most successful season in program history with its first 10-win season.

The Vols kicked off the game with a quick three-and-out, but got the momentum, picking off Pavia on the 1-yard-line. Tennessee turned the pick into seven points, going 80 yards in 12 plays. Vanderbilt answered with a six play, 75-yard drive that ended in a 28-yard rushing score from Sedrick Alexander to knot the game at 7-7.

The Commodores scored another quick touchdown to start the second quarter going up 14-7. Tennessee’s Joey Aguilar, not to be out done, found Chris Brazzell for a 52-yard touchdown to tie the game back up. The Vols took the lead with a 35-yard gash from DeSean Bishop who has 92 yards at the half to make it a 21-14 match.

Vanderbilt returned the favor, going 52 yards in just over three minutes to tie the game going into the break. A roughing the passer penalty on Tennessee set Pavia up to find Tre Richardson in the end zone.   
 

9:57 pm, November 29, 2025

❄️ Snow game beauty

Minnesota's Darius Taylor takes this one 49 yards through the blizzard to give the Golden Gophers a 10-0 lead. 

9:33 pm, November 29, 2025

🫣 Razorbacks swarm miscue

Missouri quarterback Beau Pribula drops the football after a blown up screen pass and the Arkansas defense swarms, bobbles and returns the fumble all the way back. The Tigers tied it back up on the ensuing drive as the SEC foes are knotted 14-14 early in the second quarter. 

9:24 pm, November 29, 2025

🦆 Ball hawk in Seattle

Oregon's Jadon Canady reads Demond Williams' end zone shot perfectly, elevating and coming down with the interception. The Ducks take over, leading 3-0 at the end of the first quarter. 

9:07 pm, November 29, 2025

💨 Beau Pribula breaks one

Missouri quarterback Beau Pribula scrambles for 50 yards on the TIgers first play from scrimmage. The long run set up a touchdown for Jamal Roberts as Mizzou takes an early 7-0 lead.

🪟 Noon window recap

The early afternoon contests of Saturday's jam-packed day have concluded. Here's a recap from two of the biggest:

No. 1 Ohio State manhandles No. 15 Michigan, snaps losing streak 

Ohio State snapped its four-game losing streak against No. 15 Michigan, taking down the Wolverines in a snow-filled battle, 27-9. It’s their first win against Michigan since 2019. 

The Wolverines energized the Big House early, picking off Buckeyes quarterback Julian Sayin during Ohio State’s first offensive drive of the contest. They went on to take a 6-0 lead with consecutive field goals, but as the game continued, the Buckeyes gained more and more traction.Their momentum hit its pinnacle in the third quarter when Sayin hit wide receiver Carnell Tate for a 50-yard touchdown to up Ohio State’s lead to 24-9.

Sayin threw for 233 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in the win. Michigan struggled to get anything going offensively, collecting just 163 total yards.

The Buckeyes head to the Big Ten Championship for the first time since 2020 to face No. 2 Indiana. 

No. 12 Miami pummels No. 22 Pitt in ACC battle

No. 12 Miami trounced No. 22 Pitt, 38-7, in an important conference battle with ACC title game hopes on the line. 

All three phases were in sync for Miami, putting points on the board in three of its first four drives of the game, while not allowing Pitt to score after the first quarter. Five of the Hurricanes’ six scoring drives resulted in a touchdown, including this trick play by wideout Malachi Toney. The offense produced 416 total yards in the contest.  

The Panthers punted on six of their 10 offensive drives and turned it over on two others. The 31-point victory keeps the Hurricanes’ ACC championship game chances alive and ends the Panthers.
