The Ohio State Buckeyes bounced back from what seemed like a catastrophic loss to the Michigan Wolverines to go on a four-game push through the first 12-team College Football Playoff and win the national championship.

West Virginia took advantage of the absence of Iowa State forward Milan Momcilovic, who leads the Cyclones shooting 44.3 percent from 3 this season, in Saturday’s 64-57 win. As a team, Iowa State has a higher 3-point rate and shoots a better percentage with Momcilovic on the floor:

The University of Wisconsin football program addressed key positions for its 2025 roster during the winter transfer portal window. But many of its opponents got better, at least on paper. The transfer portal was open from Dec.

Gonzaga lost to Oregon State and Santa Clara, falling out of the AP Top 25 for the first time since early last year. Georgia dropped out from No. 23 following losses to Tennessee and Auburn. Baylor, No. 25 a week ago, is out after after losses to Arizona and TCU.
