Miami (Ohio) is 22–0, sold out its arena for the first time ever, and is chasing its first NCAA Tournament bid since 2007. This is why college basketball rules! Experience, buy-in, and an underdog story that came out of nowhere. Full new ep of Game Runs Deep:

Just so folks understand the NYE game not happening this season, it’s due to college football not going up against the NFL on that Thursday. Still…Really don’t enjoy a day off between quarterfinals.

CFP has announced dates for the next two years of bowl games. Teams will essentially have 2 weeks off between quarterfinal and semifinal. No New Year’s Eve game this season. Orange Bowl and Sugar Bowl will host semifinals. National Championship in Las Vegas

The Ole Miss-Clemson tampering nonsense comes down to one key thing… Contracts, and also not leaving a trail. @TreyWallace @TheChadWithrow and @HuttonOutkick break it down. Full Episode: https://t.co/qt6ohEi4Iz

Tennessee quarterback Joey Aguilar is suing to get another year of college football. His argument is the Diego Pavia case, that his years in junior college shouldn’t count against him. He’s only played three years of major college football. Fair or foul?

Joey Aguilar suing the NCAA in a local Knoxville court was the play. Now, Vols wait to see if plan laid out by Trinidad Chambliss and Charles Bediako works out in the end. Let the arguments continue!

Kentucky’s Will Stein has put on a strong showing through the portal He’s also working within the ‘grey area’ of recruiting, agreeing with Dabo Swinney "You can't text or call guys, you can't do that. So don't do it. You know, it's not that hard,"

Kentucky's Will Stein Backs Dabo Swinney's Tampering Stance: 'Don't Text A Kid. Is It That Hard?" The Wildcats coach is building a roster, but has also had to deal with multiple agents, for one player. This era is fascinating @OutKickHotMic

Gonna be interesting to see how NCAA handles this. I’m guessing slap on the wrist if anything

Bruce Pearl thinks the NCAA ‘should consider’ banning Alabama from postseason, amid Charles Bediako mess. The former Auburn coach referenced his penalties stemming from Tennessee days. Another court hearing awaits, that could change the NCAA.

Gus Malzahn is retiring from coaching, he tells @CBSSports. His 35-year career began at Arkansas high schools and peaked at Auburn, where he spent eight seasons, won an SEC title, finished as national runner-up in 2013, and beat Nick Saban’s Alabama three times.
