Oregon Ducks' CFP chances double after Northwestern win, per ESPN FPI
It's been a roller-coaster of a season for the Oregon Ducks , with many highs and lows experienced through the first nine weeks. The Ducks entered with championship aspirations, felt early doubt and frustration, and then hope despite turmoil as backup quarterback Dylan Riola appeared to be the answer following Dante Moore's injury. However, then came the pitfalls. The lowest of lows were felt in losses to UCLA and Illinois, but after a win over No. 20 Northwestern on Saturday, it appears that the Ducks might be on a bit of an upswing once again. While some mid-season chaos takes place in the Big Ten, there technically remains a chance that Oregon can make a run at the conference title game and sneak into the College Football Playoff. That much has been reflected in the numbers according to ESPN's Football Power Index. Of course, for any of that to happen, the Ducks will need to win out, starting with a tough game on the road this week against the Ohio State Buckeyes. Here's a look at the new FPI numbers from ESPN and what it means for the Ducks. Week 10 at Ohio State Buckeyes Oregon Percent Chance to Win,

MHSAA football playoffs: Dearborn Fordson avenges Belleville losses
On a critical drive before halftime of Dearborn Fordson's MHSAA football Division 1 district semifinal rematch against Belleville, all of the Tractors' coaches got involved in the play-calling. With the score tied at 14 just before halftime on Friday, Oct. 30, Fordson got the ball back in their own territory. It started with coach Osama Abulhassan calling a screen to star running back Dean Hammoud (a Wayne State commit), who picked up a first down. Then quarterbacks coach Ali Baidoun called for a target to receiver T.J. Reaves (Youngstown State), putting the Tractors in Belleville territory. Offensive line coach Ed Carducci then channeled his inner Ben Johnson, calling for a hook-and-lateral. Quarterback Hussein Fakih hit Reaves (who had more than 90 yards receiving, plus a TD and seven tackles) on a short hitch; Reaves stopped and flipped the ball to junior Amer Daher, running a drag route below him. Daher then took off for a crucial touchdown with 16 seconds left in the half. GET READY FOR ROUND 2: MHSAA football playoffs 2026 bracket, second-round games revealed "They picked a good time to run it the best we have ever run it," Abulhassan said the next day. "Tip of the
