Jacksonville State football coach Charles Kelly against new CFP format

JACKSONVILLE — Starting in 2027, the College Football Playoff will expand to 24 teams, but what does that mean for teams like Jacksonville State football? According to the CFP release, there won't be any new spots created for the now Group of 6. There will be one spot for the highest-ranked team from the American, Conference USA, MAC, Mountain West, Pac-12 or Sun Belt. That continues a change from before the 2026 season that guaranteed bids to the four power conference champions and the highest ranked Group of Six team, instead of the five highest ranked conference champions, regardless of conference. While coach Charles Kelly sees advantage in scheduling, he doesn't seem to be in favor of an expanded playoffs, at least one that doesn't include all conference champions. "I think there may be some advantages for us in scheduling, that's the advantage that I see," Kelly said. "It's unfortunate that it's going to be the only sport in NCAA that doesn't take a conference champion. All other sports, conference champions have an opportunity to compete in the championship tournament, why we came up with that I don't know." Kelly continued to decry the new playoff format, saying he was

Heard defense makes statement in shutout of Model

FRANKLIN — Friday night’s highly-anticipated top-10 showdown between Heard County and Model was predicted to be a battle between two high-flying offenses. However, it was the Braves’ defensive performance that stole the show. No. 1-ranked Heard County completed its second straight perfect regular season, won its third consecutive region title, and handed 9th-ranked Model its first shutout in over two years with a resounding 45-0 win over the visiting Blue Devils at Staples Stadium. Heard County improved to 10-0 overall and 7-0 in Region 6-AA with its 19th straight region win. Model fell to 8-2 and 5-2. The Braves’ defensive unit smothered a Model offense that came into the night averaging almost 43 points per game. Heard County forced four Model punts, held Model to 5-of-14 on third downs, stopped the Blue Devils on all five of their fourth-down attempts, and recovered a fumble. That defensive effort repeatedly gave the ball to all-state quarterback Ethan Tisdale in excellent field position, and Tisdale knew how to take advantage of that. Tisdale rambled for 153 rushing yards on eight carries, went 10-of-14 passing for 216 yards, and finished with four total touchdowns — two rushing and two passing. Model head coach Jeff

No. 8 Houston vies to continue 'process' vs. Jacksonville State

No. 8 Houston will be out to continue its impressive showing from the opening week of the season when it hosts Jacksonville State on Wednesday night. The Cougars moved up two spots in this week's Associated Press Top 25 poll. Houston (2-0) heads back to the court after an 86-68 win over Cal in the first-ever Lake Tahoe Classic in Stateline, Nev., on Sunday. Dedan Thomas Jr. scored 20 points to lead the Cougars while Joseph Tugler added 16 points and four blocked shots. Thomas, who played last season at LSU, also had a game-high eight assists. Delrecco Gillespie racked up 13 points and eight rebounds, and Chase McCarty tallied 11 points for Houston, which shot 51.5% from the floor and led wire to wire. The Cougars turned an 11-point halftime lead into a 23-point advantage in the second half before cruising to the 18-point victory while extending their winning streak against unranked opponents to 42 games. "It's all part of ... a process," Houston coach Kelvin Sampson said of his team's play over the first two games. "But if these guys keep trusting in the process, just like everything else here, they'll get better. "We're not a veteran team.

How Ryan Seacrest is giving his old high school football team something it never had

The future of Dunwoody (GA) High School football is being built by more than just the players on the field. It's being built by hundreds of community members who have come together to give the Wildcats something they've never had before: a stadium of its own. Fueled by a donation from Dunwoody alum and television host Ryan Seacrest and a community-wide fundraising effort, Seacrest Stadium is officially set to break ground the week of Nov. 23, following county approval on Nov. 9. And when it opens next fall, the whole community will be able to call it their own. “I think we’re all kind of part owners of this,” said Steve Fortenberry, former teacher and president of the Dunwoody High School Community Association. “I think you’re really going to see that it wasn’t just the county building this and we show up. This is Dunwoody’s stadium. We are kind of the Green Bay Packers of the high schools.” The project has been years in the making, but it took a collective effort from the community to turn the vision into a reality. It started with a donation of more than $1 million from Seacrest, who played defensive back for the
