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

Emily Sollie making her own name with Gadsden City flag football

Growing up, Emily Sollie was stuck having to catch passes and run routes for her older brother, Sam. It worked out well for the now-junior quarterback for Gadsden City football as he's committed to Auburn. For a while, though, it seemed catching passes for Sam was just the kind of younger sibling duty that Emily got stuck doing. Then the siblings moved to Gadsden City and Emily had a chance to take all that knowledge and training and use it on the same football field Sam started starred on. She joined the Titans' flag football program ahead of the 2025 season. "I was really excited to the join the team, I though it was so much fun and it looks fun too," Emily Sollie said. Now, she's starting both ways at receiver and linebacker/safety for the Titans who ended the regular season 11-2 and took home the first region title in the program's four-year history. For her mom, Jenny Sollie, Emily's growth in flag football is just one of many ways she has seen her daughter grow since moving from Westbrook Christian. "It's so fun to watch her just bloom in her own ways," Jenny said. "She's really come into
