College basketball rankings: Texas surges in AP Top 25; Tennessee, Gonzaga slide
Welcome to chaos. Voters in the AP Top 25 College Basketball Poll have to sort out a jumbled mess after 15 (!) ranked teams went down. But it's February and Selection Sunday is right around the corner, so chaos is not only welcomed but encouraged. Both No. 1 Purdue and No. 2 Tennessee fell on the road in conference play to Indiana and Florida, respectively.
Seven Vols earn invites to NFL Scouting Combine
Coming off an 11-win season, Tennessee will be well-represented at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine with seven players earning invites. The NFL released the full list of 319 invitees for the annual event, which is scheduled for February 28-March 6 in Indianapolis.

By losing both coordinators, Mario Cristobal and Miami come out winners
Nearly a year after Mario Cristobal methodically and expertly built his first staff at Miami, he is back at square one. That's not a bad thing, either. The Hurricanes disappointed in Year 1 on the field and more frustrating was that growth seemed difficult under both offensive and defensive coordinators, particularly on offense. Cristobal fired offensive coordinator Josh Gattis after a dreadfully inconsistent performance just one year after the Michigan coordinator was lauded as the nation's best assistant coach as the winner of the Broyles Award.

2023 Packers Mock Draft Monday 5.0
Another week, another Rodgers trade scenario. This time I flip Rodgers and a third-round pick for Raiders TE Darren Waller, and their top two picks for the next two seasons. Waller and Musgrave would give the Packers passing offense an element that it hasn't had since the days of Keith Jackson and Mark Chmura. Yes, this appears like a #Score100 draft, yet two top-15 picks are burned on defense. I'll take the two Tank Dell / Marvin Mims lotto tickets. Wilson and Gonzalez are yet another infusion of high-end talent for Joe Barry's defense.
247 Sports' Greg Biggins explains how Oregon fought to land Uiagalelei and Pleasant for 2023 class
With National Signing Day a week in the rearview mirror, the Oregon Ducks class of 2023 ranks as one of the best in the country. The Ducks finished with the No. 9 class overall, including transfer recruits, and the No. 8 class when only taking prep/JUCO recruits into account. For Dan Lanning's second season in Eugene, a top-10 class and the second-highest class in program history was a great start. Oregon's 2023 class could have been even better, as the Ducks fell just short of five-stars Peyton Bowen, David Hicks Jr., and Nyckoles Harbor.
