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

ICE detains Wallace State soccer players after Lincoln traffic stop

HANCEVILLE, Ala. – Four days after Luis Orta-Santoro helped Wallace State Community College earn a spot in the national soccer tournament, Lincoln police arrested him and his twin brother, Carlos, during a traffic stop in Talladega County. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said it took both players into custody the next day. Talladega County Sheriff’s Office records list the arrests of Luis Alejandro Orta-Santoro and Carlos Alberto Orta-Santoro, both 19, at 2:15 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 4. Each county booking lists one entry, “HOLD FOR ICE,” and a Nov. 5 release from the county jail. Neither booking lists a traffic charge. Their father, Carlos Enrique Orta Corredor, told WBRC the brothers were driving back to Wallace State after visiting their parents in Georgia. He said an officer stopped them in Lincoln for allegedly rolling through a stop sign, asked for their licenses and had both young men step out of the vehicle. They were handcuffed and spent the night in jail, he said. Lincoln police signed a task force agreement with ICE on July 20, according to 287(g) Watch, which tracks the agency’s published agreements. ICE says the program allows trained local officers to exercise limited immigration authority during routine police
