The No. 11-ranked UCLA Bruins are defending champions and underdogs—at least for now

The defending champs look a lot different. But even if they’re underdogs, it’s not smart to doubt UCLA. Just seven months ago, the UCLA Bruins tasted victory at the highest degree. They defeated the juggernaut South Carolina Gamecocks 79-51 to win the 2026 NCAA national championship. Fast forward...

College basketball Week 1 overreactions: Believe the UCLA hype?

The long march to March is officially underway. The 2026-27 men’s college basketball season began last week with seven full days' worth of games. While many of the contests were laughably one-sided affairs between major-conference opponents and overmatched foes from smaller leagues, there were some early and informative glimpses about the 365 Division I teams and what they might be able to accomplish this season. There were several matchups between teams ranked in the top 25 of the preseason USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, with No. 1 Florida beating No. 17 Miami , No. 5 UConn rolling past No. 20 Michigan in a rematch of last year’s national title game and No. 9 Virginia drubbing No. 13 Arkansas. There were upsets, too, like Valparaiso going on the road to knock off No. 24 Purdue in double overtime and East Texas A&M stunning Oklahoma . REQUIRED READING: UCLA stunned Arizona. What the Bruins showed should scare everyone Between the excitement over the start of the season, the small sample size of games and the desire to make sense of what we’ve seen, there’s a tendency to make big, sweeping proclamations about what’s unfolded thus far. Oftentimes, they’re overreactions — the kinds

Murray's AP Top 25: UCLA with a stellar start to the season while Purdue stumbles

Nevada Sports Net columnist Chris Murray is one of 62 voters in the college basketball AP Top 25 poll. Here is a look at his ballot this week. * UCLA: In a matchup of former Pac-12 teams, UCLA knocked off Arizona in the season opener for both teams. Bruins coach Mick Cronin could use a big season after three straight campaigns falling short of the Sweet 16. So far, so good. After UCLA’s 84-75 win over Arizona, the Bruins drubbed North Florida, 114-63. They moved from unranked to 10th on my ballot. Kentucky also went from unranked to ranked, slotting in at No. 25 after beating Manhattan (85-57) and James Madison (89-80).

CIF Football: Long Beach Poly Wins Decisive Playoff Opener Over Norco

The562’s coverage of football and Long Beach Poly Athletics for the 2026-27 school year is sponsored by Former Jackrabbits Wendell “WoWo” Moe, Jr. & Tyson Ruffins. The Long Beach Poly football team has felt all year that they have a special group in their locker room. They believed that through a frustrating non-league schedule that saw several one-score losses, and through a lopsided run through the Moore League when they weren’t tested with four running-clock wins. Friday night they got to see what they have as the Jackrabbits hit the road to No. 2 Norco in a CIF-SS Division 3 playoff opener—and they sure liked what they saw in a dominant 39-17 victory.

UCLA Wins Nine Straight to Preserve Perfect 2026 Football Record

UCLA’s remarkable football season reached another milestone in Minneapolis on November 7, 2026. The Bruins defeated Minnesota 34-20, extending their winning streak to nine games and maintaining a perfect 9-0 record. First-year head coach Bob Chesney has transformed a program that entered the season with modest expectations into a serious contender in the Big Ten and College Football Playoff race. The victory was far from straightforward. Minnesota matched UCLA through the first half and remained competitive deep into the fourth quarter. Two spectacular touchdown passes eventually broke the deadlock, turning a closely contested road game into another historic result for the unbeaten Bruins.

“Doing the Worst Job of his Entire Career”: Barstool Podcaster Rips Into Ryan Day After Disappointing Oregon Defeat

The Ohio State Buckeyes are receiving a lot of flak after their massive 41-28 upset loss to the Oregon Ducks in Week 10 on Saturday. The defeat to Oregon, combined with a Week 9 loss to the USC Trojans, is the first time since 2011 that the Buckeyes have lost two consecutive regular-season games, which is indicative of the season they’ve had thus far. Reacting to Ohio State’s underwhelming 6-3 overall record 10 weeks into the 2026 season, Barstool Sports analyst Brandon Walker on Monday’s ‘Mostly Sports’ show expressed his disappointment with the Buckeyes’ performances and placed much of the blame on head coach Ryan Day. Walker further argued that even a potential playoff appearance would not change his assessment of the Buckeyes’ struggles this season. “Ryan Day is doing the worst job of his entire career. And well, I am not like Dave Portnoy doing the whole, bouncing up and down saying that Ryan Day is terrible; this is pretty inexcusable,” Walker said. “Even if they go to playoffs, this isn’t a very good Ohio State team,” he said. “Ryan Day is doing the worst job of his entire career” -Brandon Walker https://t.co/PQaOm0q6DQ — Barstool Sports (@barstoolsports) November 9,

Predicting Week 12 Big Ten Football Game Times

It will be the Illini’s 10th game of the year with Iowa on the horizon for Week 12 inside Memorial Stadium. Illinois is 6-3 and clinched bowl eligibility with its win over Nebraska, but a win these next two weeks could give the Illini an outside chance to make the Big Ten Championship game.

UConn’s Winning Streak Comes to an End as Michigan Climbs in Women’s Basketball Rankings

The Michigan Wolverines women’s basketball team started their 2026-27 season on a tone nobody expected. In their season opener, Barnes Arico’s team defeated Geno Auriemma’s UConn Huskies in a historic win. Days later, another history followed them when the Associated Press released its Top 25 women’s basketball poll on Monday. Michigan was ranked No. 5 in the preseason ranking, but after beating UConn in the season opener and Wright State in the second game, they moved up to 2nd place in AP’s latest poll. This is the Wolverines’ highest ranking ever, beating their previous highest when they we...

Newsom announces a state ‘strike force’ to smooth path for 2028 Olympics

On a weekday morning in Sacramento, the paperwork that usually crawls between agencies was suddenly treated like a starting gun. Gov. Gavin Newsom said California would stand up a Newsom Olympics strike force to clear delays standing between Los Angeles and the 2028 Games. The group, led by Jamie Callahan, is meant to push permits, transit work, security planning, and venue questions through a system famous for taking its time. For a city that has promised the world a Games in less than two years from the announcement window described in state coverage, patience is no longer a civic virtue. It is a liability.
