A week of holiday tournaments and other high-profile matchups in men’s college basketball produced wholesale changes in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, including a top-five team falling out of the Top 25 entirely.

Kansas remains No. 1, thanks in large part to staving off Duke in Las Vegas. The Jayhawks received 19 of 31 first-place votes this week, but their overall lead has narrowed to just five poll points. Auburn, which might have had an even better week with its championship at the Maui Invitational, moves up to No. 2, claiming the other 12 first-place nods.

A couple of other SEC teams are also on the rise, as Tennessee moves up to No. 3 and Kentucky climbs to No. 6. Marquette vaults seven places to No. 4, and Iowa State hangs on at No. 5 despite being Auburn’s first victim in Maui.

TOP 25: Complete USA TODAY Sports men’s basketball poll

Purdue is back in the top 10, climbing five places to No. 7. Gonzaga slips four positions to No. 8 after an overtime loss to West Virginia in the Battle 4 Atlantis. Duke actually moves up a notch to No. 9, and Oregon debuts in the poll all the way at No. 10 after its Players Era Festival tournament triumph that culminated in a last-second win against No. 12 Alabama.

In all, six new teams enter the top 25 this week, including No. 15 Memphis, No. 17 Illinois and No. 21 Oklahoma. The Sooners captures the Battle 4 Atlantis title.

The list of dropouts has a number of big-name programs, but perhaps none bigger than Connecticut. The Huskies, ranked second last week, fall out of the poll after dropping all three games in a disastrous trip to Maui.

Indiana, Creighton, Arkansas and Arizona are also among the teams no longer ranked.

The scuffle between Ohio State and Michigan after the Buckeyes’ 13-10 loss to the Wolverines was one of just several fights across college football during rivalry week last Saturday.

If it were up to one of the most prominent voices in the sport, those physical altercations would come with some serious consequences.

In a post Sunday night on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, ESPN analyst and former Ohio State quarterback Kirk Herbstreit said that players involved in these fights should be suspended for their team’s next game, even if it forced them to sit out a conference championship or College Football Playoff game.

“I think any conference commissioner who had a team or teams involved in the postgame fights owes it to his conference and THE SPORT of CFB to study the film very closely and sit anyone who was involved in being an aggressor to help escalate the situation,” Herbstreit wrote. “Sit those involved for their next game. Whether it’s a bowl game or playoff game. These dudes need consequences-for their own good!”

The intense passions of rivalry matchups led to a number of violent confrontations between teams after their games last week.

Ohio State and Michigan players got into a fracas after the Wolverines attempted to plant their maize-and-blue flag on the Block O at midfield of Ohio Stadium following their stunning triumph as a three-touchdown underdog. The fight took several minutes to clear up and saw police deploy pepper spray on players and nearby media members, something that the Ohio State Police Department is now investigating.

It wasn’t the only high-profile stand-off between FBS teams.

North Carolina and North Carolina State, Florida and Florida State, and Arizona and Arizona State all got into heated altercations of some sort after their rivalry games. Each of the fights was instigated by the winning team, all of which were playing on the road, attempting to plant a flag (or, in Arizona State’s case, a trident) on their opponent’s midfield logo.

Repercussions from the Ohio State-Michigan brawl have already been felt, with both universities getting fined $100,000 by the Big Ten. In a statement, the league said the Buckeyes and Wolverines violated the ‘fundamental elements of sportsmanship such as respect and civility” and that “the nature of the incident also jeopardized the safety of participants and bystanders.’

The Big Ten didn’t go as far as Herbstreit may have liked, with the conference opting not to discipline any individual players involved in the incident.

NFL Week 14 could be the turning point for this year’s playoff race. Just look at the standings as the 2024 regular season reaches its stretch run, and then glance at the schedule. It’s littered with games that could decide division races, wild card spots and postseason tiebreakers.

That starts Thursday night when the Detroit Lions host the Green Bay Packers in a matchup of NFC North contenders. Sunday’s action includes a matchup to decide first place the NFC West (Seahawks vs. Cardinals), two teams in the middle of the logjam atop the NFC North and NFC South (Falcons vs. Vikings) and ‘Sunday Night Football’ featuring the two best teams in the AFC West (Chargers vs. Chiefs).

There’s a whole lot at stake. After this week, when six teams are on a bye, every team in the league will have only four games left in the regular season. The playoffs aren’t far off anymore, and analysts are already weighing in on what might happen next. Here is an early look at picks and predictions for every game on the Week 14 schedule:

NFL Week 14 game predictions, picks

Odds courtesy of BetMGM as of Monday, Dec. 2

NFL STATS CENTRAL: The latest NFL scores, schedules, odds, stats and more.

Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions

Date: Thursday, Dec. 5
Time: 8:15 p.m. ET
Location: Ford Field (Detroit)
TV: None
Streaming: Amazon Prime Video
Spread: Lions (-3.5)

∎ BetMGM: Packers cover with Lions ailing

‘Aidan Hutchinson, Alex Anzalone and now Malcolm Rodriguez. Those are the glaring absentees for Detroit (on defense), which also has Marcus Davenport on IR and Carlton Davis sidelined. The quality of Detroit’s offense may be enough to overcome those absences from an outright standpoint, but will they really cover this big a number?’

∎ Arizona Republic: Lions 28, Packers 24

‘Can the Packers upset the Lions in Detroit? Sure they can. Will they? We don’t think so after the Lions got a bit of a wake-up call against the Bears on Thanksgiving.’

New York Jets at Miami Dolphins

Date: Sunday, Dec. 8
Time: 1 p.m. ET
Location: Hard Rock Stadium (Miami Gardens, Florida)
TV: CBS
Streaming: NFL+, Paramount+, YouTube TV (NFL Sunday Ticket) or Fubo
Spread: Dolphins (-6.5)

∎ Betting Pros: Dolphins win big

‘This is a good spot for the Dolphins to get back on track. … New York’s offense continues to struggle, and its defense has also been an issue. With Miami at home, the offense should be able to cruise to a lopsided win and keep their slim playoff hopes alive.’

∎ Pro Football Network: Dolphins 24, Jets 17

‘The metrics tell you that the Dolphins are the superior team here offensively, while they are essentially even defensively. Throw in home-field advantage, and it makes a lot of sense that Miami is favored.’

Atlanta Falcons at Minnesota Vikings

Date: Sunday, Dec. 8
Time: 1 p.m. ET
Location: U.S. Bank Stadium (Minneapolis)
TV: FOX
Streaming: NFL+, YouTube TV (NFL Sunday Ticket) or Fubo
Spread: Vikings (-5)

∎ BetMGM: Take the points with Atlanta

‘Atlanta’s 17-13 defeat against the Chargers is slightly misleading. (Kirk) Cousins threw four interceptions, including one in the end zone, and had a pick returned for a touchdown. But the Falcons offense dominated the line of scrimmage and produced a strong offensive performance. Atlanta outgained the Chargers, 350-187.’

∎ Bookies.com: Vikings get a ‘must’ win

‘Kirk Cousins returns to Minnesota. The Vikings have moved on just fine without him, going 10-2 in their first dozen games with Sam Darnold at QB. … They’re just one game behind Detroit in the race for the NFC North and the (slim) possibility for a first-round bye and home field. This one is a must. The Falcons have begun their late-season descent in the NFC South.’ 

New Orleans Saints at New York Giants

Date: Sunday, Dec. 8
Time: 1 p.m. ET
Location: MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford, New Jersey)
TV: FOX
Streaming: NFL+, YouTube TV (NFL Sunday Ticket) or Fubo
Spread: Saints (-5)

∎ Arizona Republic: Saints 21, Giants 13

‘If the Giants want to get a win at home this season, this might be their best opportunity. Still, we don’t like New York’s chances.’

∎ Pro Football Network: Saints 20, Giants 17

‘It is uncomfortable to lay five points with this Saints team on the road. They are 1-4 on the road this year, with their only win coming indoors against the Dallas Cowboys back in Week 2, meaning they’re 0-3 outdoors this season.’

Carolina Panthers at Philadelphia Eagles

Date: Sunday, Dec. 8
Time: 1 p.m. ET
Location: Lincoln Financial Field (Philadelphia)
TV: FOX
Streaming: NFL+, YouTube TV (NFL Sunday Ticket) or Fubo
Spread: Eagles (-12.5)

∎ Bookies.com: Eagles win, Panthers cover

‘The Panthers have covered in 4 straight games, including their lone two wins of the season in early November. … Philly has won 8 straight and has also covered in its past 4 games. But this number is the largest the Eagles have faced all season as favorites. Philly wants to run the ball and the clock here. Bryce Young and the Panthers’ defense can deliver the back door cover here.’

∎ Arizona Republic: Eagles 30, Panthers 16

‘The Eagles are the biggest favorite of the week and for good reason. This team is rolling (eight straight wins). Jalen Hurts and company will make it nine straight after this game.’

Cleveland Browns at Pittsburgh Steelers

Date: Sunday, Dec. 8
Time: 1 p.m. ET
Location: Acrisure Stadium (Pittsburgh)
TV: CBS
Streaming: NFL+, Paramount+, YouTube TV (NFL Sunday Ticket) or Fubo
Spread: Steelers (-6.5)

∎ Betting Pros: Steelers get revenge

‘The Steelers were upset by the Browns (in Week 12) in a game that was significantly impacted by weather. However, Pittsburgh plays much better at home, and the offense has come to life under Russell Wilson. Expect the Steelers offense to score and for the defense to get after Jameis Winston.’

∎ Pro Football Network: Steelers 20, Browns 17

‘It’s hard to project which version of the (Jameis) Winston experience you’re going to get. Defensively, they are essentially even, so the edge goes to the Steelers.’

Las Vegas Raiders at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Date: Sunday, Dec. 8
Time: 1 p.m. ET
Location: Raymond James Stadium
TV: CBS
Streaming: NFL+, Paramount+, YouTube TV (NFL Sunday Ticket) or Fubo
Spread: Buccaneers (-7)

∎ Bookies.com: Lay the points in Tampa

‘Baker Mayfield has the Bucs cooking just in time for the NFC South and NFC playoff race. Tampa Bay is getting healthier each week. The Bucs offense at home against a Mountain/West team with an early kickoff should over perform.’

∎ Arizona Republic: Buccaneers 24, Raiders 14

‘We wrote off Tampa Bay a few weeks ago. We were wrong. The Buccaneers are now tied for the NFC South lead and should at least be in that same position after this week.’

Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans

Date: Sunday, Dec. 8
Time: 1 p.m. ET
Location: Nissan Stadium (Nashville, Tennessee)
TV: CBS
Streaming: NFL+, Paramount+, YouTube TV (NFL Sunday Ticket) or Fubo
Spread: Titans (-3.5)

∎ BetMGM: Fade Will Levis and the Titans

‘Lost in the Jaguars’ loss to the Texans is the fact their offense excelled behind Mac Jones … But the crux of this play is fading Will Levis as a market favorite. Levis is 1-3 against the spread as a market favorite for his career. It’s also the first time Brian Callahan will play a game as a favorite with Levis. With Mason Rudolph, he’s 0-3 against the spread.’

∎ Pro Football Network: Titans 23, Jaguars 20

‘Can you really lay 4.5 points with Will Levis and a Titans’ defense that is seemingly crumbling? Equally, can you trust Mac Jones, who led his team to 13 points in two starts (albeit against very good defenses)?’

Seattle Seahawks at Arizona Cardinals

Date: Sunday, Dec. 8
Time: 4:05 p.m. ET
Location: State Farm Stadium (Glendale, Arizona)
TV: CBS
Streaming: NFL+, Paramount+, YouTube TV (NFL Sunday Ticket) or Fubo
Spread: Cardinals (-3)

∎ Arizona Republic: Cardinals 27, Seahawks 20

‘The Cardinals really need to win this game to help their chances to win the NFC West after two-straight losses on the road. Luckily for Arizona, this game is at home, where the Bird Gang will help Arizona rise.’

∎ Bookies.com: Seattle has the Cardinals’ number 

‘The Seahawks kept Kyler Murray’s offense out of the end zone in their 16-6 win over the Cardinals in Seattle two weeks ago. … The Seahawks have beaten the Cardinals six-straight times.’

Buffalo Bills at Los Angeles Rams

Date: Sunday, Dec. 8
Time: 4:25 p.m. ET
Location: SoFi Stadium (Los Angeles)
TV: FOX
Streaming: NFL+, YouTube TV (NFL Sunday Ticket) or Fubo
Spread: Bills (-4)

∎ Pro Football Network: Bills 30, Rams 20

‘The Buffalo Bills are on a tear right now. They’ve won seven in a row, with five being by more than one score. Buffalo’s struggles, however, have come on the road. … The Bills have a chance to fix that narrative in the next two weeks, and the first step comes against the Los Angeles Rams.’

∎ Arizona Republic: Bills 30, Rams 20

‘The Rams are fighting for their playoff lives, but the Bills are just playing at an elite level right now. Matthew Stafford and company won’t be able to keep up.’

Chicago Bears at San Francisco 49ers

Date: Sunday, Dec. 8
Time: 4:25 p.m. ET
Location: Soldier Field (Chicago)
TV: FOX
Streaming: NFL+, YouTube TV (NFL Sunday Ticket) or Fubo
Spread: 49ers (-3.5)

∎ Pro Football Network: 49ers 23, Bears 20

‘What a fascinating matchup this is between a team that has fired its head coach and another that is reeling from injury issues and coming off two humiliating road losses in cold-weather games.’

∎ Bookies.com: Bet on the Bears

‘The 4-8 Bears have lost seven-straight on the road, but the Niners have failed to cover in four-straight. Chicago is primed for the interim-coach bounce back cover – if not win.’

Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs

Date: Sunday, Dec. 8
Time: 8:20 p.m. ET
Location: Arrowhead Stadium (Kansas City, Missouri)
TV: NBC
Streaming: Peacock, Fubo
Spread: Chiefs (-4)

∎ ESPN: Chargers cover in a close game

‘The Chiefs are riding a four-game win streak but haven’t had a victory of more than 3.5 points … The Chargers have also won five of their last six games. But their scoring margin in those six games is +49 compared to the Chiefs’ margin of +11 over the same stretch. Los Angeles is playing much better than they were the last time these two teams met. And even if the Chiefs pull it out, it is likely that it’s going to be a really close, last-second victory.’

∎ Pro Football Focus: Bet on Chiefs’ luck to run out

‘The Chargers have hit their stride in recent weeks, producing a better expected points added margin than Kansas City since Week 7. Their defense, especially, has been an elite unit and should be able to pressure Patrick Mahomes.’

Cincinnati Bengals at Dallas Cowboys

Date: Monday, Dec. 9
Time: 8:15 p.m. ET
Location: AT&T Stadium (Arlington, Texas)
TV: ABC, ESPN, ESPN2
Streaming: ESPN+, Fubo
Spread: Bengals (-6)

∎ Arizona Republic: Bengals 24, Cowboys 17

‘Two of the most disappointing teams in the NFL this season. We have more faith in Joe Burrow and the Bengals’ ability to put points on the scoreboard.’

∎ Pro Football Network: Bengals 30, Cowboys 24

‘The Bengals have been involved in several shootouts this year, but I question whether Cooper Rush can go toe-to-toe in one against Joe Burrow and that offense. … Cincinnati is 2-4 this year when scoring over 30 points, demonstrating just how bad the defense is.’

NFL Week 13 is (almost) in the books.

➤ Three and out (your Week 13 must-reads):

32 things we learned: Division races set to heat up
Winners and losers: While Steelers air it out, Ravens have a Justin Tucker problem
Your updated playoff picture through Sunday’s games

➤ Game of the day: Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26, Carolina Panthers 23 (OT) — In the division no team seemed to want to win, the Buccaneers might be poised to claim a fourth straight NFC South crown. It took a wild overtime win to move into a first-place tie atop the division with the Atlanta Falcons, who are really riding the struggle bus right now (it should be noted that the Falcons swept the Buccaneers head-to-head and have that all-important tiebreaker). It’s good to see Bryce Young playing well after getting benched earlier this season. However, it was the opposing quarterback, Baker Mayfield (with a lot of help from Bucky Irving), who lifted his team to victory in an unexpectedly entertaining showdown that many fans were prevented from watching late.

➤ How about the …!

Philadelphia Eagles: This team looks like it could give the Detroit Lions a real run for their money as the NFC’s top team. In Week 14 while the Lions host the division-rival Green Bay Packers on ‘Thursday Night Football,’ the Eagles get to host the Caroline Panthers.
Pittsburgh Steelers: The Steelers improved to 9-3 and recorded their 21st consecutive season without a losing record, which ties the team with the Dallas Cowboys of 1965-1985 for the most consecutive seasons without a losing record in NFL history.

➤ What’s up with the …?

Atlanta Falcons: No team’s hold on a division lead seems as precarious as that of the Falcons, who have lost three consecutive games. Could this team really consider benching expensive veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins in favor of rookie first-rounder Michael Penix Jr.?
Baltimore Ravens: Starting to think this team isn’t in the same class as the AFC-leading Bills and Chiefs. It also has to be at least slightly distressing to see Justin Tucker struggling.

➤ Alt uniform of the week: New England Patriots — The glorious red ‘Pat Patriot’ throwback uniforms made a welcome return in Week 13. Unfortunately for New England, the team did what it often did in those uniforms … lose. At least they looked good doing it! Thanksgiving weekend also saw the Miami Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys wear throwback uniforms. They good, too!

NFL Week 13 key storylines

➤ 32 things we learned: The NFL began its December slate in Week 13, and several division races are starting to heat up, Nate Davis writes.

➤ Winners and losers: Week 13 in the NFL brought us a post-Thanksgiving slate that included snow, a cross-country revenge game and an all-time great kicker who continues to struggle.

➤ Surging Super Bowl contender has new vibe after last year’s collapse: The Eagles are once again off to a hot start, but this year’s team has a much different outlook after learning key lessons from last year’s collapse, Chris Bumbaca writes.

➤ High-priced QB’s meltdown sparks questions about team’s plan: The Falcons signed Kirk Cousins to put them over the top in key spots. Instead, the QB is weighing Atlanta down, including Sunday vs. the Chargers, Jarrett Bell writes.

NFL Week 13 results

Buffalo Bills 35, San Francisco 49ers 10: The snow was an appropriate backdrop as the Bills got an early Christmas present with the team’s fifth consecutive AFC East title.
Philadelphia Eagles 24, Baltimore Ravens 19: With a thorough defeat on the road against the Ravens, the Eagles proved to be in the NFL’s upper tier.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26, Carolina Panthers 23 (OT): It’s not quite the famous ‘Heidi Game,’ but the ‘Krapopolis’ game was an overtime thriller that many outside of the Buccaneers’ and Panthers’ local markets totally missed.
Los Angeles Rams 21, New Orleans Saints 14: The Rams pulled out a nail-biter, as Saints interim head coach Darren Rizzi had his first loss and Taysom Hill was carted off the field.
Los Angeles Chargers 17, Atlanta Falcons 13: The Chargers benefitted from a career-high four interceptions from Kirk Cousins, with three of those picks – including a pick-six – coming in the second half.
Pittsburgh Steelers 44, Cincinnati Bengals 38: This triumph over a reeling division opponent pushed the Steelers’ streak of non-losing seasons to 21, which ties the best in league history.
Houston Texans 23, Jacksonville Jaguars 20: The Texans maintained their two-game edge in the AFC South by collecting their second win in four games. The win came with some controversy, as a hit by Azeez Al-Shaair knocked Trevor Lawrence from the game.
Minnesota Vikings 23, Arizona Cardinals 22: The Vikings overcame a 13-point deficit to win a fifth consecutive game and keep its place amongst the Lions and Packers in the highly competitive NFC North.
Indianapolis Colts 25, New England Patriots 24: A fourth-quarter comeback and two-point gamble helped keep the Colts in the AFC playoff picture.
Seattle Seahawks 26, New York Jets 21: This victory over the hapless Jets gave the Seahawks a third consecutive win and kept them in the lead in the NFC West.
Washington Commanders 42, Tennessee Titans 19: The Commanders put an end to a three-game slide in emphatic fashion, scoring 21 first quarter points en route to a rout of the Titans.
Las Vegas Raiders at Kansas City Chiefs (Friday): You can add ‘botched snap’ to the ‘how did the Chiefs win in 2024’ bingo card as Kansas City earned yet another ugly win. A ‘W’ is a ‘W,’ though.
Green Bay Packers 30, Miami Dolphins 17 (Thanksgiving): The Packers set up a juicy Week 14 ‘Thursday Night Football’ showdown with the Lions with this relatively easy win over a desperate Dolphins team.
Dallas Cowboys 27, New York Giants 20 (Thanksgiving): The Cowboys remain ‘in the hunt’ on the NFC playoff picture after this victory in their annual Thanksgiving showcase. The Giants are trending toward a very high first-round pick, which they’ll need to draft a new quarterback.
Detroit Lions 23, Chicago Bears 20 (Thanksgiving): The Lions (11-1) are off to the best start in the 95-year history of the franchise (and ended a seven-game losing streak on Thanksgiving). A puzzling late-game time management decision might have been the last straw for Matt Eberflus in Chicago.

Coming up this week

➤ Monday: Week 13 concludes with the Denver Broncos hosting the Cleveland Browns at Empower Field at Mile High (8:15 p.m. ET on ESPN). The Broncos are in the thick of the AFC playoff race, and would desire to stay there.

➤ Tuesday: USA TODAY Sports offers its power rankings for all 32 NFL teams after Week 13.

➤ Thursday: Week 14 kicks off with a huge NFC North showdown between the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions at Ford Field (8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video). The Lions, off to their best start since 1934, are riding a 10-game winning streak, and have won five of their last six against the Packers. Before the weekend’s games, make sure to check out our expert picks for every Week 14 game.

Mollie Marcoux Samaan has resigned from her duties as LPGA commissioner. The tour announced the news just days after the conclusion of a historic 2024 season. Liz Moore, the LPGA’s Chief Legal and Technology Officer and Corporate Secretary, will assume the role of Interim Commissioner, according to a release from the tour.

‘I thank Chairman John Veihmeyer and the rest of the LPGA Board for trusting me to serve as the ninth Commissioner of the LPGA,’ said Marcoux Samaan in a statement. ‘In this role, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside a remarkable community of athletes, teachers, partners, tournament operators, industry colleagues, media, fans, volunteers, and staff who share a deep commitment to growing the LPGA and using the organization’s unique platform to empower and advance women and girls. I am proud of the unprecedented growth the LPGA has enjoyed since I began my tenure. The strategy we have built for growth and impact along with the infrastructure we have added to capitalize on the tremendous opportunity ahead will serve the LPGA well in the coming decades. With the LPGA positioned for continued growth, it’s time for me to have more time to cheer on our three amazing children as they live their dreams while I continue to pursue my passion for building leaders, uniting communities and creating value through sports, particularly women’s sports.’

Marcoux Samaan, the tour’s ninth commissioner, was hired in May 2021 to replace the now-current USGA CEO Mike Whan. Her five-year contract ran until the summer of 2026. The former Princeton athletic director was the second woman to hold the post. Carolyn Bivens was ousted by the players in July 2009.

‘On behalf of the LPGA Board, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to Mollie for her exceptional dedication and passion in advancing the Association’s reach and impact,’ said LPGA Board Chair John B. Veihmeyer. ‘Since joining the LPGA in 2021, Mollie has been instrumental in solidifying our position as the global leader in women’s professional golf, realizing record growth in player earnings and fan engagement. Mollie has been a steadfast advocate for equity in the sport and has worked tirelessly to expand opportunities for women and girls through the game. I am confident that the LPGA is well-positioned for continued success as we build on the growth trajectory of the past three and a half years of Mollie’s leadership. We deeply appreciate the lasting impact of Mollie’s many contributions.’

Purses have risen substantially since 2021 – major championship purses alone have more than doubled – and the largest winner’s check in the history of the women’s game of $4 million was handed out at the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship to Thailand’s Jeeno Thitikul.

Dan Campbell isn’t sweating Jahmyr Gibbs’ social media slip-up that inadvertently leaked some of the Detroit Lions’ protection terminology.

“I don’t really give a crap,’ Campbell said Monday in his weekly radio interview on local Detroit radio station WXYT-FM. ‘If we’re going to lose because of code words then we’re not good enough anyway. So I think we’ll just post the whole fricking playbook out there and every code word we’ve got. And it doesn’t matter. It’s not going to hurt us, it won’t affect us and it’s all good.’

Gibbs posted a photo of fellow Lions running back Jermar Jefferson posing in front of a white board with the terms and responsibilities spelled out behind him. Some of them included ‘Caitlyn Jenner,’ ‘Khloe Kardashian,’ ‘Julia Roberts’ and ‘Purple Michigan Wolverine.’

Campbell said opposing teams can hear those calls on the TV broadcast anyway and continued to downplay the incident, although he was apparently unaware of it at first before a reporter brought it to his attention during a news conference Saturday.

‘It’s on tape. The TV copy. I mean, you guys at home get more than we do, until after the game,’ Campbell said Monday. ‘I’m telling you, it’s crazy. Listen, it’s all out there and you can find any and everything that you need on the tape and how to attack people, how they’re going to attack you and no, listen, I’m not losing sleep over that.’

Campbell said he doesn’t believe the Lions need to drastically change their calls. Gibbs will not be disciplined, Campbell said, and he hasn’t yet commented on the situation.

Texas climbs to No. 2, Ohio State drops to No. 7 and the reputation of the ACC takes a big hit in this week’s USA TODAY Sports NCAA Re-Rank 1-134 after some wild results on rivalry weekend.

The Longhorns’ 17-7 win against Texas A&M moves them ahead of No. 3 Notre Dame. Penn State, Georgia and SMU round out the top six.

Ohio State comes in ahead of No. 8 Tennessee thanks to top-10 wins against the Penn State and Indiana. The Volunteers have one ranked victory, a defeat of No. 12 Alabama.

The highest-ranked three-loss team is No. 10 South Carolina. The Gamecocks are up three spots after beating Clemson 17-14. Boise State slots in between USC and the Crimson Tide.

UP AND DOWN: Winners and losers from Week 14 in college football

While SMU continues to climb, No. 16 Miami and No. 17 Clemson are down nine and six spots, respectively. The Hurricanes lost 42-38 to Syracuse and were eliminated from the ACC championship game, though an at-large playoff bid remains in play.

The regular season is over for every Bowl Subdivision team except for those playing in this weekend’s nine conference championship games, and the 2024 season altogether is complete for roughly 40% of the FBS. That locks in No. 134 Kent State as the worst team of the year and No. 129 Purdue as the worst team in the Power Four.
