College football viewer's guide: Everything you need to know for this season
The return of college football is almost here. Unlike last season, there's not much new with the College Football Playoff this year — and the format may not be changing again soon with conferences divided on the best long-term solution for the sport. So in the meantime, the 12-team playoff awaits again this season, with one change: The top four seeds will be the top four teams in the rankings no matter if they're conference champs or not. (Last year, the top four conference champions received the four first-round byes, resulting in Boise State and Arizona State getting byes despite being ranked No. 9 and No. 12, respectively.) With that little bit of housekeeping out of the way, here's everything you need to know ahead of an action-packed 2025 college football season. CFP future still up for grabs as Big Ten pushes auto-bid format The conferences are currently at an impasse as the Big Ten is adamant in its support for a playoff format that no one else likes. The conference is advocating for a 16-team playoff that guarantees four bids each to the Big Ten and SEC, while the ACC and Big 12 each get two bids. The remaining four spots would be reserved for the top Group of Five champion and three at-large teams. Read more on future playoff formats right here. Coaches under the most pressure this season The 2025 season could be a referendum on many coaches.

It's like the wild west with a free-for-all twice a year when programs try to grab the best players available to beef up their rosters and fill their biggest holes. Immediate turnarounds are possible, but so are sudden drop-offs. Results vary; change across the sport's landscape is guaranteed.

Dodgers welcome deadline additions, hopeful arrival 'raises the floor for our ballclub'
The Dodgers didn't go shopping at the top of the market ahead of Thursday's trade deadline. But what they came away with — right-handed relievers Brock Stewart and Paul Gervase to bolster the bullpen, and versatile outfielder Alex Call to round out the lineup — are the kind of moves that 'just raises the floor for our ballclub,' manager Dave Roberts said Friday. 'I feel we did get better,' Roberts said, before echoing the front office's hope that the Dodgers' biggest improvements over the final two months of the season come from the star-studded, but underperforming, core they already have in place. 'I think we've got a pretty dang good team. I think if you look at it from the offensive side, as far as our guys, they'll be the first to tell you they've got to perform better and more consistently. That's something that we're all counting on … I love our club. I really do. Now it's up to all of us to go out there and do our jobs.' Read more: Hernández: Dodgers look vulnerable, and Padres and rest of their competitors know it The job for the Dodgers' two biggest acquisitions, Stewart and Call, will be clear from the get-go. Stewart, a former Dodgers swingman from 2016 to 2019, has reinvented himself in the second half of his career. Unlike his first stint in Los Angeles, when he threw in the low 90s and was a fringe long reliever on the roster, Stewart is now a higher-leverage relief option, with a mid-to-upper 90s fastball and swing-and-miss sweeper he has used to dominate right-handed hitters this season. 'At the end [of his first Dodgers stint], he lost the velocity and was trying to figure out if he could hang on and who he was at that point,' Roberts recalled. 'Obviously, he's put in a ton of work to sort of find himself again. He's had nothing but success. I'm excited to see this version of him. He certainly shouldn't lack for confidence.' Stewart won't fix the Dodgers' ninth-inning problems — with their closer role up in the air ever since struggling offseason signing Tanner Scott went on the injured list with an elbow injury — but could get some save situations 'in the right situation,' Roberts said — for instance, if a run of right-handed hitters (who are batting just .104 with a .327. OPS against him this year) are up at the end of the game. 'I trust the guy, I trust the player, what he's become,' Roberts said. 'So for me, if the situation calls for it tonight and he's in the ninth inning, I've got all the confidence.' Read more: Plaschke: Andrew Friedman struck out on the Dodgers' urgent need for a closer Gervase, a 6-foot-10 right-hander the Dodgers acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays in exchange for catcher Hunter Feduccia as part of a three-team trade on Wednesday night, was also on the active roster Friday. He comes with just five previous career MLB appearances, but a deceptive delivery aided by his long-limbed extension on the mound. 'I don't know a whole lot about him,' Roberts said. 'I know he's got a big arm. He's got some extension, some rise, but I haven't seen him." The arrival of Stewart and Gervase did coincide with yet another loss in the bullpen. Veteran right-hander Kirby Yates, another offseason signing who has disappointed with a 4.31 ERA this season, was placed on the injured list because of lingering discomfort in his pelvic and lower-back area. He went back to Los Angeles to get further testing. 'In the last, call it, two weeks, he hasn't felt great,' Roberts said. 'Hasn't been injured, in his words, which is why he kept pitching and competing. But we flew him home this morning to look at the doctor and kind of get some tests to see if there's something that's kind of been aggravating him. Something's just not right, exactly. So we're trying to suss that out." In the lineup, Roberts said Call — a 30-year-old right-handed-hitting journeyman who found a niche with the Washington Nationals the last few seasons as an on-base threat capable of grinding out tough at-bats — would mix in at all three outfield spots. '[He is] a tough, feisty hitter,' Roberts said. 'I certainly see him playing versus left. But I think he's pretty much a neutral guy. Slugs a little more against left, but gets on base against right. I'm going to try to keep him in there a couple times a week.' Call said he wasn't shocked to learn he had been traded on Thursday, and was excited by the 'chance to compete in the playoffs and win a World Series' with a first-place Dodgers team. Read more: Dodgers pass MLB trade deadline quietly, add Brock Stewart and Alex Call 'For me, I am going to grind out at-bats, put the ball in play, take my walks, make it tough on the pitcher,' said Call, who has hit .297 with the Nationals in 102 games over the last two seasons. 'Just really make the [pitchers] work so that hopefully they're tired when the top of the order comes back around or whatever.' Roki Sasaki facing hitters Internally, the Dodgers are hoping rookie Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki can also serve as a de facto late-season addition after missing the last several months with a shoulder injury. And this week, the right-hander took a key step in his recovery process. Sasaki faced hitters for the first time since getting hurt in a simulated inning this past week in Arizona, Roberts said, and is scheduled to throw two more simulated innings on Saturday. The team has been targeting a late-August return for Sasaki, who had a 4.72 ERA in eight starts this season before going on the IL. Sign up for more Dodgers news with Dodgers Dugout.

Brock Purdy's milestone year: A $265M deal and a new baby for the 49ers QB
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Long before he has thrown his first official pass of the 2025 season, it's been a milestone year for Brock Purdy. He signed a $265 million extension that solidified his spot as the franchise quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers in May and became a father for the first time last week when his wife gave birth to Millie Joleen Purdy. 'I still really can't describe it, just how awesome it is coming home and seeing little baby girl and holding her and her sleeping on me,' Purdy said Friday, a week after his wife Jenna gave birth to his daughter. "There's nothing better. No gift can compare. And seeing Jenna and how she's been awesome as a mom, just all of it all together. It's so good.' With his financial future set and his family growing, Purdy can now focus on his performance on the field as he and the 49ers try to get back to their 2023 form when Purdy had one of the most prolific passing seasons in team history when he set a franchise record for yards passing (4,280) and became the first Niners QB in more than two decades to throw at least 30 TD passes (31). That helped him finish fourth in the NFL in MVP voting and helped the team reach the Super Bowl before losing in overtime to Kansas City. That success was harder to come by in 2024 as Purdy was hampered by injuries to key offensive players like Christian McCaffrey, Trent Williams and Brandon Aiyuk. His passer rating dropped nearly 17 points to 96.1, he had only 20 TD passes and 12 interceptions on the season, and also came up short in several late-game scenarios when the 49ers had a chance for a comeback win. 'Obviously, there's so much stuff that has happened in my life off the field for sure, but to come in the building and keep it simple and play football, I feel like it's really good for me,' he said. "I come here and I get my mind back on what matters and stepping out on the field and competing and playing the game that I love. Obviously there's a new goal with a new team this year, so there's a chip on all of our shoulders right now so when I come here to work I hone in on what my job is and it feels good. Obviously when I go home it's great seeing my family too.' Purdy has looked like his old self early in camp, even showing off his deep ball when he connected on downfield shots to both Demarcus Robinson and rookie Jordan Watkins in the past week The Niners attempted only 35 passes thrown at least 30 yards downfield the past two seasons — tied for sixth fewest in that span. But Purdy has been extremely efficient when he has taken the opportunity with his 46.9 completion rate ranking first in NFL in that span. 'I think Brock's always had it," coach Kyle Shanahan said. "It's just about recognizing when it's the right look, being able to get your body into it and anticipate it and see it. Deep balls, I think, can be a tough thing when you don't anticipate it, when you don't see it right. I think the more Brock gets used to coverages, the more when to take those shots and when not to is something that's to me where he's improved.' ___ AP NFL:
