The Tigers now have won four straight conference championships in the College Football Playoff era, and the rest of the conference is playing catch-up.

Even worse, Washington lost nine starters on defense and Stanford no longer has tailback Bryce Love. The consensus favorite heading into the 2019 season is Oregon, but does anyone really believe the Ducks are in the same class as Clemson, Alabama, Oklahoma or Ohio State? P5 PRIMERS: ACC | B1G | SEC | B12 Until the Pac-12 proves otherwise, skeptics will be easy to find. With that in mind, here’s a look at Sporting News’ way-too-early Pac-12 primer for next season....

The All-Stars are selected primarily via fan votes, as well as player and media votes. Fans tend to be biassed towards their favorite players and ignore the season performances. For example, last season, Stephen Curry and Derrick Rose got an incredible number of votes despite missing time through injury and failing to finish in the top eight places in their respective Conferences. Predicted starting 5 for the Western Conference All-Star selections Some of these players are obvious selections, as superstar athletes and well-known names will be selected even if they have a bad season....

The wide angle lens on the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max doesn’t have stabilisation, so image results are handicapped compared to the phones’ main and telephoto lenses.

Recently, I participated in a 15-round mock set up by Walter Cherepinsky of WalterFootball.com. The 12-team standard draft gave me a perfect opportunity to examine our top 200 standard rankings and see just which players may be overvalued and undervalued by other sharp drafters. After going running back-heavy in my last mock, I wanted to take a more balanced approach for this one. The goal was to target an equal number of backs and receivers through the first eight rounds (if possible) while mostly following our top 200 rankings....

Time spent with a bevy of 2023 Range Rover Sport variants over two days proved that Land Rover remains conspicuously good at hitting the nail right on the head for its stylish but off-road tough image, in all the ways that matter. Of the four Land Rover Range Rover Sport models that will be available to U.S. customers, the company made two available to test drive, the Range Rover Sport First Edition P530 V8 and the Range Rover Sport P400 six-cylinder mild-hybrid....

History repeats itself, as another challenger bites the dust. After weeks of drama that witnessed the thin line between reality and sports entertainment blurring, the streak remains intact; 21-0 it is. Over the years, the Undertaker has had some serious feuds. He has raised hell in a cell, handicapped a team of giants, thrown people into caskets, won the World Heavyweight Championship and ended careers. He has competed with the best of wrestlers; be it the King of Kings HHH or the heart break kid Shawn Michaels, the outcome has always been the same....
