(We'll even recognize one lucky team as the regular-season champion.) The power rankings will be published each Sunday throughout the regular season. (Here are last week's rankings.) On the final night of the final weekend of the regular season, a path into the College Football Playoff opened for the collection of teams that will form the rebuilt Pac-12.

1+ hour, 44+ min ago (593+ words) Jennifer Le Blanc has a rather lofty title for her role on the creative team of TheatreWorks Silicon Valley's production of "Georgiana and Kitty: Christmas at Pemberley," the Jane Austen-inspired play written by Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon. Le Blanc is the "Regency etiquette consultant" on the production, which opens Dec. 3. "Isn't that a great title?" Le Blanc mused. The title is all about helping to build the Austenian world, but when questioned about how she reached such a pedigree, her conclusion is rather simple. "I am not a historian and I am not a dramaturg, but what I am is a very nerdy and very curious actor," Le Blanc said. "In my own acting career, it is probably three-quarters classical work, and I've done a ton of Shakespeare, as well as lots of adaptations of Dickens or Jane Austen....

2+ hour, 16+ min ago (740+ words) SAN FRANCISCO " The Warriors" season flashed before their eyes as Jimmy Butler hung there in midair, parallel to the hardwood below him. Already without Stephen Curry, the Warriors weren"t built to withstand injuries to their pair of $50 million players. So then, it"s a good thing Butler had been there before, his legs out from under him and the only thing between his body and a crash landing being the air beneath the Chase Center basket. With a thud, Butler"s 6-foot-6 frame hit the floor. A short while later, in the postgame locker room following a 104-96 win over the New Orleans Pelicans, the only lasting effect of the potentially catastrophic play was the constant cackle from Draymond Green, endlessly entertained by Butler"s account of the fall " and what padded his landing. "Straight ass, that"s what it…...

3+ hour, 13+ min ago (736+ words) STANFORD " Stanford's 49-20 loss to No. 9 Notre Dame on Saturday night served as a harsh reminder of just how far the Cardinal must climb to compete again with college football's elite. But for the first time in years, the season came to a close with something Stanford has long been seeking: clear signs of progress. The Cardinal ended the 2025 season at 4-8, their highest win total since 2020 and the program's first year-over-year improvement since 2015. They reclaimed the Stanford Axe for the first time in five years, posted a winning home record for the first time since 2018, and fielded a defense that produced its best statistical season in nearly a decade. The year was hardly transformational. But in an era defined by Stanford struggling to adapt to the new college football landscape, it was at least a step. Saturday's game at Stanford Stadium…...
