College football winners, losers in Week 14: South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers shines, Miami can’t close

Rivalry week lived up to the billing as several of the top teams in the country were dragged down by their respective arch-nemesis. No. 2 Ohio State and No. 6 Miami lost stunners, while No. 7 Georgia and No. 8 Tennessee needed late comebacks to pull away from far lesser opponents.

The chaos had a major impact on the conference title races. Penn State will now play in the Big Ten Championship Game instead of Ohio State, while Clemson made it to the ACC title game after Miami’s loss.

The night slate brings more potential for upheaval. No. 3 Texas travels to Kyle Field to play No. 20 Texas A&M in a historic matchup. With wins, No. 18 Iowa State and No. 19 BYU have openings to the Big 12 Championship Game. Here are the biggest winners and losers of college football’s Week 14.

Loser: Ohio State coach Ryan Day

Ohio State was a four-score favorite against its hated rival. Michigan was down their two best players. The Buckeyes had the more talented roster by a massive margin. Ohio State athletic director Ross Bjork confirmed that the program spent more than $20 million in the NIL market to assemble this team. It didn’t matter. Michigan shocked Ohio State 13-10 after a late field goal from Dominic Zvada to pick up one of the most devastating losses in modern Ohio State history.

Day may return next season as Ohio State’s coach and the Buckeyes still technically have a chance to win the national championship as they should still make the playoff. Still, there are three expectations in Columbus: Beat Michigan, win the Big Ten and win the national championship. Day has now whiffed on the first two in four straight seasons. If he doesn’t win the national championship this year, he could very soon be out of a job.

South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers has been one of the rising stars in the sport, but his performance in a 17-14 win over No. 12 Clemson will put him firmly on the national map. Sellers threw for 164 yards and rushed for 166 and two touchdowns to pull the upset victory at Death Valley. Sellers had a game-winning 20-yard run with 1:08 remaining that will go down as one of the biggest runs in South Carolina history. There’s no guarantee that the Gamecocks find their way into the College Football playoff, but Norris’s Herculean effort at least gives them a chance.

Loser: Miami

All Miami had to do was survive Syracuse. More, all the ‘Canes really had to do was maintain 21-0 lead they took early in the second quarter and they would be essentially a lock to play for the national championship. Instead, another poor game management decision from Mario Cristobal proved costly in a 42-38 loss against the Orange.

Cristobal opted to kick a field goal from the 10-yard line with 3:42 remaining in the game despite trailing by seven points. The Hurricanes did not get the ball back again as the defense failed to get Syracuse off the field. Now, Miami has no control of its CFP fate and will be in a battle with teams like Alabama and South Carolina to make the field. It’s a total failure and could prove to be the end of the season for the best Miami passing offense in school history.

Loser: SEC title contenders

The good news for the top of the SEC is most of its top contenders ultimately pulled off victories in tight rivalry week games. However, none of them looked anywhere near national championship caliber during a miserable 24-hour stretch on Friday and Saturday.

No. 7 Georgia looked miserable in a 44-42 win over Georgia Tech that went to eight overtimes, the second-most in college football history. The Bulldogs needed 21 points in the fourth quarter just to give themselves a chance. No. 8 Tennessee similarly got off to a slow start against Vanderbilt, going down 17-7 in the first quarter before finally turning things on. No. 14 Ole Miss needed a late fourth quarter touchdown to pull away for a 26-14 win over a horrendous Mississippi State team.

Ultimately, the performances probably won’t hurt the SEC’s place in the College Football Playoff, but it certainly didn’t help.

Sitting at 2-4, Baylor coach Dave Aranda seemed dead to rights. The Bears faced a tall task just to make a bowl game. Instead, the Bears are suddenly the hottest team in the Big 12. Baylor shocked Kansas 45-17 to cap off a six-game winning streak and clinch an eight-win season for the first time since 2021. The Bears won’t get the tiebreaker luck they need to reach the Big 12 title game, but Baylor is playing as well as anyone in the conference.

Quarterback Sawyer Robertson (23 for 31 for 310 yards and four touchdowns) and running back Bryson Washington (28 carries for 192 yards and two touchdowns) have been the breakout stars of the run and present Aranda some serious building blocks. The Bears will have a serious case to be a preseason Big 12 favorite in 2024.

Loser: The AAC

No. 17 Tulane was perhaps the biggest winner of the last CFP Rankings after sitting at No. 17, ahead of multiple two-loss Big 12 teams. If Arizona State lost, there was a serious chance that Tulane could get into the CFP over the Big 12 champion as the fifth conference champion.

Instead, the Green Wave were unprepared for the moment and lost against Memphis 34-24 to pick up a third loss and likely risk their spot in the top 25. Tulane rushed for only 57 yards and gave up 242 yards on the ground, including 177 to running back Mario Anderson. Instead of being the hunter, Tulane is in rough shape as both Boise State and UNLV are likely to finish ahead of the AAC champ in the rankings.

Miami, SMU make top-10 moves in AP college football poll after chaotic weekend

Alabama and Mississippi tumbled out of the top 10 of The Associated Press Top 25 poll Sunday, and Miami and SMU moved in following a chaotic weekend in the SEC and across college football in general.

Oregon is No. 1 for the sixth straight week, and Ohio State, Texas, and Penn State held their places behind the Ducks, who are the last unbeaten team.

The shuffling begins at No. 5, where Notre Dame returned for the first time since Week 2 after beating Army for its ninth straight win.

No. 6 Georgia moved up two spots, No. 7 Tennessee and No. 8 Miami each got a three-rung promotion, and No. 9 SMU jumped four places for its first top-10 ranking since 1985. SMU has clinched a spot in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game and will play Miami, if the Hurricanes win at Syracuse this week, or No. 12 Clemson.

Indiana dropped from No. 5 to No. 10 following its first loss, a 38-15 defeat at Ohio State. The Buckeyes would play Oregon in the Big Ten championship game if they beat Michigan this Saturday for the first time in four years.

The Southeastern Conference’s hopes for landing four spots in the College Football Playoff took a hit with two of their teams losing as double-digit favorites. Texas, Georgia, and Tennessee are the only SEC teams with fewer than three losses after Alabama lost, 24-3, at Oklahoma and Mississippi lost, 24-17, at Florida.

Alabama and Mississippi each dropped six spots in the AP poll, the Crimson Tide to No. 13 and the Rebels to No. 15.

Texas A&M was the third SEC team to lose, 43-41, at Auburn in four overtimes. The Aggies tumbled five places to No. 20, but would play Georgia in the SEC championship game if they knock off Texas this week.

Losses by BYU and Colorado created a four-way tie for first in the Big 12.

No. 14 Arizona State, picked to finish last in the conference, handed BYU its second straight loss and is the highest-ranked Big 12 team. No. 17 Iowa State earned a five-rung promotion with its win at Utah. BYU is No. 19 and Colorado, which lost to Kansas, is No. 23.

If the four teams each finish 7-2 in conference play, it’s Iowa State vs. Arizona State in the Big 12 championship game.

No. 11 Boise State is first among the four ranked Group of Five teams. The Broncos got a one-spot bump despite struggling to beat a two-win Wyoming team. Tulane is No. 18, UNLV is No. 21, and Army is No. 25.

Boise State’s ranking is its highest since it was No. 8 in the final poll of the 2011 season. Arizona State’s ranking is its highest since it was No. 12 in the final poll of the 2014 season.

College football winners, losers in Week 11: Colorado continues quiet success, Miami falls back in ACC race

Every week, more national championship contenders keep going down. In the early windows of Week 11 on Saturday, No. 3 Georgia and No. 4 Miami were toppled and will now subsequently slide down the list of College Football Playoff contenders. An underdog of more than 10 points has won every week of the year, making this a truly unique season to this point.

Miami’s loss shakes up the ACC race down the stretch as SMU now takes sole possession of first place in the conference. Additionally, the Big 12 race received a major shakeup as Iowa State lost a shocker against Kansas, leaving Colorado as an unlikely contender.

More movement could happen Saturday night as key ranked teams are in action. No. 11 Alabama travels to No. 15 LSU in a monster SEC battle. No. 24 Missouri hosts Oklahoma in a must-win game. No. 6 Penn State also faces an interesting challenge as Washington comes to town.

Here now are the biggest winners and losers of Week 11 as we get into the primetime action.

Rebels coach Lane Kiffin has long been criticized for losing big games, but Saturday was a cathartic moment. After falling short twice this season, Ole Miss finally put together its best performance of the year in a 28-10 thrashing of No. 3 Georgia. The Rebels’ defense got five sacks on Carson Beck and a hobbled Jaxson Dart was still able to lead Ole Miss to 397 yards.

The upset victory is a huge swing for Ole Miss’ season. Suddenly, the Rebels have a serious path to the College Football Playoff despite two losses. A loss would have officially ended their chances. It can’t hurt that South Carolina should have a chance to enter the poll after beating Vanderbilt; Ole Miss crushed the Gamecocks 27-3.

Loser: Miami

The Hurricanes have been playing with fire for weeks, and it finally burned them against a physical Georgia Tech team. The Yellow Jackets simply bullied Miami, rushing for 271 yards and holding them to only 3.7 yards per carry despite losing top running back Justice Haynes to an injury. Miami quarterback Cameron Ward was his normal, sensational self, but 348 yards and three touchdowns weren’t enough.

Miami’s loss suddenly pushes them back into the field of the ACC Championship Game race. Clemson and Pittsburgh are fellow one-loss teams in conference play and the Tigers have the inside track past Miami to play for an ACC title because of strength of schedule. Miami should still be in the top 12 on Tuesday, but their spot could be perilous right as multiple teams fight their way up the rankings.

Winner: Colorado

Once the loudest team in college football, the Buffaloes might be the quietest College Football Playoff contender in the sport. Colorado moved to 7-2 and sole possession of No. 2 in the Big 12 after outlasting Texas Tech 41-27 in a key road victory. After the win, Colorado is now projected to reach the Big 12 Championship Game against BYU.

The Buffaloes are quietly one of the greatest success stories of the season after leaning on a passing combo of Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter and a wildly underrated defensive front. Colorado ranks top 25 nationally in sacks and dragged down Texas Tech’s Behren Morton six times. CU will be favored in its three remaining games.

After a miserable start to the season, UCLA is quietly the owner of a three-game winning streak against quality opponents. The Bruins beat Rutgers and Nebraska on the road in the past two weeks and capped it off with a 20-17 shocker against Iowa behind a pair of second quarter touchdown passes by quarterback Ethan Garbers. UCLA held Iowa to only 17 points and 265 yards after the Hawkeyes averaged 35.5 points over their previous four games.

UCLA entered the season with a five-game losing streak against power conference competition, but beating Iowa suddenly means their season is alive. The Bruins have a game left against Fresno State and must steal only one against either Washington or USC to make a bowl game. Even getting to this point after a tumultuous offseason is a rousing success for coach DeShaun Foster in his first season. Credit to him.

Needless to say, a 49-17 loss to Texas was not how Florida hoped to start the revamped Billy Napier era. Granted, the Gators started walk-on quarterback Aidan Warner after DJ Lagway was ruled out with a hamstring injury, but Texas cleared 350 yards in the first half and averaged 8.8 yards per play on the day.

And really, the final score doesn’t quite embody the level of dominance. Texas led 42-0 halfway through the third quarter before pulling essentially every contributor. Florida made the decision to bring Napier back knowing that there could be some frustrating performances ahead against a brutal closing schedule, but Week 11 showed many of the reasons why Florida fans weren’t exactly thrilled that Napier was retained.

Yes, No. 25 Army held on to beat North Texas 14-3 in Denton and move to 9-0, but that’s secondary. The real reason the Black Knights are winners is because they put together one of the most deranged drives in college football history. On their second drive of the third quarter, Army went an absurd 21 plays in 94 yards over the course of nearly 14 minutes (13:54 to be exact). The drive took more than 28 minutes of real time and ended with Army staying undefeated and bottling up an explosive offense. The longest drive on record was a 26-play drive that lasted 14:26 by Navy in the 2004 Emerald Bowl against New Mexico. If only North Texas could have gotten one or two more stops.

Drive Home to the Clouds at Bentley Residences Miami

Bentley Residences Miami offers unprecedented luxury living with sky-high garages, allowing residents to park their cars directly in their apartments.

Bentley Motors has unveiled plans for an extraordinary residential tower in Miami that promises to redefine opulent urban living.

The Bentley Residences Miami, slated for completion in 2026, will offer an unprecedented amenity that is set to revolutionise high-end city dwelling – the ability for residents to park their prized vehicles directly inside their sky-high apartments, courtesy of an innovative car lift system dubbed the ‘Dezervator’.

Bentley Residences Miami: A New Paradigm in Luxury Living

Rising 61 storeys above the pristine sands of Sunny Isles Beach, the Bentley Residences Miami represents the iconic British automaker’s grand entrance into the world of branded real estate. This ambitious project, developed in partnership with Dezer Development, aims to translate Bentley’s renowned craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail from the road to the home.

Bentley’s trademark diamond motif is incorporated into the tower’s façade, which is expected to become a defining feature of the Miami skyline. Nevertheless, the Bentley Residences Miami’s interior features are what truly distinguish this development from other luxury condominiums in the region.

The ‘Dezervator’: Bentley Residences Miami’s Crown Jewel

At the heart of the Bentley Residences Miami’s unique offering is the ‘Dezervator’, a revolutionary elevator system that allows residents to ascend directly to their apartments whilst comfortably seated in their vehicles.

This cutting-edge technology, named after Bentley’s development partner Dezer Development, epitomises the fusion of engineering prowess and lifestyle luxury that is synonymous with the Bentley brand.

Gil Dezer, President of Dezer Development, elaborated on the concept: “The Dezervator at Bentley Residences Miami is more than just a car lift – it’s a complete reimagining of the arrival experience. Residents can drive straight into their private garages without ever having to step out of their vehicles. It’s the pinnacle of convenience and security.”

The system utilises a sophisticated hydraulic mechanism that meticulously grasps a vehicle by its tires and elevates it onto a mechanised shuttle.

The shuttle then transports the vehicle and its occupants to the appropriate floor of Bentley Residences Miami, all within a glass-enclosed tunnel that provides awe-inspiring views of the building’s communal areas during the voyage.

Unrivalled Automotive Accommodation at Bentley Residences Miami

Upon reaching their desired floor at Bentley Residences Miami, residents will find themselves in a private garage capable of housing up to four vehicles. These in-unit garages come complete with the option for EV charging points, catering to the growing trend towards electric mobility without compromising on space for classic or combustion engine cars.

This unique feature of Bentley Residences Miami allows car enthusiasts to keep their prized collections close at hand, protected from the elements and potential security risks. It’s a level of automotive accommodation that has never before been seen in residential development, particularly one that reaches such impressive heights.

Cutting-Edge Technology Meets Luxurious Design at Bentley Residences Miami

The commitment to seamless technological integration at Bentley Residences Miami extends beyond the Dezervator. Each resident’s vehicle will be fitted with an RFID sticker, which is automatically scanned upon arrival at the building. This triggers a sophisticated lighting system that guides the driver to the correct Dezervator for their floor.

“The technology in place at Bentley Residences Miami recognises this ID and takes residents directly to their residence, without the driver having to exit their vehicle or even press a button,” a spokesperson for Bentley Motors explained.

This hands-free, effortless journey from street to suite exemplifies the level of thought and engineering that has gone into every aspect of the Bentley Residences Miami.
