The rematch is set for Saturday night in Texas, as Ohio State makes the 1,234 mile trek to Austin for a rematch with the Longhorns. But more importantly, Steve Sarkisian will have his'semifinals aren't good enough' mantra tested by a Buckeyes team looking to make another Big Ten statement in what is now SEC Country. While the offseason has been filled with questions surrounding whether this is the year Arch Manning takes the next step in becoming one of the best quarterbacks to come out of Austin, the bigger question is whether both Texas and Ohio State can justify spending over $40 million on their 2026 roster.

Joel Klatt on Big Ten vs. SEC, Arch Manning's Heisman hopes | FULL INTERVIEW | The Herd After three straight national championship wins, few would argue that the Big Ten has become the top conference in college football . Three years, three different teams, including a 16-0 season from the Indiana Hoosiers that coaches like Texas' Steve Sarkisian believed were essentially impossible in the modern era. Entering the 2026 season, most believed that the Big Ten would once again be the cream of the college football crop, thanks to Ohio State and Oregon topping the country in most human, and computer, ranking systems.

Arsenal and Chelsea have both made 100% winning starts to the new season - but something has to give when they meet at Emirates Stadium on Sunday. I suspect Chelsea will give Arsenal lots of the ball and try to counter-attack quickly, said BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton. The Blues have got some brilliant creativity in Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers and Joao Pedro, but the fact they are vulnerable at the back could undermine them. Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against AI, BBC Sport readers and a variety of guests. For week three, he takes on Kasabian frontman Serge Pizzorno, who is a Leicester City fan. Kasabian's ninth album, Act III, is out on Friday, 4 September, and they tour the UK in December.

The event featured a flotilla of vessels, ranging from yachts to jet skis, under clear skies and a law enforcement presence. So in 1962, a Knoxville sportscaster named George Mooney actually did something about it -- he got in a ski boat, rode the Tennessee River to Neyland Stadium, tied off to a tree and walked into the game. Sixty-plus years later, sailgating is its own gameday subculture, with dedicated marinas, waitlists longer than season-ticket lines, and fans who'd rather anchor in a lake than fight for a parking spot. You don't need a stadium sitting directly on the water to pull this off -- plenty of these spots involve a walk from the dock -- but these are the ones where the boat crowd is as much a part of Saturday (or Sunday) as the game itself.

The score is Machines 1-0 Humans - at least when it comes to predicting football results, anyway. AI - in this case Microsoft chatbot CoPilot - finished top of the BBC predictions league at the first attempt last season, but will it stay there? BBC Sport football expert Chris Sutton, his guests and the BBC readers will be hoping to strike back, and land a blow for the human race. It was a final-day defeat for me, that is how close I came to the title, Sutton said. But I keep reading how AI models are going rogue and attacking each other. So, was I hacked too? It sounds like cheating to me - if so, then last season should really go down as a victory for me.

Who will win the World Cup? Who will win the 2026 FIFA World Cup? Here's what AI predicts As the 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup enters its final stages, AJLabs asked nine leading AI models to predict the tournament's final podium based on all available data for each team, including: France emerged as the favourite to lift the trophy, receiving five (Gemini, Grock, DeepSeek, Le Chat and Qwen) of the nine champion votes. Argentina, the defending world champions, received the remaining four votes (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot and Meta AI). Predictions for the runner-up were more divided: France and Argentina each received three votes, followed by England with two and Spain with one. Spain was the clear favourite to finish third, receiving six of the nine third-place predictions, while England and France each received fewer votes. The predictions reflect a broad AI consensus around the four remaining contenders, France, Argentina, Spain and England, but also highlight differences in how leading language models weigh recent performances, squad depth and tournament momentum.

A new report warns that Miami, Kansas City, Philadelphia, Dallas, and Houston could be particularly hot places to play during the 2026 World Cup. Extreme heat will be one of the biggest challenges for players and fans during the 2026 FIFA World Cup . According to an analysis by the World Weather Attribution (WWA), around 25 percent of the 104 matches of the tournament could be played under temperatures that exceed the recommended thermal safety limits. The study points out that the probability of facing these conditions is almost double that recorded in the 1994 tournament held in the United States. The projections were developed using a statistical model designed to calculate the probability of each match being played in extremely hot conditions.

It might not feel all that different from older World Cups--for better or worse. Waymo, the Alphabet subsidiary offering robotaxi rides in 11 US metros right now, says it's ready for the FIFA World Cup . Match attendees can catch driverless rides to six of the 16 North American venues: stadiums in Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, and the San Francisco Bay Area. The sprawling football event, expected to attract some 6.5 million visitors to the continent over more than a month, could prove an exciting close-up for Waymo . The company says it's serving half-a-million paid rides a week--paltry stuff compared to the likes of ride-hail giants Uber and Lyft, but more impressive once you remember that the things don't have drivers.

Trump's Border Crackdown Is Wreaking Havoc on the World Cup Travel bans and other visa issues are creating problems for World Cup participants even before the whistle blows. Even before the first whistle blows, the 2026 World Cup --taking place from June 11 to July 19 across the United States, Canada, and Mexico--already has winners and losers away from the field. Here, amidst denied visas, prolonged checks, and contested entries, a parallel competition is emerging where human rights are at stake. This World Cup was meant to be a global celebration of soccer in North America. For the first time in history, the tournament is being held in three different countries, a move meant to unite the entire continent and turn the World Cup into an even more inclusive event.
