Michael Meredith, CBS Sports The 2025 college football season came to a controversial conclusion with the release of the final College Football Playoff Rankings on Selection Sunday, when the CFP Selection Committee revealed the 12-team field that will compete for the 2026 national championship. Indiana overtaking Ohio State for the No. 1 spot may have been surprising — the Hoosiers are atop the college football world for the first time in program history — but decisions further down the rankings had coaches, players, fans and analysts questioning the process.Joining Indiana and No. 2 Ohio State in the top four are…

It can do it all—jazz up a salad, sauté vegetables, add a nice crisp to some noodles, and more. Humans have been using olive oil for about 8,000 years, so archeologists often report olive oil residue on excavated pottery.  However, the prevalence of this wonder food might have been overstated in certain environments. For decades, archeologists may have misidentified olive oil in Mediterranean ceramics, possibly missing other plant oils or mistaking olive…

In late 2023, the South Australian premier’s wife put down a book she had been reading. It was Jonathan Haidt’s The Anxious Generation.“[She] said to me you better bloody do something about this … and then we got to work,” Peter Malinauskas later recalled in an ABC interview.An American social psychologist, Haidt prescribed a social media ban for those aged under 16 as the solution to the mental health ills he believes are caused by the platforms.In Australia he found a willing test subject.A bumper sticker solution?The ban was considered first by the states.

“Had we not gone forth with the film and the Standing in the Gap Fund, she would have been just another dead Black person.” These chilling words were uttered to me recently by Pamela Dias, the mother of Ajike “AJ” Owens, about her daughter. Viewers of the Netflix social-justice sensation The Perfect Neighbor will know Dias from the last few scenes of the film, when she emerges from the tragic haze as the hero who will try to ensure meaning from her daughter’s death in a senseless Stand Your Ground killing. These are dark times for documentaries; only the naive…

Ageing can feel remarkably sudden. One morning you awake to find new aches, or lapses in strength and memory that you could swear were not present just a few days prior. We do not literally age overnight, but as research is increasingly showing, we may not do so in a steady, linear path either.Over the past decade a multitude of studies have suggested that ageing – at least for certain organs and bodily systems – may actually consist of long periods of stability, punctuated by inflection points or periods of rapid biological change.

Residents in the Hyde Park area are expected to live a shocking 14 years less than those…

Audiences returned to Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza in force, turbocharging a traditionally sleepy post-Thanksgiving weekend at the box office. “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2,” the second film inspired by Scott Cawthon’s popular horror game franchise, easily captured first place, opening to $63 million domestically. That topped projections that had the film debuting to between $35 million to $40 million, though it does pale in comparison to the $80 million that “Five Nights at Freddy’s” launched to in 2023. What made that result all the more impressive was that the first film simultaneously debuted in theaters and on Peacock. It went on…

The sale of Versace to Prada this week in a $1.4bn deal marked a new chapter for two storied Italian fashion houses.It also left Versace’s former parent company, Capri Holdings, with an even greater focus on Michael Kors, the 44-year-old brand know as America’s Armani that made up about 70% of sales in its last financial year.Speaking to the Guardian before the launch of his new flagship store on Regent Street in London, Kors said he was concerned that the fashion industry is becoming “more about entertainment and spectacle” and less about customer needs. “When fashion people hear ‘wearable’, they…
