After the first College Football Playoff reveal of the 2026 season on Tuesday, it's officially crunch time. The Week 10 slate could help determine that postseason picture. No. 1 Miami will try to remain perfect in its toughest test yet, visiting No. 11 Notre Dame. In the SEC, there are, essentially, a slew of elimination games. No. 5 Alabama, No. 6 Kentucky, No. 7 Texas and No. 10 Ole Miss are all facing ranked opponents. If any pick up another loss, that could push them out one week after being included in the CFP field. Then in the Big Ten, No. 8 UCLA will try to stay on course for a playoff appearance, playing at Minnesota on "Big Noon Kickoff." In just one week, the 12-team CFP could look completely different. We’re breaking down our straight-up picks and the matchups to watch closely throughout the weekend. When: Friday, 7:00 p.m. ET (ESPN)Where: Gerald J. Ford Stadium, Dallas, TexasLine: SMU -6 RJ Young: SMUI don't think the Mustangs' Week 9 loss to Syracuse will linger. Laken Litman: SMUSMU rebounds from a crushing defeat at Syracuse. Ben Portnoy: Virginia TechIt's been a weird year in Blacksburg, but I like what the Hokies' offense has done in spurts. SMU has been playing with fire and got burned last week. I think Virginia Tech springs another upset. When: Saturday, noon ET (FOX)Where: Huntington Bank Stadium, Minneapolis, MinnesotaLine: UCLA -5.5 Young: UCLAWhile Minnesota's performance was good last week against Indiana, the better quarterback is UCLA's Ty Dieffenbach in this matchup. Litman: UCLAUCLA keeps its perfect record intact on the road against a pesky Gophers team. Portnoy: MinnesotaI know last week's overtime loss to Indiana was an absolute heartbreaker, but Minnesota's played enough physical, low-scoring football games they've got to win one eventually, right? Give me a big-time Gophers bounce back. When: Saturday, noon ET (ABC)Where: Rice-Eccles Stadium, Salt Lake City, UtahLine: Utah -5.5 Young: BYUThis is a must-win game for the Cougars to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive. Litman: UtahUtah keeps its undefeated season alive in this year's Holy War and proves it's the team to beat in the Big 12. Portnoy: UtahBYU beat Notre Dame without running back LJ Martin, but Utah has looked like a world beater in recent weeks. Couple that with a Cougars squad that has felt banged-up post-Notre Dame, and I think the Utes win what is maybe… [TheTopNews] Read More.49 mins ago - High fashion descends on Sydney as Margot Robbie flashes her underwear in sheer ...

In the Netherlands many felt the move, while welcome, was mishandled and exclusionary, mirroring past inequalityAndy Burnham’s pledge to seek a “structured dialogue” with former colonies to help shape Britain’s first formal state apology for slavery marks the UK’s first tentative step down a path the Netherlands set out on five years ago.The prime minister’s attempts to initiate a historic shift alongside the royal family – whose customary expressions of “profound personal sorrow”, falling short of an apology, was repeated by King Charles this week – echo a process begun by the Dutch state in 2021.

But … Republicanism – often we hear it’s about fiscal responsibility, limited government, a strong defense, and personal civil liberties, and let’s say conservative values in some ways. And Democrats – if you think about what they stand for, it’s education, it’s the vulnerable, it’s social safety nets, it’s a progressive spirit that’s trying to lift people up. And I said: if you think about those two, which sounds more like Jesus in the gospels? Continue reading... [TheTopNews] Read More.49 mins ago
