Undefeated No. 4 UCLA hosts Illinois in a Big Ten matchup, with a Bruins win giving first-year coach Bob Chesney a 10-0 start and tying the program’s single-season wins record. Illinois enters 6-3 after four consecutive victories, setting up a meeting between UCLA’s dominant season and an Illini team that has recently been effective in close games. Betting previews differ: one favors Illinois against the spread, while another sees more value in the under, citing both teams’ recent defensive form. UCLA is 9-0 overall and 6-0 in conference play; Illinois is 4-2 in the Big Ten.

CFP, ESPN Agree to 24-Team Playoff Expansion

The expansion could bring ESPN an additional $345 million annually, but critics warn that more playoff games could further weaken regular-season viewership and the relevance of bowl games.

NCAA data show student-athletes who transfer multiple times graduate at substantially lower rates than athletes who stay at one school or transfer once: across Division I, six-year graduation rates were 71%, 88% and 81%, respectively. The NCAA says the findings raise concerns about transfer and eligibility policies, while the data describe an association rather than proving transfers cause lower graduation rates.
