"Under Coach Nightingale's guidance, Michigan State has returned to its position as one of the elite programs in college hockey, creating incredible excitement both within the hockey community and throughout all of our loyal supporters. Coming off back-to-back Big Ten Championships, there's a buzz that even greater things are on the horizon.

Who Clemson would have played in 2024 under new College Football Playoff seeding format
CLEMSON — The College Football Playoff will undergo another change after expanding from four teams to 12 last season. The College Football Playoff Management Committee voted May 22 to move to a straight-seeing format, where teams will be seeded Nos. 1 through 12 based on the selection committee's rankings. Advertisement Last year's structure allowed the top four seeds to be determined by the highest-ranked conference champions, allowing lower-ranked teams (Boise State, Arizona State) to land byes over teams that were ranked higher (Texas, Penn State). Now, teams will be seeded in the order they are ranked with the top four seeds earning a bye in the quarterfinals. Conference champions will still get automatic bids but will be seeded based on rankings. Clemson football made the CFP last year after winning the ACC championship to snap its three-year drought. It was a No. 12 seed and faced No. 5 seed Texas in the first round in Austin. The Longhorns beat the Tigers 38-24 to advance to the second round to face No. 4 seed Arizona State in the Peach Bowl Here's how Clemson's CFP path would have changed with the new seeding format. Clemson's 2024 CFP path under new seeding format Clemson would have remained the No. 12 seed after winning the ACC because the selection committee ranked the Tigers at No. 16. However, the Tigers would have faced No. 5 seed Notre Dame. The winner would face No. 4 seed Penn State in the Peach Bowl in the quarterfinals. Advertisement Clemson and Notre Dame have a storied rivalry, playing each other eight times with the Tigers leading the all-time series 5-3. The Fighting Irish are 2-1 at home vs. Clemson, winning the previous two matchups in 2020 and 2022. Clemson's lone road win came in 1979. Both have combined for 10 CFP appearances, including two national championships for Clemson and a championship berth for Notre Dame last season. They also agreed to an annual home-and-home football series starting in 2027 that will run for 12 years. SUCCESS: How much Clemson grossed in alcohol sales at Savannah Bananas, spring football, baseball, softball Here's how the rest of the CFP schedule would have looked under the new format: Advertisement No. 1 Oregon (Big Ten champion), No. 2 Georgia (SEC champion), No. 3 Texas (SEC at-large team) and No. 4 Penn State (Big Ten at-large) would have earned first-round byes. Oregon would have faced the winner of a first-round matchup between No. 8 Indiana (Big Ten at-large) and No. 9 Boise State (Group of 5 conference champion). Georgia would have faced the winner of a first-round matchup between No. 7 Tennessee (SEC at-large) and No. 10 SMU (ACC at-large). Texas would have faced the winner of a first-round matchup between No. 6 Ohio State (Big Ten at-large) and No. 11 Arizona State (Big 12 champion). Penn State would have faced the winner of a first-round matchup between No. 5 Notre Dame (independent at-large) and No. 12 Clemson (ACC champion).

Chicago Cubs' Tyson Miller to Rejoin Triple-A Iowa or Elect Free Agency
Chicago Cubs' Tyson Miller to Rejoin Triple-A Iowa or Elect Free Agency originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Chicago Cubs right-handed pitcher Tyson Miller has cleared waivers and can either elect free agency or stay with Triple-A Iowa, according to the transactions log. Advertisement Miller has already had a productive season for Iowa, with a 2.77 ERA over 12 games and 13 innings. However, despite those results, the Cubs felt there was no spot for him on the Big League roster. Chicago did get an up-close and personal look at Miller last summer when he rejoined the team in May. Over 49 outings and 50 and 1/3 innings, Miller impressed with a 2.15 ERA, a 3.62 FIP, and 42 strikeouts to 10 walks. Chicago Cubs pitcher Tyson Miller (49) throws a pitch against the Hanshin Tigers during the fourth inning at Tokyo Yamashita-Imagn Images Those 49 games represent a significant chunk of his MLB tenure (74 career appearances, 93 innings). A fourth-round selection in the 2016 Draft by the Cubs, Miller also pitched in two games during the 2020 COVID season before various stops around the country, including the Texas Rangers, the Milwaukee Brewers, and the Seattle Mariners. Advertisement Chicago should feel good about its bullpen with or without Miller, as they ranked sixth in the Majors with a combined ERA of 3.31. Porter Hodge may be on the 15-day injured list, but his 5.12 ERA and 4.17 FIP were underwhelming. Meanwhile, Daniel Palencia (1.96 ERA, 2.73 FIP, five saves), Brad Keller (1.99 ERA, 2.20 FIP), Ryan Pressly (3.96 ERA, 3.88 FIP), and Caleb Thielbar (1.85 ERA, 2.50 FIP) have sneakily formed one of their better four reliever groups in baseball. Hopefully for the Cubs, Miller chooses to stay with the organization and continue to hone his already solid stuff.
