CBS Sports puts Georgia on upset watch in October matchup with Auburn
CBS Sports puts Georgia on upset watch in October matchup with Auburn Will this season be the year that Auburn snaps its lengthy losing streak to Georgia?
Auburn football is in dire need of a successful season in 2025, one that hopefully ends with the snapping of a lengthy losing streak to an archrival.
Auburn football has dropped eight-straight games to Georgia, dating back to Dec. 2, 2017, when the Bulldogs beat Auburn in the SEC Championship Game, 28-7. It is the longest current losing streak Auburn owns, and CBS Sports feels Auburn's rough patch could end this season.
Brad Crawford of CBS Sports recently listed his "biggest potential college football upsets" for the 2025 college football season, and has placed the Bulldogs on high alert for their game on Oct. 11 at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Crawford feels this could be a "trap game" for Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs, while detailing the magnitude of the game for Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze.
Sandwiched between home games with Kentucky and Ole Miss, the reigning SEC champions go to the Plains in mid-October in hopes of continuing their recent dominance in the rivalry series. For Hugh Freeze, this home game is as big as they come. Georgia has won eight straight against Auburn, dating back to a victory in the 2017 SEC Championship. The Tigers upended the Bulldogs a few weeks prior during the regular season, but that's the program's last win over Kirby Smart.
Auburn's last win over Georgia came on Nov. 11, 2017, at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Auburn quarterback Jarrett Stidham passed for 214 yards and three touchdowns while Kerryon Johnson rushed for 167 yards in the Tigers' 40-17 upset of the No. 1 Georgia Bulldogs in the top-10 showdown. Auburn is 3-13 against Georgia since 2010 and is 7-19 against the Bulldogs since 2000. Before the millennium, Auburn built a 5-4-1 record against Georgia in the 1990s; however, Georgia's recent dominance has allowed them to create separation in the all-time series as they now lead, 65-56-8.

Texas A&M 2026 4-star WR commit has shut down his recruitment
Texas A&M 2026 4-star WR commit has shut down his recruitment This weekend was critical for Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko and his staff, who hosted 18 prospects from the 2026 recruiting class, including six commitments, led by four-star running back Jonathan Hatton and four-star wide receiver Aaron Gregory, who are both borderline five-star prospects with productive college careers ahead of them. Keeping track of commits has been more challenging in today's NIL-based college football landscape. Still, after the House v. NCAA settlement was officially approved on Friday evening, schools will work with an average of $20.5 million of their revenue to share with their collegiate athletes. For Texas A&M, football, basketball, and baseball will take the majority of the funds. For football prospects looking to play at the Power 4 level, NIL has created a relatively fair playing field. Once a recruit is set on their future destination, shutting down future visits is a definite sign of what we in the industry call a "hard" commitment. On Saturday, just hours after Jonathan Hatton confirmed his commitment, Aaron Gregory followed suit. Amid the smoke regarding the Texas Longhorns attempting to flip Gregory, the elite pass catcher has reportedly shut down his commitment, taking to X with an official post detailing his reasoning for sticking with the Aggies moving forward: "Why Texas A&M? Why not?" "I chose the right program that I see fits me and my playing style the best! Everyone thinks it's about money. I have a REAL RELATIONSHIP with all thte coaches. Coach (Mike) Elko, Trooper (Taylor), (Holmon) Wiggins, and the rest of the staff had a relationship with me for some time now!" "I AM COMMITTED TO TEXAS A&M. The community, fans and the team have welcomed me and my family with open arms. It's time to help build this 2026 class and become a LEGEND at Texas A&M." Posting a video on X to confirm his further commitment, Gregory's dedication to helping build the remainder of Texas A&M's 2026 recruiting class aligns with Mike Elko's recent comments regarding the strong foundation the program has established over the last year. According to 247Sports Composite, Gregory is the 66th-ranked prospect in the 2026 class, the 8th-ranked wide receiver, and the 7th-ranked prospect in Georgia.

Kyle Johnson's epic performance lifts Duke past Murray State in super regional Game 1
Kyle Johnson's epic performance lifts Duke past Murray State in super regional Game 1 Oh he's so back 😏 B3 Duke, 2 | MSU, 2#BlueCollar — Duke Baseball (@DukeBASE) June 7, 2025 Duke baseball is one win away from its first College World Series appearance in program history after dispatching Murray State 7-4 in Game 1 of the Durham Super Regional on Saturday afternoon. The Blue Devils fell behind early in the game, trailing 2-0 entering the bottom of the third. Unfortunately for the Racers, it was Kyle Johnson's day, and the sophomore two-way player got the scoring started for Duke with a two-run shot in the bottom frame of the third to tie the game up. Johnson wasn't done there, as he hit RBI doubles in the fourth and sixth to extend the lead. He ultimately finished 4 for 4 at the plate while batting five runs in during a breakout performance. 2 RBI double for @KyleJohnson555 to take the lead‼️ B4 Duke, 4 | MSU, 2 — Duke Baseball (@DukeBASE) June 7, 2025 Murray State attempted a rally in the seventh, cutting Duke's lead to 7-4 with an RBI single and a sacrifice fly, but the Blue Devils' pitching was ultimately too strong. After starter Owen Proksch allowed just two runs with five strikeouts in 5.2 innings, Reid Easterly came in to finish the game and ultimately earned the save while tossing three shutout frames. Huge punch out for Easterly to head to the bottom of the 7th 💪💪 — Duke Baseball (@DukeBASE) June 7, 2025 With the victory, Duke takes a 1-0 lead in the super regional and could punch its ticket to Omaha with a win in Game 2 on Sunday. Coach Chris Pollard's team will look to do just that when they face the Racers again at noon ET Sunday.
