Agutter spells out how Worthing have best chance of winning title
The Rebels boss expects a tough test from Bath City at the Sussex Transport Community Stadium tonight (7.45pm).
A win would take Rebels second in Vanarama National League south, a point behind Dorking Wanderers.
But they will be aware such scripts are not always followed, as was shown against Farnborough last week.
They bounced back on Saturday with a last-gasp win at Chelmsford with Bath were holding Eastbourne Borough to an ugly 0-0 draw.
Agutter said: 'It will be the team that gets us over the line.
'A lot of individuals before Christmas got us into an amazing position.
'Loads of 4-3s and 3-2s and Danny Cashman at Boreham Wood and Jack Spong away at Weston.
'Whereas after Christmas, where we have been on this great run, the team is doing that.
'It will be the team over this final stretch that will give us the best chance to win the league.'.
Tuesday (7.45pm unless stated) Sky Bet League One: Lincoln City v Crawley Town.
Vanarama National League, south: Worthing v Bath City.
Sussex Transport Senior Cup, semi-finals: Eastbourne Borough v Littlehampton (7.30pm, Culver Road).
Isthmian League, premier division: Chatham v Hastings.
Isthmian, south east: East Grinstead v Hythe (7.30pm), Beckenham v Three Bridges, Deal v Steyning.

Jersey Bulls boss grateful for stand-in keeper Jinadu
Jersey Bulls manager Elliot Powell says he is grateful to goalkeeper Daniel Jinadu for helping the club in their first-ever game in the Isthmian League. The 23-year-old former West Ham and Barnsley youngster was called into the starting line-up for the 1-1 draw with Margate with less than an hour's notice. Jersey registered the goalkeeper, who has played non-league football for Welling United and Dover Athletic, after first-choice goalkeeper Euan van der Vliet was injured on Thursday. "Euan tried it in the warm-up and wasn't fit, so we'd pulled Daniel in at last minute on Friday," Powell told BBC Radio Jersey. "We've got our number two keeper at home Pierce (Roche), but Pierce had an important game for St Clement and I think a lot's been said about the relationship between Jersey Bulls and local clubs. "It's really important for us that we didn't impact a local club through no fault of their own less than 24 hours before an important game for them and respect the local game as well." Despite meeting his team-mates and coaches for the first time just a few hours before kick-off, Powell said he was impressed by London-based goalkeeper. "We brought in Daniel as a cover and credit to him, he doesn't know anyone here, he's never met anyone before he came down today," Powell added. "But he was willing to give up his afternoon move things around for us, driven down, turned up, met a bunch of strangers and then 20 minutes into meeting us he's actually starting. "I thought he did well, I thought he came and claimed crosses, a little bit of maybe ring rust there a couple of times with the ball dropping and stuff, but I thought he was really good, really composed and brought a sense of calm to a back line that was under siege at times, but stood firm and got us the point in the end. "We didn't know what we were going to get as a keeper and I'm very happy with how he's performed." Related internet links Jersey Bulls

2025 UNLV Football Predictions: Rebels Ranked 72nd in RJ Young's Ultimate 136
College Football 2025 UNLV Football Predictions: Rebels Ranked 72nd in RJ Young's Ultimate 136 Published Aug. 10, 2025 9:19 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link This isn't your average college football ranking. My Ultimate 136 is a set of rankings that is fluid, but it's my job to look ahead and make a claim for all FBS teams based on what I know and why I know it. Here are the three pressing questions I started by asking when putting together this list: Who do I think is good? Why do I think they're good? What are the chances they will finish above or below my expectations? Here is a look at where UNLV lands in my Ultimate 136. UNLV ranking: 72 Last year's ranking: 69 Top player: RB Jai'den Thomas: Second-team All-Mountain West selection last season, finishing with 918 rushing yards and 7 rushing touchdowns; set the UNLV single-season freshman record with 12 rushing touchdowns in 2023. [UNLV's 2025 schedule] RJ's take: Don't look now, but Dan Mullen made his return to coaching in Las Vegas with one of the best transfer classes in the country on paper. New Rebels include former Michigan QB Alex Orji, Penn State RB Keyvone Lee, Texas WR Troy Omeire, Alabama WR JoJo Earle, LSU WR Koy Moore, Texas State DE Tunmise Adeleye, Texas A&M DB Denver Harris and former Georgia DB Jake Pope. ADVERTISEMENT That's 16 former four-star and five-star players, and with former Urban Meyer and Ryan Day assistant Corey Dennis calling plays, UNLV is the team to watch early in the Group of 6. [ Check out RJ Young's Ultimate 136 College Football Rankings here ] UNLV Win Total Odds: Over 8.5 (+110) Under 8.5 (-134) Have an issue with my rankings?

2025 Ole Miss Football Predictions: Rebels Ranked 14th in RJ Young's Ultimate 136
College Football 2025 Ole Miss Football Predictions: Rebels Ranked 14th in RJ Young's Ultimate 136 Published Aug. 10, 2025 9:14 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link This isn't your average college football ranking. My Ultimate 136 is a set of rankings that is fluid, but it's my job to look ahead and make a claim for all FBS teams based on what I know and why I know it. Here are the three pressing questions I started by asking when putting together this list: Who do I think is good? Why do I think they're good? What are the chances they will finish above or below my expectations? Here is a look at where Ole Miss lands in my Ultimate 136. Ole Miss Rebels ranking: 14 Last year's ranking: 6 Top player: LB Suntarine Perkins: Freshman All-SEC selection in 2023 and Third Team All-SEC selection in 2024; tied for team lead in both sacks (10.5) and TFL (14) last season. [Ole Miss' 2025 schedule] RJ's take: It's Year 6 of the Lane Kiffin Experience in Oxford, and the program has not been this consistently good since a run from 1954-1962. We've made a few changes since that time, like paying players and implementing a playoff system to crown a true national champion. The point is, Kiffin needs a CFP appearance sooner rather than later, or he might just be one of the best coaches never to get there. ADVERTISEMENT Kiffin added former Penn State receiver Trey Wallace to give projected starter Austin Simmons yet another playmaker who can stretch the field vertically. After building a roster capable of making the CFP for the first time last year, the Rebels will look to follow through on their promise in 2025. Remember, Simmons bulldogged the Georgia Bulldogs. He led a 75-yard, 10-play TD drive with starter Jaxson Dart sidelined for a series in their upset of the SEC champs. If Simmons and Wallace can form the kind of tandem Dart and wideout Tre Harris did, Ole Miss might battle for that last spot in the CFP. And the Rebels might need to with back-to-back games on the road at Georgia and Oklahoma to finish October.
