No. 4 Notre Dame seeking faster start to season

After a 10-game winning streak to end the regular season couldn't get Notre Dame into last year's College Football Playoff, the fourth-ranked Fighting Irish have vowed to leave no doubt about their worthiness this time. That mission starts with avoiding the early stumbles that dull Marcus ...

No. 6 Indiana turns page on its championship season

No. 6 Indiana understands coach Curt Cignetti's message: It's time to stop talking about last year's incredible, historic national championship run and start pursuing another. Officially, their title defense begins Saturday when North Texas visits Bloomington. But the foundation was created ...
