KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Missouri's impressive 36-7 win over Tennessee helped them jump five spots in the latest AP college football poll. The Tigers rise from 16 to 11 was the highest jump of any team in the country. The Vols fell to 21, the biggest fall of any team in the country. Mizzou is also second in the SEC East, out of the SEC championship race but could appear in a New Year's Six bowl if they continue their winning ways at 8-2. Kansas State re-entered the poll at 23 after dominating Baylor 59-25, replacing Kansas. Kansas dropped out of the poll from 19 after a 16-13 loss to unranked Texas Tech at home but they received 82 votes heading into a primetime Sunflower Showdown matchup on Saturday in Lawrence.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:06:59 GMT

The Colorado Avalanche is dealing with its first significant bit of short-term injury-induced adversity, but there is clarity with one of its long-term concerns.Pavel Francouz will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season, the club announced Sunday. He has not been on the ice with the team this season. Francouz, originally projected to be the No. 2 goaltender behind Alexandar Georgiev, played in only one of the team’s final 33 games last season and had offseason surgery.Francouz has been a successful goalie for the Avs when healthy, but remaining so has been difficult. He’ll be an unrestricted free agent after this season. He joins Gabriel Landeskog on the list of players who will not return this season, though there could be a long-shot hope that the club’s captain might make it back at some point during the Stanley Cup Playoffs.Related ArticlesColorado Avalanche | Hockey Heals provides community, love for players facing life-threatening adversity: R...

I’m not looking to trade Derek Morris. If I’m going to trade a defenseman like that, I’m going to need a really good player back.’ We were looking to bolster our center position, so I said Chris Drury’s name.“Pierre goes, ‘Oh, Craig, oh no. … I can’t trade Chris Drury.’ ...
