Formula 1 heads back to Canada after the coronavirus pandemic axed the last two years’ races at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve, and there’s a wave of red coming to the Great White North.

That’s because there are only two races left before the Championship Round of 4. Joey Logano already nabbed a spot in the championship, overcoming a less-than-ideal pit stop with about 30 laps to go to take the checkered flag at Las Vegas....

With three open spots for a place in the Championship 4 at Phoenix — Joey Logano already clinched the fourth — action should be intense in the final laps.

The 14th-ranked Cowboys remain the lone team in the conference with one loss or fewer, meaning it is the only team in the conference with even a remote chance at making the 2020 College Football Playoff. Enter 18th-ranked Oklahoma, which has not lost in the Bedlam series since 2014. The Sooners are widely considered touchdown favorites over their rivals, and their recent play has justified that confidence. The Sooners (5-2, 4-2 Big 12) have scored at least 30 points in every game this year and, since suffering consecutive losses in Weeks 4 and 5, have averaged 52....

Brady spent the first 20 years of his career with the Patriots before leaving to join the Buccaneers during the spring of 2020.

However, if the Spartans can build offensive momentum against the Nittany Lions’ defense, they will have a chance to earn a win at home for their final matchup of the season....
