The College Football Playoff selection committee has released its first two 2026 rankings, and fans are arguing about them. On November 10 it put Alabama (7-2) at No. 3, ahead of undefeated UCLA (9-0), after placing a 7-1 Notre Dame at No. 11 the week before even though the AP poll had the Irish at No. 4. The committee says it rewards teams that played harder opponents, which often favors schools from the SEC conference. Critics say the criteria change from team to team and that undefeated teams are being punished for things they can't control. The rankings matter because only 12 teams make the playoff and the top four skip the first round, with the final bracket set on December 6. #College_Football #CFP_Rankings #College_Football_Playoff

On the eve of the November 3 midterms, the Justice Department sued Alaska election officials to try to stop the state from certifying its Senate results if Republican incumbent Dan Sullivan loses under the state's ranked-choice voting system. The DOJ argues an independent candidate who shares a name with Sullivan could confuse voters, but election law experts have called the legal theory extremely weak. President Trump confirmed he personally pushed for the lawsuit, saying "I'm the one that said do it." It's part of a wider wave of Trump-era DOJ lawsuits this election season, including a separate fight in California over roughly 20,000 ballots the administration claims were cast by noncitizens. Democrats have countersued, accusing the administration of intimidating election officials nationwide. Control of the Senate could hinge on just this one Alaska race. #Midterm_Elections #Alaska_Senate
