Baylors blackout turned into a wipeout on Saturday.The No. 17 Bears wore black uniforms for their rivalry game against TCU at McLane Stadium, but it was far from enjoyable. The Horned Frogs blasted the Bears 62-22, handing Baylor its worst home loss since 2005.After winning its first six games under acting coach Jim Grobe, Baylor has now dropped consecutive games, and its season is suddenly spinning out of control. Tailback Shock Linwood reportedly shoved assistant coach Tate Wallis on the sideline Saturday and didnt play again.The Bears were one of four teams eliminated from consideration for the College Football Playoff by The Eliminator this week. After 10 weeks of the 2016 season, weve eliminated 113 of the 128 FBS teams from consideration, leaving 15 teams in contention for the four playoff spots with four weeks to play.Heres where the FBS stands after Week 10:Jump to sections: Whos in??| Still in contention | On the fence | Better luck next season | Previously eliminatedWhos in?The CFP selection committee threw us a nasty curveball in its initial rankings last week by putting Texas A&M in the No. 4 spot, ahead of undefeated Washington. That probably wont last long after the Aggies fell hard in a 35-28 loss at unranked Mississippi State on Saturday. No. 1 Alabama should maintain the top spot after shutting out LSU 10-0 on the road for its 21st consecutive victory. Clemson and Michigan also seem safe just below the Crimson Tide after winning by 54 and 56 points, respectively. Washington seems to be the most likely team to jump into the top four after routing California 66-27 on Saturday night. Unless, of course, the committee favors No. 6 Ohio States or No. 7 Louisvilles overall bodies of work.Still in contentionAlabama Crimson TideTrending: UPCome on, LSU. Dont you think its time to erect a statue of Nick Saban somewhere outside Tiger Stadium?Clemson TigersTrending: UPAfter demolishing Syracuse 54-0 at Death Valley on Saturday, the Tigers became the latest FBS team to celebrate with the Mannequin Challenge. In other words, they stood around like Texas Techs defense.Louisville CardinalsTrending: UPLouisville coach Bobby Petrino was so upset that the Cardinals were only No. 7 in the initial CFP rankings, he suggested they should have scored 80 points in an early-season rout over Florida State. Or maybe the Cardinals shouldnt have given up 42 against Clemson.Michigan WolverinesTrending: UPThe Wolverines have three 50-point victories over Hawaii, Rutgers and Maryland this season, which is as many as Michigan had in seven seasons combined under former coaches Rich Rodriguez and Brady Hoke.Ohio State BuckeyesTrending: UPIt could be worse, Cornhuskers. At least you didnt lose to the Buckeyes by 59 points when they were starting their No. 3 quarterback.Washington HuskiesTrending: UPThe selection committee will probably flip a coin to decide whether Ohio State or Louisville will be ranked ahead of the Huskies for the No. 4 spot this week.On the fenceAuburn TigersTrending: EVENQuarterback Sean White never looked so good, right?North Carolina Tar HeelsTrending: UPHows this for halftime adjustments? After the Tar Heels allowed only three points in the second half of a 48-20 win over Georgia Tech, UNC coach Larry Fedora said, Didnt change a thing, we told em to go out and play pissed off.Oklahoma SoonersTrending: UPMaybe its time to change Dede Westbrooks name to Dede TD. He had a 65-yard touchdown catch in Oklahomas 34-24 win at Iowa State on Thursday night, giving him 12 in six Big 12 games. He had 233 all-purpose yards on only nine touches.Texas A&M AggiesTrending: DOWNEven though you were in the top four for only four days, Aggies, look on the bright side: It was four more days than any other FBS team in Texas.?Utah UtesTrending: EVENThe Utes had the weekend off before playing at Arizona State on Thursday night. Leading rusher Joe Williams kept busy by completing arts and crafts and playing bingo.Virginia Tech HokiesTrending: EVENThe Hokies have had a few problems on the road, losing at Syracuse and narrowly winning at Pittsburgh and Duke. The good news: Their final two ACC games against Georgia Tech and Virginia are at home. ESPNs Football Power Index gives Tech an 80 percent chance to win the ACC Coastal.West Virginia MountaineersTrending: UPThe Mountaineers rebounded from their lone loss at Oklahoma State by crushing Kansas 48-21 at home Saturday. It was the Jayhawks 35th consecutive road loss against Big 12 foes and 40th in a row overall. Theyre now 5-56 against ranked Big 12 opponents.Western Michigan BroncosTrending: UPWords I never thought Id write: The second-best FBS team in Michigan resides in Kalamazoo. The Broncos are 9-0 after blasting Ball State 52-20 on Tuesday night.Wisconsin BadgersTrending: UPAfter Nebraska fell badly at Ohio State, the Badgers might be in line to play in the Big Ten championship game. ESPNs FPI gives Wisconsin an 88 percent chance to win its last three games against Illinois, Purdue and Minnesota and clinch the Big Ten West.Better luck next seasonBaylor BearsTrending: DOWNNo comment.Florida GatorsTrending: DOWNMaybe Floridas sports ambassador can fix the Gators reeling offense.LSU TigersTrending: DOWNCome on, Tigers. You couldnt come up with a better way to honor Les Miles than by not scoring points against Alabama?Nebraska CornhuskersTrending: DOWNSure, the outcome wasnt good. But there wasnt a better sight Saturday night than Nebraska quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. running back to the sideline after what appeared to be a scary injury.Previously eliminatedEliminated in Week 9: Boise State Broncos, Pittsburgh Panthers, Tennessee VolunteersEliminated in Week 8:?Houston Cougars,?Miami HurricanesEliminated in Week 7: Arizona State Sun Devils, Maryland Terrapins, Ole Miss Rebels, Wake Forest Demon DeaconsEliminated in Week 6:?Air Force Falcons,?Arkansas Razorbacks,?Colorado Buffaloes,?Indiana Hoosiers,?Minnesota Gophers,?Stanford Cardinal,?Texas Tech Red Raiders,?UCLA BruinsEliminated in Week 5:?Arizona Wildcats, Cincinnati Bearcats, Florida State Seminoles, Georgia Bulldogs, Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Iowa Hawkeyes, Kansas State Wildcats, Memphis Tigers, Michigan State Spartans, Navy Midshipmen, Oregon Ducks, San Diego State Aztecs, TCU Horned Frogs, Texas Longhorns, Toledo RocketsEliminated in Week 4: Army Black Knights, Central Michigan Chippewas, East Carolina Pirates, Georgia Southern Eagles, Oklahoma State Cowboys, Oregon State Beavers, Penn State Nittany Lions, Rutgers Scarlet Knights, South Carolina Gamecocks, South Florida Bulls, USC TrojansEliminated in Week 3: Boston College Eagles, Duke Blue Devils, Illinois Fighting Illini, Marshall Thundering Herd,?Missouri Tigers, Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles, Syracuse Orange, Texas State Bobcats, Vanderbilt CommodoresEliminated in Week 2: Akron Zips, Ball State Cardinals, BYU Cougars, California Bears, Connecticut Huskies, Eastern Michigan Eagles, Florida Atlantic Owls, Idaho Vandals, Kansas Jayhawks, Louisiana Monroe Warhawks, Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders, Nevada Wolf Pack, New Mexico Lobos, NC State Wolfpack, Old Dominion Monarchs, Purdue Boilermakers, SMU Mustangs, South Alabama Jaguars, Texas San Antonio Roadrunners, Troy Trojans, Tulsa Golden Hurricane, UCF Knights, UNLV Rebels, Utah State Aggies, UTEP Miners, Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, Wyoming CowboysEliminated in Week 1: Appalachian State Mountaineers, Arkansas State Red Wolves, Bowling Green Falcons, Buffalo Bulls, Charlotte 49ers, Colorado State Rams, Florida International Golden Panthers, Fresno State Bulldogs, Georgia State Panthers, Hawaii Rainbow Warriors, Iowa State Cyclones, Kent State Golden Flashes, Kentucky Wildcats, Louisiana Lafayette Ragin Cajuns, Louisiana Tech Bulldogs, Massachusetts Minutemen, Miami (Ohio) RedHawks, Mississippi State Bulldogs, New Mexico State Aggies, North Texas Mean Green, Northern Illinois Huskies, Northwestern Wildcats, Ohio Bobcats, Rice Owls, San Jose State Spartans, Temple Owls, Tulane Green Wave, Virginia Cavaliers, Washington State Cougars Fake Vans Online .

In what the team had called a retirement, Ryan said Thursday that he is resigning as chief executive of the Rangers in a move effective at the end of this month. The Washington Wizards wasted no time in locking up shooting guard Bradley Beal, agreeing to a five-year maximum contract worth $128 million not long after the free agent markets opening bell Friday.The sides started talks as soon as possible, just after midnight Eastern, and moved quickly to wrap things up in the morning, agent Mark Bartelstein said. The deal cannot be signed until the free agent moratorium ends on July 7.Beal averaged 17.4 points in his fourth season for the Wizards. He has teamed with John Wall to form one of the most dynamic young backcourts in the NBA but has had difficulty staying healthy. Beal has never played more than 70 games in a season and has been bothered by stress fractures in his right leg throughout his career.He played in only 55 games with 35 starts during Washingtons disappointing 2015-16 season. But he just turned 23 and the Wizards are banking on his ability to put those injuries behind him as they try to push back into the playoff field in the Eastern Conference.The Wizards have designs on landing some other big names on the free agent market, so Beals deal will not be signed until Washington knows who else will be coming from outside the organization. The Wizards have so-called Bird Rights on Beal, meaning they can go over the salary cap -- expected to be around $94 million -- to keep him. The clause in the collective bargaining agreement, named after Larry Bird, gives teams an advantage in retaining players.The deal makes Beal the highest paid player on the Wizards by a wide margin, but Wall didnt seem to have anny gripes about that off the top.ddddddddddddCongrats to my lil bro (at)RealDealBeal23, Wall tweeted Friday. Now everything on u lol...Welcome back !!One player the Wizards wont be getting is the prize of the class: Kevin Durant. Earlier in the spring there was some hope in Washington that Durant would choose to leave Oklahoma City and come home to the D.C. area to join Wall and the rest of a team that appeared to be on the rise just two seasons ago. But it became apparent as the summer dragged on that Durant was not interested in a homecoming, so the Wizards are continuing their plan to build around that dynamic backcourt with a new coach in Scott Brooks.When Beal is healthy, he brings a scoring touch from the perimeter to complement Walls quickness and penetration at point guard. Beal is a career 39.7 percent shooter from 3-point range and also has shown the ability to create his own shot and the versatility to play with the starting unit or come off the bench to provide instant offense.Washington was one of the bigger disappointments in the league last season, going 41-41 and missing the playoffs in the muddled Eastern Conference a year after winning 46 games and advancing to the conference semifinals.The Wizards made the switch from Randy Wittman to Brooks, but Beals ability to stay healthy and productive will prove critical to their plans of bouncing back next season.Yahoo Sports first reported the agreements completion.
