Coach Luke Fickell and Cincinnati broke through as the first non-P5 to make the four-team playoff, bolstered by a win the first Saturday of October at Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish, who lost 31-14 to Alabama in a CFP semifinal Rose Bowl played at AT&T Stadium last New Year’s Day, didn’t lose another game this season and finished fifth in the final CFP rankings behind the history-making Bearcats.

At about 9:30 a.m., the U.S. Marshal’s Great Lakes Fugitive Task Force with help from Indiana State Police served a search warrant in North Manchester, Indiana, and Sullivan was arrested along with Daniel Acros, 19, of Kankakee, according to Indiana State Police. The men are being held in Wabash County Jail, authorities said.

McHenry and Kankakee county officials had filed suit, alleging that the law exceeds the state’s authority by superseding federal law.

Wake Forest linebacker Ryan Smenda, a junior who grew up in nearby Orange Park, was ejected for the third time this season for targeting. Smenda barely made contact, if at all, this time. He was penalized for intent because he led with his helmet while chasing Rutgers quarterback Gavin Wimsatt. Wimsatt slid late, and Smenda flew over the top of him.

Peterson also argues that two of the state’s key witnesses, Neil Schori and Harry Smith, should not have been allowed to testify about what Stacy Peterson told them regarding Savio’s death or her own concerns about Peterson. Peterson argues conversations with Schori, a pastor, and Smith, an attorney, should have been privileged. However, both were allowed to testify under the state’s hearsay law.
