FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Oklahoma's Kyler Murray and Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa have struck up a friendship over the past several weeks, which shouldn't be surprising considering how much time the quarterbacks have spent alongside one another. They were in Atlanta together at a college football awards show, where Tagovailoa won the Maxwell Award. They were in New York a few days later for the Heisman Trophy presentation, where Murray won. Maybe it's fitting they'll be center-stage again at Saturday's Orange Bowl.

On the bright side, the pay is great. This season nine of the 10 highest paid assistant coaches in college football this season were on the defensive side
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Kansas was supposed to have an easy run to its 15th consecutive Big 12 title.
