This is the Sportacados Discussion Thread, for talking about all things sports! Feel free to live-chat games, talk about the latest news and rumours, discuss sports history, and anything else that relates to watching other grown adults throw or hit a ball. Hateration is allowed, but try to keep it within the realm of light banter.
News and Results
- It was the biggest weekend of regular-season college football this year, with two top ten matches and a bunch of other ranked showdowns. Notre Dame defeated top-ranked Miami, while Utah soaked BYU in the Holy War to remain unbeaten. Expected contenders Ohio State, Ole Miss and LSU all took a (probably?) fatal third loss, while surprise package UCLA is now the only other unbeaten team.
- NASCAR concluded its 2026 Cup Series with the Season Finale 400 in Miami yesterday. Kyle Larson clinched the Drivers Championship, becoming the first man to win the title back-to-back since 2010. NASCAR fans seem mad about this, but I’m not going to look into it more.
- MLS ended its regular season with Decision Day, reducing its 30 teams to a mere 18 for the playoffs. My Toronto FC somehow missed out for the sixth season in a row. You can see the playoff brackets below. The NWSL also held the first round of their playoffs, setting up semifinals matchups of Gotham FC vs. Kansas City Current and Washington Spirits vs. Utah Royals.
