Tottenham is thriving after selling Kane. Now it faces biggest test so far against rival Arsenal

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:18:48 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — There was little to suggest Tottenham would make an unbeaten start in the Premier League this season, winning four out of five games to leave it two points behind leader Manchester City and second in the standings. The London club did, after all, sell record goal scorer Harry Kane to Bayern Munich in the offseason without signing an obvious replacement. Spurs were also on the back of a campaign that saw them fail to qualify for Europe for the first time since 2009 after discarding a fourth manager in as many years when Antonio Conte became the latest in a long line of coaches to fail to bring success to the club. Few, then, would have expected Ange Postecoglou to bring the feel-good factor in such a short space of time after being hired in June and named Premier League manager of the month for August. It has been quite a honeymoon period for the Australian coach. Not that he agrees.“I don’t know what your honeymoon was like, but mine didn’t have me losing ...

The Associated Press college football poll started in 1936, the brainchild of former sports editor Alan J. Gould.The number of teams ranked, the number of voters on the panel and how the ballots are tabulated has fluctuated over the years, but no organization has been ranking teams and naming a major college football national champion longer than the AP. It has been the Top 10, Top 20 and, since 1989, the Top 25.Here is how it works:WHO ARE THE VOTERS?AP Top 25 voters are writers and broadcasters who cover college football for organizations that are members of the AP.AP employees do not vote, but they do choose the voters.

Things to watch in Week 4 of the Southeastern Conference:GAME OF THE WEEKNo. 15 Mississippi (3-0) at No. 13 Alabama (2-1) in the SEC opener for both teams. Any matchup of potential SEC West contenders is big, but this game is magnified by the Crimson Tide’s evident vulnerability the past two weeks. Jalen Milroe is back as Alabama’s No. 1 quarterback. The Rebels counter with Jaxson Dart, who has been one of the league’s top quarterbacks over the first few Saturdays. The two teams have met 12 times when both were ranked and Alabama holds a 9-3 advantage in those games. The Tide has won the last seven meetings but barely held on 30-24 last season.

Here are things to watch in the Atlantic Coast Conference in Week 4:GAME OF THE WEEKNo. 4 Florida State (3-0, 1-0 ACC) at Clemson (2-1, 0-1). The Seminoles have perhaps the young season’s best win in defeating LSU in their opener and now look to end just about all hope Clemson has at contending for titles this season. Florida State has not beaten Clemson since 2014, a string of seven losses and watched the Tigers take control of the league with seven ACC titles in the past eight years. Clemson was picked this summer as favorites to win the crown again, but Florida State can stamp itself as the league favorite with its first victory in Death Valley since 2013 when Jameis Winston led the program to its last national title. Jordan Travis has experience and talent at quarterback for the Seminoles and is surrounded by dynamic playmakers. Clemson has worked to steady its flustered, mistake-prone offense from its opening loss at Duke under sophomore passer Cade Klubnik, who is making...
