Quick Hits

• The WNBA Finals matchup is set, and it's a stunner: the Atlanta Dream (first Finals since 2013) will face the Golden State Valkyries — a team that didn't exist two years ago — after Golden State swept the defending champion Aces, abruptly ending A'ja Wilson's MVP season.
• College football had, in CBS Sports' words, "the craziest week of the season so far": Georgia beat Alabama and is projected to take over No. 1, Texas lost to rival Oklahoma, and Kentucky upset No. 10 LSU.
• Baseball's final four is the Dodgers, Brewers, Rays and Guardians, per ESPN, with the league championship series up next.
• NFL Week 5 wraps up today, headlined by a morning game in London (Eagles vs. Jaguars) — though Philadelphia will be without stars Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith.
• NASCAR celebrated the life of the late Kyle Busch on Friday night, with more than 10,000 fans at Charlotte Motor Speedway and an emotional burnout by his 11-year-old son.

Minnesota Teams

Your only local headline today is a rumor: the Eagles released veteran quarterback Andy Dalton, and CBS Sports lists the Vikings (along with the Titans) as a possible landing spot. Nothing's done — Dalton is just beginning the process of finding a new team — but keep an eye on it. Otherwise, a quiet feed: the Twins aren't among baseball's final four, the Lynx aren't in the WNBA Finals, and there's nothing new on the Wolves, Wild, United or Gophers.

NFL

Week 5 finishes today, and the quirkiest item is geography: the Eagles and Jaguars kick off early from London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Philadelphia will be shorthanded — running back Saquon Barkley and receiver DeVonta Smith are out, while Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is "questionable" (meaning he might play). Also on the schedule: the winless Texans visiting the equally winless Titans, so somebody's getting their first win.

NBA

The WNBA Finals are set, and neither team was on anyone's bingo card. The Atlanta Dream swept the New York Liberty, closing it out with an 85-83 road win in Game 3 behind 22 points from Angel Reese — Atlanta's first Finals trip since 2013. On the other side, the Golden State Valkyries — in just their second season of existence — swept the reigning champion Las Vegas Aces 87-77 in an overtime Game 3, becoming the fastest expansion team ever to reach the Finals. ESPN also took a hard look at the abrupt end to A'ja Wilson's historic MVP season in Vegas. Fun wrinkle: neither franchise has ever won a WNBA title, so someone's getting their first.

MLB

The Guardians and White Sox needed a decisive Game 5 in their division series Saturday, and Cleveland came out on top — ESPN lists the final four as the Dodgers, Brewers, Rays and Guardians. Next up are the league championship series (the round before the World Series), and ESPN's experts have already published their picks for both.

NHL

The season is chugging along — Saturday brought a typically massive 14-game slate running from early afternoon all the way to two 10 p.m. ET starts.

College Sports

• Georgia is the new boss. The Bulldogs (previously No. 2) went into Alabama and beat the No. 6 Crimson Tide, and CBS projects Georgia will take over No. 1 in the new AP Top 25 — with Oregon and Florida sliding down.
• Texas stumbled but isn't dead. The Longhorns lost to rival Oklahoma in Dallas, but CBS notes a marquee win over Ohio State and a brutal SEC schedule could still carry them into the 12-team playoff — possibly even with three losses.
• Oregon is the year's biggest letdown. The Ducks entered 2026 as the national title favorite but suffered their second loss Saturday, making them CBS Sports' pick for college football's biggest disappointment.
• LSU can't win on the road. Kentucky stunned the No. 10 Tigers, adding pressure to LSU's playoff hopes and continuing a troubling away-from-Baton-Rouge pattern for Lane Kiffin's team.
• UCLA is for real(?). CBS says the Bruins "announced themselves as a playoff contender" in a wild week that forced a full reshuffle of all 46 bowl game projections.

Other Sports

• Soccer: The Premier League resumed under a cloud — per ESPN, a guilty verdict is hanging over leaders Manchester City — and Arsenal fought back to beat Leeds. In rumor land, Atlético Madrid's Giuliano Simeone is being eyed by Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham.
• NASCAR: The racing community honored the late Kyle Busch with a celebration of life Friday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway, drawing more than 10,000 fans. ESPN called the ceremony uplifting — the highlight was a burnout by Busch's 11-year-old son.
