Women’s college basketball is hotter than ever, with new stars, new contenders, and the same amazing on-court product. Here’s what to know as we near the midway point of the season.

March will be here before you know it, so before the regular season flies by, let's check in on the biggest and brightest stars of the men’s college basketball world, shall we?

With a 28–14 win over No. 5 Texas in Friday’s Cotton Bowl, No. 8 Ohio State punched their ticket to the College Football Playoff (CFP) championship game, where they’ll face No. 7 Notre Dame. But questions about the college football landscape still linger ahead of January 20th’s title game.

No. 1 Oklahoma cemented its status as the country’s top team by defeating No. 2 LSU, No. 4 Utah, and No. 6 Cal in this weekend’s star-studded Sprouts Collegiate Quad. Oklahoma has been the most dominant team in college gymnastics with six national titles in the last decade, and after this weekend’s showing, they look poised to win another.

The women’s and men’s basketball schedules are in full conference play mode, delivering must-see matchups night after night. Why let March have all the fun? There’s plenty to go mad about right now.

It’s only January, but the women’s basketball space is already buzzing with madness usually reserved for March.

And then there were four. The College Football Playoff (CFP) semis are officially here, with the Orange Bowl, featuring No. 6 Penn State and No. 7 Notre Dame, kicking off tomorrow at 7:30 p.m. ET and the Cotton Bowl set for Friday.

Nonconference basketball was wild — remember when the now-No. 1 UCLA women snapped then-No. 1 South Carolina’s 43-game winning streak? But conference play is when stars shine the brightest.

With just under two months remaining in the regular season, it’s time to check in on the college hockey scene. Two Big Ten teams sit atop the men’s and women’s rankings, but some of the usual suspects are close behind.

The Olympics are long over, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get your gymnastics fix, or a glimpse of your favorite Team USA athletes. Jade Carey and Jordan Chiles competed for their respective college squads this weekend, but it was Cal that had a golden performance.

ICYMI: The first expanded College Football Playoff (CFP) is in full swing, with the 12-team field already whittled down to four. No. 5 seed Texas, No. 6 Penn State, No. 7 Notre Dame, and No. 8 Ohio State are still fighting for the trophy after a wild holiday break full of upsets and thrilling gridiron action.

We are totally flipping out because the NCAA gymnastics season officially starts today. There’s a whole lot of floor routines, gravity defying tricks, and balance beaming to come between now and the national championship in April.
