The ACC and others back a 24-team CFP, awaiting SEC's decision.
The Philadelphia Phillies, after a rough start, have improved their record but may still consider trading struggling All-Star infielder Alec Bohm. Trade rumors suggest Bohm could be moved at the deadline despite the team's recent resurgence.

The Philadelphia Phillies got off to a very poor 9-19 start to the season, but under Don Mattingly, they've gotten back close to .500 at 20-22 on the year.
This resurgence has somewhat closed the door on a potential sell-off at the trade deadline this year, but that doesn't mean the Phillies are totally safe just yet.
Robert Murray of Fansided.com shared a trade rumor for the Phillies that would have a struggling All-Star infielder, Alec Bohm, on the move at this year's deadline.
"If they sell, Alec Bohm feels like a change of scenery candidate," Murray writes. Bohm has been a trade candidate, so this rumor shouldn't come as a surprise.
But, beyond simply this rumor not being a surprise, it actually makes a ton of sense for the Phillies to pull off such a trade if they are sellers for one clear reason.
Assuming the Phillies wind up as sellers, or even if there's a chance to land a new third baseman to upgrade over Bohm, the All-Star is a sensible trade candidate for an obvious reason.
The Phillies are considering trading Alec Bohm due to his struggles despite the team's recent improvement in performance.
Alec Bohm is currently struggling, which has led to speculation about his potential trade at the deadline.
The Phillies started the season with a 9-19 record but have improved to 20-22 under manager Don Mattingly.

Between Bohm's struggles this season and his tumultuous personal life, sending Bohm to a new team could help him put the past behind him and get back on track as a professional baseball player.
He's still a solid player, as he can be a decent contact hitter with decent defense at third base. Bohm might not return to All-Star form, but if he could get a change of scenery, it might prove to be a big help in turning his season and potentially career around.
Bohm has had it tough lately, and sometimes all a player needs amid such hard times is to get a change of scenery. Giving Bohm that change of scenery is a big reason why the Phillies should look to trade Bohm this season.
If 2026 goes south, Bohm is the most obvious trade candidate on the roster. And for Bohm, personally, a trade might be just what he needs during this contract year to get back on track as a quality starting Major Leaguer.
