Urban Meyer, Brady Quinn get in heated exchange during Alabama, Notre Dame, Miami CFP discussion
Let the College Football Playoff debate begin. It did after the Big Ten Championship, when FOX’s Urban Meyer and Brady Quinn got into an argument over the final two at-large spots. Specifically, when it comes to a potential battle between the Alabama Crimson Tide and Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
“If you set the precedent that you go play Georgia, at Georgia,” Meyer said of Alabama. “Notre Dame, Miami, who would lose that game in that place?”
“Notre Dame beat Georgia last year?” Quinn responded. “Why are we saying that?”
Meyer fired back, saying his opinion forms from watching tape of all the teams out there. His main point remained the same, though. Moving Alabama out of the 12-team field cannot be done in his opinion, just because they played in the SEC Championship.
But another box got opened when mentioning Notre Dame “never, ever” playing in a conference championship game. Quinn did not give many thoughts on that front, instead focusing on the result Notre Dame got in last year’s College Football Playoff in New Orleans.
“Just watching them on tape,” Meyer said. “I’m just saying if you penalize a team that goes to the Southeastern Conference that plays Georgia at Georgia and kicks them out — people are going to say, ‘Why make it to the championship game?’ You can’t do that. You can’t penalize a team. Notre Dame will never play in a championship game. Notre Dame will never, ever play in a championship game. How is that fair?”
“That’s a whole different discussion then about them joining a conference,” Quinn said. “The reality is, they went through the Playoff and ended up playing for a national championship last year. So, we can’t act like those games didn’t happen. I mean, they beat Georgia last year.”
Of course, Quinn spent his playing days in South Bend, meaning he was going to defend Notre Dame. Nobody on the FOX panel represents Miami in any fashion. The statement from Meyer did not receive much pushback from the Hurricanes’ end.
Meyer and Quinn will find out with the rest of us as to who will earn the final two spots in the College Football Playoff. Making a final prediction, Quinn decided to go with Miami and Notre Dame. Meyer kept Miami in there — due to the head-to-head over Notre Dame — but thinks Alabama is deserving due to their participation in the SEC Championship.

QUOTABLE
Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra: “I think now we have positive teaching points from this. We’re going to conquer the third quarter. We’ve had so many incredible first halves, even in the games that we’ve lost. If we can get some of these games, like even where we play poorly in the third, just get to the fourth, we have great competitors in our locker room.
They love these kind of moments where it’s electric in there and you have to make big plays. So it was good to see us overcome the third quarter, there was a little bit of a glitch there where we kind of went back to some of the things that get us in trouble.”

Boxer Gervonta Davis faces new domestic violence allegations, this time in Miami Gardens
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Professional boxer Gervonta “Tank” Davis is once again finding himself on the wrong side of the law, and once again on charges that stem from an alleged domestic violence incident.

Miami Gardens police said on Oct. 29, a woman claiming to be involved in an intimate relationship with Davis since 2022 arrived at the police department with her lawyer, alleging Davis physically abused her.
“The victim reported sustaining minor injuries, including visible bruising to her left arm, at the time the report was made, and sought medical attention,” said Miami Gardens police Sgt. Emmanuel Jeanty.
Investigators said just days prior, surveillance video showed Davis arrive at a gentlemen’s club where the victim was working.
“The victim reported that Mr. Davis grabbed her by the back of her head, pulled her hair with one hand and by her throat and forcefully escorted her down a stairway and toward the parking garage while maintaining his grip on the back of her head,” said Jeanty.
Police said the victim was only able to get away after he released her.
This is not Davis’ first run-in with the law involving domestic violence. In 2020 he was seen grabbing his then-girlfriend by the throat at a celebrity basketball game.
In 2022, Local 10 News was there as he bonded out of the Broward County Jail after being arrested for allegedly hitting an ex-girlfriend in the face.
Most recently, in July 2025, Local 10 News was also there as he bonded out of the Miami-Dade County jail after allegedly striking the mother of his child in the back of the head.
A U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force is assisting the Miami Gardens Police Department as they work to arrest Davis on new charges.
At last check, Davis was still not in custody as of Wednesday evening.
Local 10 has reached out to his attorney to see if they are aware of the warrant and if Davis will turn himself in, but has not heard back as of the time of this story’s publication.

Ground stop lifted for flights coming to Miami International Airport due to weather
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — The Federal Aviation Administration has lifted a ground stop for all incoming flights at Miami International Airport Wednesday.
The order was initially issued at about 8:30 a.m. due to poor visibility in the area caused by “low ceilings.”

According to The Weather Channel, a low ceiling “refers to low clouds or fog,” making it too dangerous to fly.
MIA spokesman Greg Chin said airport officials are still determining the number of flights affected.
The FAA’s order was lifted around 9:30 a.m.
