The 2015-2016 College Football Playoff featured teams from the Big 10, SEC, ACC, and the Big 12. Michigan State versus Alabama and Oklahoma versus Clemson seemed like dream games, that is until they were played. The Crimson Tide steamrolled the Spartans and punched their ticket to the championship game with a 38-0 victory, while Clemson had a nice twenty point win over Oklahoma and punched their ticket to the championship game with a 37-17 victory. The College Football Playoff National Championship Game Presented by AT&T between the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Clemson Tigers was an incredible game that ended with a 45-40 Alabama victory. With the first College Football Playoff in the books, teams all around the country now know what to expect out of the new system, but who will make it in this year?

The college football season begins on Friday, August 26, 2016 with a matchup between California and Hawaii, two teams that will be nowhere near the playoff thus year, but it means the start of another season. There are many teams who will make a run at one of the top four spots in the rankings such as Michigan, Alabama, Florida, Iowa, Michigan State, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Clemson, and many more. Every team will put in everything they have during every game and will hope it pays off when the regular season finishes up. This years playoff will feature two teams who were previously in it and two brand new teams, but who are they? Ranking number one in the country will be the defending champs, the Alabama Crimson Tide, and following them at number two will be the team they beat last year, the Clemson Tigers. With Alabama and Clemson taking the first two spots, number three will be claimed by the LSU Tigers and the final spot in the 2016-2017 College Football Playoff will be held by the Michigan Wolverines. So, here is the projected match-ups for this years playoff: 1. Alabama Crimson Tide vs. 4. Michigan Wolverines and 2. Clemson Tigers vs. 3. LSU Tigers.

With the games set, who will go to the finals? The 2016-2017 College Football Playoff National Championship Game will be between two rivals, the Alabama Crimson Tide and the LSU Tigers. Although Alabama will have the experience advantage, it will be LSU who takes home the trophy this season and becomes the second ever College Football Playoff National Champion.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
