Justin Thomas joined the ESPN's “College Gameday” crew on Saturday in Tuscaloosa, Alabama as the guest selector.

Thomas was a Haskins Award winner for the University of Alabama and helped lead the Crimson Tide to a national championship in 2013.

“Gameday” goes to different college campuses each week to spotlight the biggest games, and there are none bigger this week than No. 2 Alabama hosting No. 1 LSU.

Thomas, of course, picked Alabama to win; though, analyst Lee Corso sported the Tiger headgear for his selection.

Here’s a look at Thomas’ 12 games with his picks in bold:

Princeton at Dartmouth

Florida State at Boston College

Louisville at Miami

Notre Dame at Duke

Wake Forest at Virginia Tech

Southern Cal at Arizona State

Kansas State at Texas

Baylor at Texas Christian

Iowa State at Oklahoma

Iowa at Wisconsin

Penn State at Minnesota

LSU at Alabama

On the 30th anniversary of its demise, the Berlin Wall fell once again, this time at the Olympiastadion, where Hertha Berlin hosted RB Leipzig.

Throughout the week, the city of Berlin celebrated the peaceful revolution that led to the reunification of the two Germanys in 1990. Events took place all over the city ahead of the main celebrations on Saturday, which included the destruction of a wall on the Olympiastadion pitch before Leipzig defeated Hertha 4-2 in a Bundesliga clash.

Thirty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, Hertha constructed a wall across the halfway line of their pitch to symbolise the division of the country three decades ago.

"Zusammen gegen Mauern, zusammen für Berlin" -- united against walls, united for Berlin -- was the message written on the wall. On the giant screen, famous speeches by former U.S. presidents John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan were shown.

"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall," Reagan said as the fans on the Ostkurve unveiled a giant choreo of the Brandenburg Gate. Above it was written: "Walls can't resist us Berliners."

The players of Hertha and Leipzig walked out of the tunnel alongside a Trabant, engineered by the famous East German car brand of the same name, which drove through the wall as the players lined up.

The remains of the wall were then carried away to the sound of "Heroes," the song David Bowie recorded at Berlin's Hansa Studios in 1977.

"Many of our members and fans were affected directly when the wall was built in 1961," Hertha executive Paul Keuter told ESPN. "As a club with a long tradition and that is an integral part of Berlin, those key moments of our city's history just play a role for us.

"History shows that walls, especially those in our minds, have never been a good solution. On the contrary, they bring suffering and harm. Here in Berlin we know that walls are no solution."

Hertha was founded in the late 19th century in what would become the east after World War II and they later relocated to the west.

Leipzig, their opponents on the day, are a football team based in the former east, but are bankrolled by an Austrian soft-drink giant.

USA's ODI status secured in April has already guaranteed them 36 ODIs over the next three years as part of Cricket World Cup League Two, but their rise in the ICC rankings might also help convince Full Members to play more matches against them in conjunction with tours to the Caribbean. So hopes Johnny Grave, the Cricket West Indies' chief executive.

"Hopefully West Indies and USA can have a really good positive partnership to support each other and to build cricket in this time zone in the Americas and grow the game because that's what we need," Grave told ESPNcricinfo in a recent interview.

"What USA Cricket needs is certainty, that we are coming. Then we can focus on how this becomes a real celebration of cricket, how we can promote the sport, get grassroots programs in and around it, how we can play USA or the opposition can play USA as warm-ups is definitely something that we are very open to. We've all said that we want to grow the game. Well, the North American market is somewhere we have to grow cricket if we want to become a truly global sport."

CWI is open to expanding fixture arrangements with a focus on West Indies T20I matches played in Florida over the next few years. A tentative agreement had been in place for USA and West Indies to play a T20 warm-up match there ahead of the India series in August. But sources have said USA pulled out of it in order to have a three-week squad training camp in Los Angeles. West Indies will, however, return to Florida in August 2020 to play two T20Is against South Africa, as previously reported by ESPNcricinfo.

Grave said practice matches between touring teams and the USA could be a viable starting point and things can move forward from there. "I think we're open-minded. There's always an opportunity to play behind closed doors, not open it up to the public, to not have full status. But we'd be really open to saying, 'Well no, the international status is there. Let's play a fully-fledged international.

"There's so much costs of bringing in all the TV production kit in terms of set-up costs that actually to add on another game when everything is already set up isn't insurmountable, in which case that's something we'd definitely want to discuss with USA Cricket."

For the third consecutive edition, USA have been invited to participate in the Regional Super50 tournament held this month in Trinidad & Tobago as CWI continue to look at more options for collaboration.

"In terms of playing USA Cricket if and when we can identify a gap in our calendar, we always have to fly to pretty much anywhere in the world via Miami, New York or London," Grave said. "Bringing our teams from the Caribbean for training camps, to play games and then to fly elsewhere in the world is definitely something that logistically makes sense.

"So if the diaries align… One of the things that USA Cricket are doing is playing a lot more competitive cricket. So it's not just a case of when our team are available but when USA Cricket are available. But that's definitely something we'd be interested to do and not just men's cricket. We'd be keen to bring our West Indies women's team to play matches and even Under-19s boys and girls. We're talking to them about the whole scope of cricket. We're always looking for opportunities for our players to play and also to assist USA and Canada in their growth and development."

As for next year's T20I series against South Africa in Florida, Grave said that he expects the ticket prices to be much more affordable. When India played there earlier this year, the grandstand seats started at USD 100. It was less than half that when Bangladesh came over in 2018.

"We saw it in the World Cup that the Indian fans and subcontinent fans are the most passionate fans in the world and are desperate to see their stars when they come over on their doorstep," Grave said. "The tickets get snapped up so quickly online and it's difficult to hold them back necessarily for other fans. South Africa will definitely be a more affordable price point. Hopefully even Americans who have heard about these games will come and watch the cricket and see what it's all about."

Naoya Inoue's ambitious plans for 2020 under his new co-promotional deal with Top Rank may have to be tempered.

While "The Monster" unified bantamweight world titles and won the eight-man World Boxing Super Series tournament by unanimous decision against Nonito Donaire on Thursday at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, the victory in the action-packed contender for fight of the year came with damage.

Inoue and co-promoter Hideyuki Ohashi disclosed at a media gathering on Saturday in Tokyo that besides the very obvious terrible gash over Inoue's right eye suffered in the second round -- which required five stitches to close -- he also suffered a fractured orbital bone and a fractured nose, which bled from the third round on.

Inoue said he would not require surgery to repair either fracture and that he will be re-examined by his doctor in a month to asses his progress.

"Then I will decide my training schedule thereafter," Inoue said in translated remarks, adding that his plans for a spring fight in the United States would have to be delayed.

Before the fight with Donaire, Inoue and Ohashi signed a multi-year co-promotional deal with Top Rank contingent on beating Donaire that would bring Inoue to the United States to fight on ESPN platforms. The deal was announced immediately following Thursday's bout.

The plan was for Inoue to fight three times in 2020 with the first two bouts to take place in the United States, where he has fought only once previously in 2017, followed by a third fight at home in Japan later in the year.

But with the injuries it remains to be seen when his first fight of the new deal will take place.

The fight with Donaire was a fierce one. Despite having the most difficult fight of his career, three-division world titlist Inoue persevered through the injuries to knock four-division titlist Donaire down with a body shot in the 11th round and won by scores of 117-109, 116-111 and 114-113 before a sold-out crowd of more than 20,000.

Inoue (19-0, 16 KOs), 26, who is 14-0 in world title fights and ranked No. 4 in the ESPN pound-for-pound rankings, has won world titles at junior flyweight, junior bantamweight and bantamweight. Before the grueling final against Donaire, Inoue had torn through the World Boxing Super Series, destroying former world titlist Juan Carlos Payano with a highlight-reel first-round knockout in the quarterfinals and crushing Emmanuel Rodriguez in two rounds in the semifinals.

The Indianapolis Colts have ruled quarterback Jacoby Brissett out for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins.

Brissett suffered a sprained MCL during last Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he had been a limited participant in practice all week.

Brian Hoyer will make his first start since the 2017 season with the San Francisco 49ers, and the Colts called up Chad Kelly from the practice squad to serve as the backup.

The Colts also will be without wide receiver T.Y. Hilton, who suffered a calf injury in practice on Oct. 30.

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball will miss Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets with a right adductor strain, the team announced.

Ball said he originally suffered the injury against Oklahoma City Thunder on Nov. 2. He felt the pain then but played through it against Brooklyn on Monday.

He left the game against the Nets in the third quarter with cramps in both calves.

The Pelicans listed Ball as probable for Friday night's game against Toronto but when he checked out in the third quarter, trainers wrapped his right leg and he didn't check back in.

So far this season, Ball is averaging 11.5 points, 6.1 assists and 4.5 rebounds in 29.0 minutes per game.

With Ball missing, the Pelicans transferred point guard Josh Gray back from the Erie Bayhawks. Gray is one of the Pelicans' two-way players.

World number one Ashleigh Barty hailed her "perfect match" in beating Caroline Garcia 6-0 6-0 to draw Australia level in the Fed Cup final against France.

France had taken the lead when Kristina Mladenovic swept aside Ajla Tomljanovic 6-1 6-1 in Perth.

But Barty thrashed world number 45 Garcia in 56 minutes to even up the scores after Saturday's rubbers.

"I couldn't have asked for a more perfect match," said Barty, who won the WTA Finals event last week.

"I think that's probably the best tennis match I've ever played in my life. And what a place to do it! This is incredible.

"I'm so happy to be back here in Perth. I started my year here, so it's a hell of a way to finish it off too."

Barty will face French number one and world number 40 Mladenovic in Sunday's opening rubber before Garcia is scheduled to face world number 51 Tomljanovic.

The fifth and final rubber - if needed - will be a doubles match in which Barty is set to team up with Samantha Stosur.

SWEDESBORO, N.J. – Last year on the final night of the Big Track Classic, JJ Grasso was leading when he suffered a flat left-rear tire on a restart and lost the win to Robbie Stillwaggon.

This year, however, the tables turned and Grasso found himself in victory lane during night one of the Midge Miller Memorial Big Track Classic on Friday at Bridgeport Speedway.

Twenty-two cars signed in to battle the brutally cold temperatures and compete in the final race weekend of the Capitol Renegade United Racing Club season.

There was much to be determined going into the weekend, including the crowning of the Midge Miller Memorial winner and the season champion, in addition to saying goodbye to the five-eighths-mile track at Bridgeport.

Steve Buckwalter and two-time Big Track Classic winner Stillwaggon shared the front row and led the field to the green for the first night of action. Stillwaggon jumped to an early lead while his brother, Ryan Stillwaggon, followed suit into second from fourth on the grid.

Battles began to ensue all over the race track, but clean air gave Robbie Stillwaggon the advantage as he began pulling away from the field and into lapped traffic.

At that point, Buckwalter was running third, Curt Michael was fourth, and Grasso found himself fifth. Lapped traffic caused havoc on the field and the first victim was Ryan Stillwaggon, who was running second and tagged the inside jersey barrier attempting to put lapped cars behind him. The contact eventually ended his night early.

Grasso worked his way through lapped traffic – using one to his advantage to get by Michael and into fourth and eventually working his way by Buckwalter and into the second spot.

On the final night of 2018, Grasso looked as though he was untouchable when tragedy struck and a left-rear flat on the final restart cost him the race.

This year, Robbie Stillwaggon looked as though he had the race wrapped up, when once again tragedy struck the leader and he hit a lapped car and backed into the outside wall in turn two.

Though Stillwaggon was able to keep going, his lead quickly vanished and Grasso – after having lap car issues of his own – took the point with Buckwalter behind him.

Grasso then cruised the last four laps to take home the win for night one of the finale weekend as Buckwalter, Tyler Ross, Michael and Chad Layton rounded out the top 5.

“Lapped cars helped us and hurt us tonight,” Grasso said after his win, “I heard someone say Robbie got into a lap car which helped us, but I did the same thing a lap earlier and hurt my car and my thumb and body.

“This win felt like it has been a long time coming,” he added. “This is the first win since a former crew member, sponsor, and friend, Todd Elwell, passed away so I dedicate this one to him.”

The KSE Hard Charger for the night went to Ross who started 10th and ended up on the podium in third. Heat race wins went to Layton, Josh Weller and Buckwalter.

The finish:

1. 25-J.J. Grasso, [3]; 2. 7X-Steve Buckwalter, [1]; 3. 5-Tyler Ross, [10]; 4. 5G-Curt Michael, [6]; 5. 35-Chad Layton, [7]; 6. 63-Josh Weller, [5]; 7. 5W-Lucas Wolfe, [11]; 8. 72-Ryan Smith, [14]; 9. 47-Adam Carberry, [12]; 10. 39-Ryan Watt, [15]; 11. 22-Troy Betts, [9]; 12. 11A-Austin Bishop, [18]; 13. 71-Chris Allen Jr., [17]; 14. 7-Ed Aikin, [8]; 15. 5Z-Jeff Geiges, [13]; 16. 67C-Jason Cherry, [21]; 17. 89-Robbie Stillwaggon, [2]; 18. 11-Ryan Stillwaggon, [4]; 19. 83-Larry McVay, [16]; 20. 5Q-Ryan Quackenbush, [20]; 21. 706-Mark Sasso, [19]; 22. 34-Mark Van Vorst, (DNS).
