    There has already been a great deal of debate over which teams should be included in this year’s College Football Playoff. Alabama is a lock at #1 but after that a bunch of teams could make a claim for having earned a spot in the tournament.

    Right now it’s Ohio State, Clemson, and Washington filling out the bracket. However the results from this weekend’s Conference Championship games will largely determine the final placement of teams that will have a shot at the championship.

    How does NCAA Football 14 (with updated rosters) predict the games will play out? And with those outcomes what is it projecting for the CFP? Check out the results of the completed simulations over at Sporting News today!

    Pro Evolution Soccer 2017

    Last year Konami introduced the concept of a slimmed down free-to-play version of Pro Evolution Soccer which included the MyClub team-building mode (naturally in order to generate digital revenue) plus a handful of teams for exhibition matches and the game’s training mode. The publisher has just now released a similar offering for PES 2017.

    The PES 2017 Trial Edition can be downloaded for both Xbox One or PlayStation 4. This year’s differs in that it doesn’t offer MyClub but instead features the new ‘PES League’ which is being used as the game’s competitive eSports mode. The first competition will get underway in December. The trial version also includes the Skills Trainer and nine teams for use in exhibition games: FC Barcelona, Arsenal FC, Club AtlĂ©tic de Madrid, Ca Boca Juniors, Ca River Plate, SC Corinthians Paulista, CR Flamengo, and the national teams of Germany and France.
