Carson Beck threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, leading No. 11 Georgia to a 31-17 win over No. 6 Tennessee that gave a huge boost to the Bulldogs’ College Football Playoff hopes. Georgia improved to 8-2, bouncing back from a 28-10 loss at Ole Miss that left the Bulldogs just outside the provisional 12-team postseason field. Now, they are positioned for a likely playoff berth — and a shot at winning their third national title in four years — if they can close out the regular season with wins over UMass and Georgia Tech. Tennessee could have moved closer to a berth in the SEC championship game. But the postseason prospects for the 8-2 Vols are now a whole lot murkier.

How a viral, duct-taped banana came to be worth $1 million

When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the conventional wisdom was that the capital, Kyiv, would soon fall and the rest of the country wouldn’t last long against a much larger enemy. Instead, it was that narrative that quickly collapsed. The Ukrainian army proved it could slow the advance of Russia’s forces and, if not drive them out completely, then at least forestall defeat. Nearly three years later, the outlook is again grim. Russia is expending huge amounts of weaponry and human life to make small-but-steady territorial gains to the nearly one-fifth of Ukraine it already controls. Ukraine, meanwhile, is struggling to minimize losses, maintain morale and convince allies that, with more military aid, it can turn the tide.

Walk into any supermarket and you can usually buy a banana for less than $1. But a banana duct-taped to a wall? That might sell for more than $1 million at an upcoming auction at Sotheby’s in New York. The yellow banana fixed to a white wall with silver duct tape is an artwork entitled “Comedian,” by Maurizio Cattelan. It debuted at the Art Basel Miami Beach fair in 2019. “Comedian” is expected to fetch between $1 million and $1.5 million at the Nov. 20 auction. Bidders won’t be buying the same fruit that was on display in Miami. Those bananas are long gone. Sotheby’s says the fruit always was meant to be replaced regularly.

Texas A&M University is set to mark the anniversary of the campus bonfire tragedy that killed 12 people and injured dozens more 25 years ago. The giant log stack collapsed Nov. 18, 1999, permanently scarring a campus rooted in traditions carried across generations of students. Eleven students and a graduate were killed when the massive log pile collapsed during preparations for the annual bonfire ahead of the Texas A&M-Texas football game. The annual Aggie bonfire has since been discontinued as an official school event. The school is scheduled to host a Bonfire Remembrance ceremony on Monday at 2:42 a.m., about the time the stack collapsed.

“Inside the NBA” will appear on ESPN and ABC beginning next season as part of a settlement between Warner Bros. Discovery and the NBA. Warner Bros. Discovery, the parent company of TNT Sports, sued the NBA in New York state court after the league did not accept the company’s matching offer for one of the packages in its new 11-year media rights deal, which will begin with the 2025-26 season. The settlement is expected to be announced Monday, three people with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press on Saturday night. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because litigation remains ongoing.

Tropical Storm Sara is the third named storm to emerge this November, serving up a reminder that the Atlantic hurricane season isn't quite over. Sara has dumped torrential rains in Central American since it made landfall Thursday on the Caribbean coast of Honduras. Scientists say we are seeing an unusually active end to the 2024 hurricane season that officially ends Nov. 30. The National Hurricane Center says November generally has one tropical storm every year or two and a hurricane roughly every other year. University of Miami hurricane researcher Brian McNoldy says 66 hurricanes have been recorded during November since 1851.
