That research has been used to determine an all-time rankings list and other stories, including an eight-part series looking at the top teams of each decade. A separate advisory on this package is also moving on AP wires.FBC--T25-AP POLL AT 80To look back, all the way back, to the first Top 25 college football poll is to take a walk through history. The great teams at Notre Dame and Army, at Oklahoma and Alabama, the coaching greats like Bud Wilkinson and Bobby Bowden, Joe Paterno, Lou Holtz and Nick Saban. For the first time, The Associated Press has sorted through all those polls -- all 1,103 of them -- to determine the top 100 programs of all time after eight decades of arguing whos the best.

It makes up for it with a high-powered opening lineup that is particularly noteworthy this year, including Alabama-USC, Ole Miss-Florida State, Auburn-Clemson, Texas A&M-UCLA and LSU-Wisconsin. Does frontloading the nonconference schedule help the SEC impress the playoff committee and boost its national perception? By Steve Megargee.

There may be no louder voice in college football. But whats happening behind the scenes makes Harbaugh much more than a meme. By Larry Lage.

The longtime assistant was a surprising choice to go from interim coach to simply coach of a program that is one of college footballs crown jewels but has been unable to recapture its greatness under former Pete Carroll assistants, Lane Kiffin and Steve Sarkisian. The hope is that Helton can provide stability if not flash, but he also starts the season with a two-game losing streak and an opener against defending national champion Alabama. By Greg Beacham.

New Mexico State and Idaho have faced similar decisions recently, too -- to go independent and stay in the Bowl Subdivision or drop to the FCS. New Mexico State is staying. Idaho will be going. When you arent Notre Dame, there are a lot of pros and cons to independence. By College Football Writer Ralph D. Russo.

LSUs Leonard Fournette, Stanfords Christian McCaffrey, Oregons Royce Freeman and Florida States Dalvin Cook all are back after rushing for over 1,800 yards last season. The talent at running back is so loaded that guys such as Tennessees Jalen Hurd and North Carolinas Elijah Hood -- who would be boldface names in any other year -- are relatively under the radar.

The Seattle Seahawks were the first team to teach the technique, with Ohio State following last season. Nebraska, among others, is the latest program coaching rugby-style technique.

Eric ONeal says most of the arrests at Monday nights game were for public drunkenness, though one person was taken into custody on suspicion of trying to steal a seat from the stadium. Two years after beating Eduardo Dantas to claim the Bellator bantamweight title, Joe Warren looks to do the same thing once more on Friday, in the same exact arena.For Warren (18-4), the self-proclaimed Baddest Man on the Planet, the sport is all about matchups, and he believes that history will repeat itself.I believe Im a terrible matchup for Dantas, Warren told ESPN.com. I think hes one of the best fighters in the world, but hes more of a point fighter. A jab and a kick is how hes going to win, and thats not how you beat me. Youre going to have to bring everything you have and dig deep into that trench to try to get me.Fridays Bellator 166 card resonates from the WinStar World Casino & Resort in Thackerville, Oklahoma, with Dantas (18-4) defending his 135-pound belt against the 40-year-old Warren (14-5).In their first meeting at Bellator 128 in October 2014, Dantas entered as the champion while Warren came in with an interim belt he picked up by defeating Rafael Silva, after Dantas suffered a head injury in training earlier in the year.The bout was hard-fought for 25 minutes, with Warren getting the nod on all three judges scorecards, 48-47. Warren relied on his Greco-Roman wrestling skills throughout, routinely absorbing a strike to secure a takedown. He was also able to neutralize multiple submission attempts from the Brazilian en route to becoming a two-division champion for Bellator.Warren went on to drop the belt in his next bout, a second-round submission loss to Marcos Galvao in March 2015. Three months later, Galvao was defeated by Dantas in their second fight at Bellator 156.Now, in Fridays rematch against Dantas, Warren looks to take the fight into deep waters, where he doesnt expect his opponent will want to go.Im just saying Dantas is ... hes a pretty boy fighter, man. He likes to win with his jabs and his kicks and not get hurt, not get hit, Warren said. Im not the person that you can do that with. Its going to have to be a drawn-out war that Im real comfortable in.Nine months after suffering a one-sided defeat to?Darrion Caldwell (9-1), one might be surprised to see Warren back in the title piccture so soon.dddddddddddd Especially considering Caldwells victory appeared to be a star-making performance for the 2009 NCAA champion, who rag-dolled Warren with a takedown before submitting him via rear-naked choke midway through Round 1.?But Caldwell was upset by Joe Taimanglo (who had missed weight) in their No. 1 contenders bout in July via third-round submission. The two will meet again in a rematch Saturday at Bellator 167, also taking place in Thackerville.?Warren believes his loss to Caldwell was largely caused by an early injury which threw him off his game.That first takedown, the first minute, I dislocated my kneecap and tore my MCL. I couldnt even stand up, Warren said. I was never in that situation in a fight and I was not sure what to do. I came up and when things go bad it goes real bad in that cage. I got body-slammed and choked out.Warren rested and rehabbed, which prevented him from attempting to qualify for the Olympics in Rio (something he called the saddest part of the injury). But he claims to be 100 percent, saying age isnt a factor because he doesnt think about it. He believes hes stronger, faster and smarter than he has ever been inside the cage, with the credit going to the training he receives at Phase IV Athletics with Robert Forster. Warrens training is all science based, and tailored specifically for his needs, focused more on recovery so he can be at his best on fight night.Warren was able to stamp his claim to top contender status by defeating Sirwan Kakai in September. In his first fight since the injury, Warren used his trademark wrestling and intensity to dictate where the fight took place. Warren landed a pair of strong knees to the face of Kakai, which led to a guillotine choke in the third round. It was a bloody and bruising fight for the former champion, something that he looks forward to imposing on Dantas.Id like to test who he is mentally, said Warren. Its a scary feeling when you have a man across from you in the cage that will never die.
