For the second straight year, the aforementioned Texas Longhorns brought brooms to the national championship court — this time sweeping the Nebraska Cornhuskers 25–22, 25–14, 25–11 in front of yesterday’s record-breaking indoor NCAA volleyball crowd.

Six weeks into the season, and the NCAA’s hoopers spent Saturday decking the halls with impressive upsets and score-lines.

Last night’s semifinals saw overall No. 1–seed Nebraska and defending champ No. 2 Texas dig out spots on Sunday’s championship court.

The FCS, where Division I’s other Final Four will fight tonight and tomorrow for a spot in the NCAA’s January 7th FCS National Championship title game.

The women’s volleyball national semifinalists take the court in Tampa, FL, tomorrow night, hoping to make Santa’s victorious list for the opportunity to wrap their season with a championship bow on Sunday.

The No. 9–seed Clemson Tigers won their fourth national title on Monday after defeating fellow ACC squad No. 2 Notre Dame.

Four familiar faces — three No. 1 seeds and one No. 2 seed — emerged victorious from Saturday’s national tournament’s tumultuous regional round, booking their tickets to Thursday’s national semifinals in Tampa, FL.

Notre Dame earned a narrow 3–2 victory when these squads met on September 9th — and three months later, both teams are battle-hardened and hungry for some hardware.

After a season of jaw-dropping performances, the four Heisman Trophy finalists — three transfer quarterbacks (QBs) and one wide receiver (WR) — will head to NYC for tomorrow’s 8 p.m. ET award ceremony on ESPN.

As confetti continues falling on the women’s College Cup champ, the four remaining men’s squads will kick off their semifinals tonight, when two previous title-winners, Clemson and Notre Dame, take on final four first-timers West Virginia and Oregon State, respectively.

Overall No. 1–seed Florida State won their fourth national championship — all in the last 10 seasons — with Monday’s blistering 5–1 beatdown of the also-undefeated No. 2 Stanford. Ring ring, destiny’s calling.

The national tournament survivors jump back into the fray with this week’s Regionals — tomorrow’s Round of 16 plus Saturday’s quarter-finals — hosted by the highest-seeded team left in each bracket quadrant (in this case, the four No. 1 seeds).
