What's Next: Agilent Technologies's Earnings PreviewANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan's defense of the national championship has fallen woefully short. The Wolverines started the season ranked No. 9 in the AP Top 25, making them the third college football team since 1991 to be ranked worse than seventh in the preseason poll after winning a national title. Michigan (6-5, 4-4 Big Ten) failed to meet those modest expectations, barely becoming eligible to play in a bowl and putting the program in danger of losing six or seven games for the first time since the Brady Hoke era ended a decade ago. The Wolverines potentially can ease some of the pain with a win against rival and second-ranked Ohio State (10-1, 7-1, No. 2 CFP) on Saturday in the Horseshoe, but that would be a stunning upset. Ohio State is a 21 1/2-point favorite, according to the BetMGM Sportsbook, and that marks just the third time this century that there has been a spread of at least 20 1/2 points in what is known as "The Game." People are also reading... Michigan coach Sherrone Moore doesn't sound like someone who is motivating players with an underdog mentality. "I don't think none of that matters in this game," Moore said Monday. "It doesn't matter the records. It doesn't matter anything. The spread, that doesn't matter." How did Michigan end up with a relative mess of a season on the field, coming off its first national title since 1997? Winning it all with a coach and star player contemplating being in the NFL for the 2024 season seemed to have unintended consequences for the current squad. The Wolverines closed the College Football Playoff with a win over Washington on Jan. 8; several days later quarterback J.J. McCarthy announced he was skipping his senior season; and it took more than another week for Jim Harbaugh to bolt to coach the Los Angeles Chargers. In the meantime, most quality quarterbacks wanting to transfer had already enrolled at other schools and Moore was left with lackluster options. Davis Warren beat out Alex Orji to be the team's quarterback for the opener and later lost the job to Orji only to get it back again. No matter who was under center, however, would've likely struggled this year behind an offensive line that sent six players to the NFL. The Wolverines lost one of their top players on defense, safety Rod Moore, to a season-ending injury last spring and another one, preseason All-America cornerback Will Johnson, hasn't played in more than a month because of an injury. The Buckeyes are not planning to show any mercy after losing three straight in the series. "We're going to attack them," Ohio State defensive end Jack Sawyer said. "We know they're going to come in here swinging, too, and they've still got a good team even though the record doesn't indicate it. This game, it never matters what the records are." While a win would not suddenly make the Wolverines' season a success, it could help Moore build some momentum a week after top-rated freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood flipped his commitment from LSU to Michigan. "You come to Michigan to beat Ohio," said defensive back Quinten Johnson, intentionally leaving the word State out when referring to the rival. "That's one of the pillars of the Michigan football program. "It doesn't necessarily change the fact of where we are in the season, but it definitely is one of the defining moments of your career here at Michigan."

Just keep spinning. Bryant Park’s iconic carousel is back up and running two days after a fire tore through a nearby stall at the green space’s famed holiday market and shuttered several kiosks until further notice, workers told The Post on Sunday. A 19-year-old carousel worker who only gave the initials KM estimated that the carousel ride, located steps away from where Friday’s fire erupted, lost thousands of dollars on the day of the blaze when it had to be shut down. The park attraction was back up and spinning the next day. “We had to close for the day,” KM said. “I was coming into work that day, but then before I left my house, I got a message from my boss, and they were like, ‘Hey, there’s a fire. So you can’t come in to work today.’ ” Trinity Thompson, a stall worker at nearby Babka Bailout, said the fire clean-up effort “was just really fast. “The fire department came [and] blew it out. And then I think two, three hours later, it was just cleaned up in the parking lot. It’s business as usual,” said Thompson, 24. The employee wasn’t working when the fire broke out about 9:20 a.m. She said the blaze didn’t have a big impact on Babka Bailout, which is near the Seapark seafood kiosk where the fire originated. The raging fire at a stall for Seapark – which offers lobster rolls and seafood fries – was “accidental, caused by cooking oil coming in contact with combustibles,” the FDNY said. The blaze appeared to have started as a trash fire, sources told The Post, and then spread to the 6-foot-by-40-foot kiosk. The fire was placed under control by around 10 a.m., officials said later Friday. “There was slight damage to the adjacent kiosk, and there was some heat impingement on the roof of the ice-skating rink behind the kiosk on fire,” FDNY Chief of Battalion 9, Joe Castellano, told reporters at the time. “No real fire spread, just some flame impingement, and you see a little browning of the white roof structure.” Despite the swift recovery effort, not all businesses seemed to get back up on their feet as quickly as others. Seapark is one of four kiosks that remain closed until further notice, according to the vendor’s social media pages. Kiosks for Down the Chimney, Criollas and 4×4 Burger were also shuttered fornow, Seapark said. The holiday market is due to close its doors Jan. 5. “My parents and I have worked so hard to keep this business going for the last few years, and we are now going to endure an extremely heavy lost [sic],” Seapark founders’ son Daniel Xie wrote in a GoFundMe post for the eatery, which amassed nearly half of its $9,000 goal in 48 hours. While most vendors told The Post their business hadn’t been affected by the blaze – and unaffected stalls were able to open starting later in the day Friday – KM reported the carousel’s workers weren’t paid for the day off. “I’m not too worried about the carousel making money, but ... I did not get paid for not coming in that day,” KM said. “It was kind of a bummer, but, you know, s–t happens,” he said. “But still, that kind of sucks, especially during the holidays – [not] being able to help out my family” with the extra cash.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot opted not to make a double change at half-time against West Ham despite Jamie Carragher's pleas. The trip to the London Stadium rounded off the 19th gameweek of the season for Slot's team, though they have played just 18 times as a match against Everton was postponed . Players picking up five yellow cards during the first 19 games in the league earn a one-match ban, though the threshold for a ban climbs to 10 bookings after that point. With Liverpool up against Manchester United in their next game, Ryan Gravenberch and Cody Gakpo needed to avoid bookings against West Ham if they wanted to play a part at Anfield on January 5. Gakpo was one of three Reds stars to score before half=time in an eventual 5-0 win , prompting Carragher to call for changes. "Gravenberch & Gakpo off at [half-time] please Arne," the former Liverpool defender wrote on social media. Slot ended up waiting a little longer, though, only withdrawing the pair after a fourth goal had gone in. Luis Diaz put Liverpool in front at the London Stadium, with Mohammed Kudus inches away from an equaliser as he beat Alisson but only found the foot of the post. Gakpo doubled the lead after fine work from Mohamed Salah , and there was no way back for the hosts when Salah made it three before the break, Gravenberch had a hand in the fourth, feeding Trent Alexander-Arnold to fire a deflected effort out of the reach of Alphonse Areola in the West Ham goal, The Dutch international then made way for Wataru Endo shortly before the hour mark, with compatriot Gakpo leaving the field to be replaced by Diogo Jota. Jota scored the fifth in the closing stages, with West Ham hitting the woodwork two more times but failing to deliver a shot on target. The result kept Liverpool eight points clear of Nottingham Forest , who beat Everton earlier in the afternoon, while Chelsea and Arsenal can close the gap to Slot's side in the coming days. Should Arne Slot have made changes sooner? Have your say in the comments section "Yeah [lots of goals] but loads of chances as well," Slot told Match of the Day after Liverpool's win. "It was 3-0 at half time but soon after that we could have scored three. "On the other side it was good that not every chance that they had went in, they had two or three, one hit the post and one hit the bar. Against Leicester they had one chance and scored. We were a bit unlucky that we did not score in the first few minutes but as well we were lucky that at 1-0 Kudus hit the post." Hammers boss Julen Lopetegui was full of praise for Liverpool, who had already put five past his team in the Carabao Cup earlier in the season. "Today we have played against one of the best teams in the world in this current moment, but it is true that we have to do much better," he said.

The Colorado assistant was on his players as they worked out at the UTSA football facility for the first time this week in preparation for Saturday’s Valero Alamo Bowl against BYU (5:30 p.m. MT, ABC). “I needed to make sure they understood just because we’re in Texas, we’re gonna coach like we’re in Colorado,” Hart said. “We’re gonna get our job done today.” After reaching a bowl game for the first time since the 2020 Alamo Bowl, the Buffs are intent on doing all they can to come away with a win. Tuesday wasn’t the best start in Texas, though, according to Hart. “I don’t think the energy or the focus was to our standards, to be honest with you,” Hart said. “We want high standards, and we have a ceiling. So whatever you expect to get out of this bowl practice, if it’s not our standards, it’s not enough.” Fortunately for the Buffs, there’s still more practice before Saturday’s game. “Just keep pushing them, to make sure we get the very best out of them,” Hart said. “I think that’s what you have to do to be a good coach. Give them the praises on the things they do right, but always find something that you can correct and get better at. So the energy was not there to where we needed to be (Tuesday), and tomorrow we’ve got to come out a lot sharper.” While Tuesday may not have been up to CU’s usual standards, head coach Deion Sanders had been pleased with the bowl preparation leading up to the flight to San Antonio on Monday, calling it “great.” CU certainly can’t blame the facilities. The Buffs enjoyed their first look at the RACE (Roadrunner Athletics Center of Excellence) facility at UTSA, a $40.4 million venue that opened in 2021. “I like what we had, as far as the space they gave us, the locker rooms opening up,” Hart said. “We really appreciated that. And then also the field, you know, having a grass and a turf field to work back and forth on gives you the space, and letting us use their equipment. That’s really big. I’ve never been to UTSA’s facility, but it’s a really nice facility. I mean, I was really impressed.” So was senior defensive end BJ Green, who also enjoyed being away from Colorado’s elevation. “I’m really appreciative of UTSA allowing us to use their facilities,” Green said. “The turf and the grass is really, really nice. It’s also cool to be below all that altitude. I can breathe. It’s great.” Although Tuesday wasn’t CU’s best practice, Green is confident the Buffs have come to San Antonio with the right mentality, led by a veteran coaching staff. “Even though the team doesn’t have as much bowl experience, we have a lot of people on staff who have (experience in) bowls, Super Bowl experience,” Green said. “So just having those types of people on staff, they know what the expectation is, and they implement that for the guys who don’t know what it looks like. So for the guys who do know it looks like, we carry it along as well.” Green is one who knows what bowl prep looks like. In 2021, he went to the Las Vegas Bowl when he played at Arizona State. It took a while to get back to a bowl, though, and the process to get here and the reward of being in San Antonio isn’t lost on Green. “It’s a blessing,” he said. “I’ve only been to one bowl game in my college career. So just take it all in. Winning is hard, so being at this point, getting as far as we did when people said we wouldn’t is a blessing. And being at a prestigious bowl like the Alamo Bowl is a blessing. “Even night one (on Monday), just seeing all the festivities and stuff, was just something we had to just take in. We’re all happy to be here.”ILWU provides hundreds of families with Thanksgiving dinner baskets
