Touchdown: In the first ever Super Bowl of college football, Ohio State beat the Oregon Ducks last night 42-20 to take the first official College Football Playoff championship. Dropped balls and penalties killed the Ducks as they were ground down by the Ohio red machine. Ohio’s bruising sophomore ball carrier Ezekiel Elliot ran for 246 yards and four touchdowns.

On the Ohio State campus, police dispersed exuberant crowds with teargas and pepper spray.

The game may have been an historic turning point in college football, not for the sport, but the money. Football playing universities, the ESPN network, and even gamblers are expected to be counting hundreds of millions of dollars this morning made off the unpaid labor of college football players. In the short term it’s a windfall for the grownups, but in the long term it may lead to college athletes demanding to be paid.

Sorry: White House spokesman Josh Earnest admitted the White House made a mistake not sending a high level official to march in Paris Sunday for an anti-terror demonstration by hundreds of thousands of people.

Loving: South Dakota’s ban on gay marriage was struck down yesterday by a federal judge who said the same-sex couples who challenged the law “have a fundamental right to marry.” She wrote, “South Dakota law deprives them of that right solely because they are same-sex couples and without sufficient justification.” In her decision the judge frequently cited the famous Virginia case about interracial marriage known in legal shorthand as Loving.
