In Brief: FSU drops out of newest AP poll
Florida State has fallen out of The Associated Press Top 25 college football poll after starting the season 0-2.
The Seminoles are just the third team to go from preseason top 10 to unranked in the first regular-season poll since the rankings expanded to 25 in 1989.
Georgia and Ohio State remain 1-2 after comfortable wins to open the season.
No. 3 Texas and No. 4 Alabama each moved up a spot, putting three Southeastern Conference teams in the top four along with Georgia.
Notre Dame moved up to No. 5.
Michigan fell to No. 10 after beating San Diego St.
NAVARRO, FRITZ ADVANCE AT OPEN
NEW YORK (AP) — Emma Navarro rode a stunning turnaround right into her first Grand Slam semifinal, beating Paula Badosa 6-2, 7-5 at the U.S. Open to follow up her upset of defending champion Coco Gauff.
Taylor Fritz then earned his first berth in the final four of a major, beating 2020 U.S. Open runner-up Alexander Zverev 7-6 (2), 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (3).
Fritz had been 0-4 in Grand Slam quarterfinals. Frances Tiafoe could give the U.S. a third semifinalist — and a guaranteed chance to play for a championship — if he beats No. 9 Grigor Dimitrov on Tuesday night.
If he wins, the No. 20-seeded Tiafoe would play the 12th-seeded Fritz in Friday’s semis.
PEARSALL RECOVERY LOOKS PROMISING
SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch expects rookie receiver Ricky Pearsall to make a full recovery after he was shot last weekend during an attempted robbery.
Pearsall was hit in the chest and hospitalized overnight after the shooting in central San Francisco.
He was released from the hospital Sunday and was already back at the team facility Monday.
The Niners placed Pearsall on the non-football injury list, which will sideline him for at least four weeks, giving him time to recover from the shooting and a separate shoulder injury that had limited him all summer.
