game, Mommsen said. So it was a very, Antworten

Tuesday was only the first of six release days for the College Football Playoff rankings. There is still plenty of time for teams to make or break their playoff hopes.LSU is not done yet.Nebraska? Going after the seemingly vulnerable Buckeyes.Week 10 features just two games between ranked teams, but they will have major playoff implications in the SEC and Big Ten. Heres a look at whats at stake for all four teams in the games with the biggest impact:Alabama at LSUIf Alabama wins: Alabama can knock LSU out of the conversation for good and further assert itself as the best team in the SEC and the country with another road win against a ranked division opponent. ESPNs Football Power Index projects that if the Tide win on Saturday, their chances of winning the SEC increase to 74 percent. The FPI favors Alabama to win each of its four remaining games but shows this one will be the most difficult, with a 65.5 percent chance to win.?If LSU wins: Hello, chaos. LSU would own a head-to-head tiebreaker over the defending national champs but would still have to win out and need Auburn to lose again. Winning out will be tough, with a road trip to Texas A&M on Thanksgiving -- just five days after playing the rescheduled Florida game -- but its possible Auburn could lose to Alabama in the Iron Bowl. ESPNs FPI gives Auburn a 23.3 percent chance to beat the Tide. The more likely scenario is Alabama wins out and LSU loses again, leaving the Tide right where they started -- at the top of the SEC. Another possibility is Alabama loses a second time and Texas A&M wins out -- leaving the Aggies atop the West. See? Chaos.Nebraska at Ohio State (8 p.m. ET, ABC)If Nebraska wins: The two-loss Buckeyes likely would be doomed in the playoff picture, while the Huskers stock -- and their chances of winning the West division -- would both increase. According to the FPI, Nebraska has a 25 percent chance to win the West, but if it can beat Ohio State, that will rise to 56 percent. This is the second of back-to-back road games against ranked opponents for Nebraska, after losing last week to Wisconsin. This is the kind of statement win that would catch the committees attention, and Nebraska needs it. So far its only road wins have come against unranked Northwestern and Indiana.If Ohio State wins: The Buckeyes will keep their playoff hopes alive and continue staring down what should be a season-defining home game on Nov. 26 against Michigan to determine the East winner. Nebraska will drop into a two-loss tie with Wisconsin in the West, and the Badgers will hold the tiebreaker by virtue of their victory Saturday over the Huskers. Nebraskas only hope if it loses would be for Wisconsin to lose again, but the Badgers are favored by the FPI to win each of their four remaining games against unranked opponents. With four Power 5 undefeated teams remaining and a strong collection of one-loss teams for the committee to choose from, Ohio State cant afford to slip up at home on Saturday. One more scenario to consider: Penn State still can win the East if it wins out and Michigan loses twice.Playoff pictureTexas A&M at Mississippi State: The Aggies are on the bubble, and they are favored by the FPI to win each of their remaining games. This is their last road test of the season, and if they can win out, they will stay in the debate.Vanderbilt at Auburn: The Tigers have won five straight and played their way back into the conference title conversation. They have to win out, and hope Texas A&M stumbles again.Louisville at Boston College: After close wins against Duke and Virginia, Louisville cant afford another nail-biter against an unranked 4-4 team. Its time for the Cards to earn some style points.Wisconsin at Northwestern: The Badgers are in must-win mode from here on out. Last weeks important win over Nebraska wont amount to anything if Wisconsin loses a third league game.Maryland at Michigan: Hey look, another home game! This will be the Wolverines seventh game in Ann Arbor, and another one against an unranked opponent likely wont move the committee much.Syracuse at Clemson: Clemson is coming off a critical, emotional win at Florida State, and this could be closer than some might expect. Syracuse is coming off back-to-back wins and had a bye week to prepare.Florida at Arkansas: The Gators have a clear path to winning the SEC East, especially now that Tennessee has collapsed with three losses, but this is a must-win. The only team the Gators have beaten on the road is Vandy, and they still have to play at LSU on Nov. 19. If Florida loses at Arkansas and at LSU, Kentucky or a three-loss Tennessee will win the East. Thats cringe-worthy.Washington at Cal: The Huskies have played the easiest nonconference schedule in the FBS, which is why road wins are critical to impress the committee. They got a big one last week against Utah, but they cant afford to slip up against a team that is 2-3 in league play.SuperlativesPlayer in the spotlight: LSU running back Leonard Fournette. Fournette has come back from an ankle injury this season and is coming off a school-record 284 rushing yards against Ole Miss. Last year, though, Alabama held Fournette to a season-low 31 yards on 19 carries, and he was hit at or behind the line of scrimmage 11 times. He -- and his offensive line -- will be challenged again, as Alabamas run defense is No. 1 in yards per rush and rushing touchdowns allowed.Matchup to watch: Nebraska quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. versus Ohio States secondary. Armstrong has thrown 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions this season. The Buckeyes are fourth in turnover margin (plus-1.25 per game), third in pass efficiency defense (93.5) and ninth in passing yards allowed (171.1). Sophomore safety Malik Hooker is tied for 11th nationally with four interceptions.Upset watch: Florida at Arkansas. Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen is expected to return from a knee injury, and he needs to be healthy in order for a chance at the upset. The Razorbacks had a bye week to recover from their embarrassing 56-3 loss to Auburn, and they now have back-to-back home games to reset.Can-miss game: Tennessee Tech at Tennessee. Its not even that Tennessee Tech is a 3-5 FCS team -- its that the Vols have lost three straight, star running back Jalen Hurd has decided to transfer and Rocky Flop is the trendy nickname.Dont forget about: Kentucky. If the Wildcats win out -- and Florida loses twice (think at Arkansas and at LSU) -- then Kentucky wins the East. Repeat: Kentucky can win the East. The Wildcats host Georgia on Saturday and then finish their SEC schedule on Nov. 12 at Tennessee.Under-the-radar game: Air Force at Army. With a win, Air Force clinches the Commander-in-Chiefs Trophy for the fourth time in the past seven seasons. If Army wins, the Black Knights would have a chance to clinch the trophy against Navy on Dec. 10. Army hasnt won the trophy since 1996.Hold that thought: Dont hand Clemson the Atlantic Division title just yet. Clemson can clinch it on Saturday if it beats Syracuse and both Louisville and Wake Forest lose. Jack Conklin Jersey .com) - The Pittsburgh Penguins placed forward James Neal on injured reserve Tuesday. Austin Johnson Jersey . After a replay, the winner will meet Sunderland in the quarterfinals. Sagbo did well to control Sone Alukos right cross and fire past Brighton goalkeeper Peter Brezovan. Aluko was making his first start in four months after recovering from an Achilles injury. http://www.cheaptitansjerseyselite.com/?tag=cheap-kareem-orr-jersey . But when it comes to determining if Raymond will find a place on the Leafs roster when training camp concludes in a week, well, that decision will ultimately fall to the head coach. Parker Hesse Jersey . "Were just throwing s--- at the wall hoping something sticks," said Tortorella about the possible line combinations for Fridays game against Columbus. The Canucks have lost five straight games and six of their last seven, leaving them in a logjam in the Pacific Division, currently sitting fifth - good for ninth in the Western Conference. Kevin Pamphile Jersey . McPhee said that Ovechkins father Mikhail is in stable condition after having the surgery this week and is no longer in intensive care. "Weve told him to stay as long as necessary with your dad," he said. Ovechkin and his Russian national team were eliminated from the mens hockey tournament in Sochi on Wednesday with a 3-1 quarter-final loss to Finland. Scotland captain Preston Mommsen called the achievement of three Scotland players - himself, Kyle Coetzer and Richie Berrington - crossing 1000 career ODI runs in their 98-run win over UAE pretty special. He also said the trio should now aim to become the first Scotland players to cross the 2000-run mark.I was quite surprised to hear that, Mommsen told ESPNcricinfo after being informed of the feat. I think all three of us were. It was a nice little landmark and quite a nice thing that we could do it in the same game as well, so very happy.Prior to Sunday, the only other Scotland players to achieve the mark were Neil McCallum and Scotlands all-time leader Gavin Hamilton, who sits at 1231 runs from 38 ODIs between 1999 and 2010. Mommsen said being in such esteemed company made the accomplishment all the more meaningful.It is pretty special, Mommsen said. I think being one of the first five Scottish players ever to score 1000 runs in ODIs, thats something Im very proud of. Im sure the others are as well. Theres no reason why we cant really push on and try and double that up and be the first guys to get to 2000.Crossing 1000 ODI career runs may not sound like much in an era where players from Full Member nations regularly notch up the same number in a calendar year. However, its important to put those milestones into context. Berrington, who took the longest of the three Scotland players to get to the mark, has played in 49 out of Scotlands 63 possible ODIs since making his debut in July 2008 against Ireland. Most other Full Member nations would have that many ODIs scheduled in two years rather than eight in Scotlands bare-bones fixture list.Even when Scotland are able to secure precious ODI fixtures, the weather can wreak havoc on their plans, thus impacting players career figures. Scotland have played 30 home ODIs since their inaugural match on home soil against Bangladesh in the 1999 World Cup though their first bilateral home contest was not until 2006 against Pakistan. Since 2006, Scotland have had six home ODIs washed out, and another three ending in no results. Overall, nine out of their 36 scheduled home ODI fixtures in history - 25 percent - have either been abandoned or unable to be completed.To put those numbers into perspective, Australia have had a total of 420 home ODIs since the first one, against England in January 1971, with 13 ending in no results and a further four abandoned. Thats just four percent of their home fixtures. The most weather-affected Full Member, Sri Lanka, are still some ways off from Scotlands percentage of rain-affected home matches. Since their first home ODI, in 1982, Sri Lanka have had a total of 232 ODIs at home, with 20 ending in no result and a further 10 abandoned for a 12.09-percent mark (Note: calculated as 30/248. The total of 248 games includes started matches, and abandoned and cancelled fixtures).Taking into consideration the paucity of ODI fixtures for Associate teams in general, and the innate meteorological obstacles in front of Scotland on home soil, making 1000 ODI runs is a tremendous achievement for Mommsen, Coetzer and Berrington. The rarity of it highlights not just their skills but their longevity too, and each player has done it in contrasting styles.Coetzer has made his name as a high-octane opener who, at times, can be high risk, high reward. His third ton on Sunday is now the most for Scotland in ODI cricket, with his other two coming against Afghanistan in 2013 and a majestic career-best 156 last year in the World Cup against Bangladesh. Coetzer, though, made light of the fact that hes just as capable of a low score, having made three ducks in his last four innings pprior to Sundays 127.dddddddddddd.Its obviously very special, Coetzer said after the game. I think every one of the guys that have now passed 1000 runs, its a special achievement. I guess, for me, I was more aware that I got a couple zeros leading into the game, but I just sort of seem to be either all or nothing at the moment. I was happy to just get off the mark, first of all, and then you just take it from there, but its a very special day for a couple of us and it was nice for us all to do it on the same day.Berrington is perhaps the most selfless and versatile of the three. He has Scotlands highest T20I score, opening the batting to make 100 off 58 balls against Bangladesh in 2012. In ODIs, he has batted anywhere from No. 4 to 7, shifting around to the needs of the team. His high score in ODIs came against Ireland in 2014, an unbeaten 101, but Mommsen paid tribute to Berringtons dynamic traits by calling a rapid 56 off 23 balls at No. 6 in a record Scotland chase, against Ireland in 2011 his most memorable knock.Its been brilliant sharing their careers. Theyve had some great occasions where they have won games in their own right, Mommsen said. I can think of Richie Berringtons, I think its one of the top ten quickest fifties I think he scored here against Ireland when we successfully chased 310 or something [sic 320], really gave us massive impetus in the back-end of the innings and ended up winning the game.For Mommsen, shouldering the responsibility of captaincy has brought out the best in him to get him to the 1000-run mark, though hes done it with perhaps the least bit of fanfare. Upon reaching his century on Sunday, he seemed slightly reluctant to take off his helmet in saluting his team-mates and the crowd, giving a cursory nod and wave of the bat before carrying on with the final two overs, his focus locked in on finishing off the innings to help Scotland to a defendable total.Just getting to todays moment for the three of them might not have been possible were it not for Mommsens 78 against Kenya in the 2014 World Cup Qualifier in New Zealand. It was a paradoxical innings, a game of monumental importance, with ODI status and Scotlands professional future at stake, played in anonymity, away from any TV cameras, but one that Mommsen holds as his favourite moment along the way to reaching 1000 runs.That was playing literally for a place in the World Cup, playing for most of our careers, and full-time contracts probably would have been down the drain had we not won that game, Mommsen said. So it was a very, very important game and we managed to get across the line and being able to contribute towards that is something I was very proud of.Mommsens ambition for the three of them to double up and get to 2000 ODI runs is a reasonable target, particularly with age mostly on their side - Mommsen is the youngest at 28, Berrington is 29 and Coetzer, 32 - but an enhanced fixture list is also a necessity. At the moment, Tuesdays
