SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Nico Rosberg says he does not feel under pressure to capitalise on teammate Lewis Hamiltons grid penalty at this weekends Belgian Grand Prix.After falling 19 points behind Hamilton at the last round in Germany, Rosberg has the opportunity to bounce back this weekend as title rival Hamilton is due to start towards the back of the grid. The extent of the penalty depends on how many extra engine components Mercedes decides to use this weekend, but Hamilton is expected to start at least 15-places lower than the position he qualifies in on Saturday.Given Mercedes dominance so far this year it should give Rosberg a clear shot at victory, but he says the pressure to perform does not feel any more intense than any other race.It doesnt change the pressure I put myself under this weekend because I would love to have a great weekend and get the best out of it and win the race, he said. I am aware of Lewis misfortune with the grid penalty and that will make the weekend less difficult for me because he is my direct rival.Nevertheless, it will still be a challenge because if we remember a few weeks ago I finished behind the Red Bulls, so I still need to beat the opposition and even with Lewis you always need to reckon with him because with a bit of luck, or safety cars in the right moment there is no reason he cant come from very far back on the grid, especially at a track like this where you can overtake very easily.Asked if only a win would be acceptable this weekend, Rosberg added: No that would not be the right approach. I would love to win the race.Red Bull are expected to be strong again this weekend, but Rosberg does not see that as an opportunity to close the gap in the standings by getting more cars between him and Hamilton by the end of the race.No [I dont see it like that], because I dont look at points, he said. I would like to win the race and the Red Bulls being stronger is going to be a bigger challenge this weekend to win the race. That is how my thinking goes. Michael Conforto Jersey . Artturi Lehkonen, Joni Nikko and Ville Leskinen had the other goals for Finland (1-0) while Juuse Saros stopped 28 shots. Tim Robin Johnsgard had the lone goal for Norway (0-2). Mike Piazza Jersey .C. - The Carolina Hurricanes have placed backup goalie Anton Khudobin on injured reserve with an unspecified lower-body injury. http://www.metsrookiestore.com/Mets-Jacob-Degrom-Kids-Jersey/ . But what about the officials? Every sport has officials and they also have stories about hard work and sacrifice but their accomplishments are seldom recognized by anyone outside their inner circle. Yoenis Cespedes Jersey . There was no hesitation from the 40th-ranked Pospisil, from Vernon, B.C., who admitted that he cut back on his training sessions over the last few days to conserve energy as the long ATP season finishes next week at the Paris Masters. Amed Rosario Jersey . Galatasaray said in a statement on its website Monday that Mancini signed a three-year contract and will be paid 3.5 million euros for the upcoming season, with his salary upped to 4. Ohio State didnt win the Big Ten, but the Buckeyes will play for a much bigger prize. Their national title hopes are still very much intact.Thats rare, but not unprecedented.Ranked second by the AP and third by the playoff committee, the Buckeyes will take on Clemson in a national semifinal . Ohio State is the first team in the playoffs three-year history to be included despite failing to win its conference.During the Bowl Championship Series era, however, three teams made it to the title game after falling short within their conferences. Heres a look at how it happened:NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS (2001)Why They Didnt Win Their Conference: The Cornhuskers were undefeated heading into their regular-season finale at Colorado, but the Buffaloes drubbed Nebraska 62-36. That prevented the Cornhuskers from even playing in the Big 12 championship game.We really had a big dream, Nebraska QB Eric Crouch said after the game. Those are over with now. This is going to be a tough one to swallow.What Happened Next: Nebraska fell from first to fourth in the BCS standings after the loss, trailing Miami, Florida and Texas. Florida lost to Tennessee the following week, and Texas fell to Colorado in the Big 12 title game. Tennessee briefly held the No. 2 BCS slot before losing to LSU in the SEC championship game.Nebraska, which hadnt played at all since being routed by Colorado, ended up back at No. 2 in the BCS standings, just ahead of Colorado and Oregon. Both major polls had Oregon No. 2.What Happened In The End: Nebraska was ranked No. 4 in the AP poll when it took the field for the BCS title game at the Rose Bowl. The Cornhuskers were overmatched. Miami led 34-0 at halftime and went on to win 37-14.---OKLAHOMA SOONERS (2003)Why They Didnt Win Their Conference: The Sooners went unbeaten during the regular season but were routed 35-7 by Kansas State in the Big 12 title game.dddddddddddd.Im not going to sit here and lobby for any bowl, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said afterward. We just got whipped. They outplayed us in every part of the game.What Happened Next: Stoops didnt need to lobby. Oklahoma was No. 1 in the BCS standings before it lost to Kansas State -- and still No. 1 afterward. The Sooners ended up facing LSU in the BCS title game. Southern California was left out despite being No. 1 in both polls.The Final Result: Playing in its home state at the Sugar Bowl, LSU held off Oklahoma 21-14 to take the BCS title. USC, which beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl, won the AP national title.---ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE (2011)Why They Didnt Win Their Conference: Alabama hosted LSU in a matchup of unbeatens on Nov. 5, with the Tigers prevailing 9-6 in overtime. Neither team lost for the rest of the regular season, so it was the Tigers who represented the SEC West in the league title game.Id be honored to face that team again, LSU coach Les Miles said after the victory over the Crimson Tide.What Happened Next: Alabama fell only one spot to No. 3 in the BCS standings after losing to LSU, but there were a few undefeated teams still to contend with -- Oklahoma State at No. 2, Stanford at No. 4 and even Boise State at No. 5. Stanford and Boise State lost the following weekend, and Oklahoma States double-overtime loss to Iowa State on Nov. 18 opened the door for an LSU-Alabama rematch in the BCS title game.The Final Result: In another defensive struggle, Alabama held LSU to five first downs, beating the Tigers 21-0 to claim the national title.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister Cheap Soccer Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Hockey Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap Nike MLB Jerseys China Wholesale Baseball Jerseys China Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys Near Me Cheap Jerseys Online Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap NCAA Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic MLB Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Throwback Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
