Buoyed by its convincing win over Washington State in the Apple Cup, Washington reappeared in the top four this week of the College Football Playoff selection committees rankings.The Huskies, though, might not want to get too comfortable there. Not yet, anyway.The Big Ten is still positioned to potentially get two teams into the playoff, which could be bad news for Washington.Ohio State, coming off a 30-27, double-overtime win over Michigan, remained No. 2 this week. Clemson was No. 3 and can clinch a spot in the playoff with a win over Virginia Tech on Saturday in the ACC championship game. The Buckeyes will be watching from home this weekend, which could create a difficult decision for the committee.No. 7 Penn State will face No. 6 Wisconsin in Saturdays Big Ten championship game, and things could get interesting if Penn State beats Wisconsin. Not only would the Nittany Lions add another top-10 win to their résumé, but theyd lock up the Big Ten championship and have a head-to-head win over Ohio State, a game that was played on Oct. 22 and not during the first few weeks of the season.From the day the College Football Playoff became a reality, weve heard about the importance of conference championships, head-to-head results and schedule strength.Granted, Ohio State would have one fewer loss than Penn State in the above scenario, but would the committee -- after applying the conference championship quotient -- be impressed enough, unequivocally so, with the Buckeyes that they would opt for Ohio State over Penn State, even though the Nittany Lions would own the conference championship and the head-to-head win over the Buckeyes?Heres why unequivocally is in quotes: For a nonconference champion to get in over a conference champion, the committees protocol states that it has to believe the nonconference champion is unequivocally better than the conference champion.So even with a win over Colorado in the Pac-12 championship game on Friday, Washington is probably going to have to sweat it out until the final rankings are released Sunday. The Huskies weak nonconference schedule could be what costs them if its close with one of the Big Ten teams. Their nonconference slate was ranked 127th out of 128 FBS teams. Their three nonconference wins were over Rutgers, Idaho and Portland State.Colorado would be a long shot if the Buffaloes beat Washington in the Pac-12 championship game, but one of their chief stumbling blocks would be Michigan. The Wolverines, who dropped to No. 5 in this weeks rankings, beat the Buffaloes back in September and own three top-10 wins. In other words, dont count out the Wolverines.The Big 12 remains on the outside looking in and will need an upset or two in one of the other conference championship games to have any shot at the playoff. No. 9 Oklahoma (9-2, 8-0 Big 12) and No. 10 Oklahoma State (9-2, 7-1 Big 12) square off on Saturday in Norman in what amounts to a de facto Big 12 championship game. Keep in mind that Oklahoma lost 45-24 at home to Ohio State back in September, so a scenario in which the Sooners would get in over the Buckeyes seems unlikely.Another interesting development in the latest rankings is No. 12 Florida State being ahead of No. 13 Louisville, even though the Cardinals routed the Seminoles 63-20 during the regular season and are two games ahead of the Cardinals in the ACC standings.Also, it appears that No. 14 Auburn is in the drivers seat to get a Sugar Bowl bid. The Tigers are the SECs highest-ranked team behind No. 1 Alabama.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Jimbo Fisher lauded Florida State University President John Thrasher Tuesday for seeing the big picture the day after the school announced the coachs contract extension.Fisher, 77-17 in seven seasons at Florida State, signed a two-year extension that will keep him at the school through the 2024 season. It is the second time in two years Fisher has had his contract redone by Thrasher.Weve really built something really special and I want to continue it for a long time, Fisher said. I think President Thrasher has been awesome with that and seeing the big picture with everything that goes on. He loves it and understands what we do. We understand our importance to this university too and how we represent it and things that go on.Since Fisher took over the program in 2010 after the retirement of Bobby Bowden, Florida State has redone its practice fields, built an indoor facility, overhauled the locker room and added a players lounge.A bigger renovation of Doak Campbell Stadium is a long-term priority but something that is more immediate is adding new athlete dorms along with an athletics academic center. Thrasher said he is hopeful that he can begin adding private funding for that early next year and is hopefuul that more concrete plans can be finalized before the fall.ddddddddddddEven though he received plenty of questions from reporters about the opening at LSU after Les Miles was fired, Fisher said wasnt asked about it too many times from members of his coaching staff, players or potential recruits.The 10th-ranked Seminoles (9-3) wrapped up the first portion of practices for their Dec. 30 game against No. 6 Michigan in the Orange Bowl. The players are off until Saturday, when they will travel to South Florida and resume preparations.Fisher said he would have preferred spending Christmas in Tallahassee but that the timetable did not work out.Well practice a little bit on Christmas day then well have a dinner that night and everything together like a family and try to spend a lot of time with them, he said. We start school a little bit later than normal, (Jan. 9) so they get back a couple extra days for the holidays. Itll be good to be with them and everybody.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Joe Reedy on Twitter at www.twitter.com/joereedy Jerseys NFL China Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys From China Cheap MLB Jerseys Wholesale China Jerseys NFL Jerseys China Discount Soccer Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys China China NCAA Jerseys Cheap Cheap Nike Dolphins Jerseys Cheap Nike Patriots Jerseys Cheap Nike Jets Jerseys Cheap Nike Bengals Jerseys Cheap Nike Browns Jerseys Cheap Nike Steelers Jerseys Cheap Nike Texans Jerseys Cheap Nike Colts Jerseys Cheap Nike Jaguars Jerseys Cheap Nike Titans Jerseys Cheap Nike Broncos Jerseys ' ' '
