The College Football Playoff selection committee doesnt meet for three more weeks, and heres why: It takes at least two months for conference races to sort themselves out and for the best teams in the country to separate from the rest of pack.
Tanner Lee Hoodie .Were almost halfway through the season and have a much better idea of which teams to take seriously -- and which to eliminate. Heres a look at the major lessons learned in Week 6:Houston is out The Cougars playoff hopes ended with their loss to Navy, and now they need help just to win the American Athletic West division. It was the game that changed the playoff picture the most; Houston was an X-factor with the potential to knock a second Power 5 conference out of the top four. Houstons chances at another New Years Six bowl are also in critical condition because it would have to win the AAC to have a chance at becoming the highest-ranked Group of 5 champion in the selection committees final top 25. The Cougars need Navy to lose twice in order to get back into the conference race.Tennessee is in a must-win situation against Alabama The Vols nine lives have officially expired. After losing to Texas A&M, Tennessee needs to beat Alabama next week, or it will open the door for Florida to possibly win the East. If the Vols have two losses and the Gators win out, Florida will win the East, which makes rescheduling the game against LSU of the utmost importance to the conference race. On the flip side, if Tennessee loses against Alabama and Florida loses at Arkansas on Nov. 5, the Vols (should they win their other remaining games) would still win the East because Tennessee would win the head-to-head tiebreaker. In order to stay in the drivers seat, though, Tennessee has no more margin for error.Its Washington and everyone else in the Pac-12 The Huskies have dismantled Stanford. Theyve plucked the Ducks. They have now officially manhandled the two programs that have combined to win the league in each of the past seven years. With its win over Oregon on Saturday, Washington snapped a 12-game losing streak to the Ducks and left no doubt it is the Pac-12s new contender for the College Football Playoff.Alabama is one step closer to surviving its season-defining stretch Alabamas win at Ole Miss was critical, but its win at Arkansas was where Bamas national title hunt really begins. It was the first of three straight games the Tide will play against ranked opponents, including Tennessee and Texas A&M. It was also the first of three road trips in a four-game span, including at LSU on Nov. 5. The Tides win against the Hogs was arguably the most impressive of Week 6, but its not going to get any easier.Ohio State and Michigan really need to play each other, not Rutgers The Big Ten heavyweights combined to outscore Rutgers 136-0 over the past two weeks. Thats not a typo. The CFP selection committee compares common opponents without incenting margin of victory, but the margin in this one stretches from Ann Arbor to Piscataway and is impossible to ignore. The committee will need the head-to-head result between Ohio State and Michigan to determine the Big Ten representative.Florida State still owns Miami The Canes made one of the best hires of the offseason when they brought in Mark Richt, but their seventh straight loss to Florida State -- as close as it was -- showed the Canes arent ready to close the gap with their rival. Much of that can be attributed to the Noles defense, which had been relentlessly criticized this season. Miami entered the game averaging 235 yards rushing; Florida State held the Hurricanes to 62 and had back-to-back sacks of Brad Kaaya in the fourth quarter. Miami snuck into the AP top 10 after beating Georgia Tech last week but came up short against its first ranked opponent of the season.Dont turn out the lights on Oklahoma just yet Its a long shot, yes, and Houstons loss to Navy certainly didnt help the Sooners résumé, but Oklahoma can still win out and win the Big 12. It would certainly need help -- another conference champion would have to flop along the way -- and it has to look like a top-four team by the end of November, dominating each opponent. The fact that the Sooners have two losses and no league title game to help compensate is going to be extremely difficult to overcome, but if they beat ranked opponents in Baylor and West Virginia, and Ohio State continues to dominate and win the Big Ten, theres simply no telling how the committee might view OU.

Blackwood, 28, has played the last three seasons in the San Diego Padres system, including the past two summers with Class AA San Antonio of the Texas League. THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Amid the usual rush of personnel moves on the final weekend before the NFL season, the Los Angeles Rams also are making their actual move into their new team headquarters.Coach Jeff Fisher is balancing the shuffle of his 53-man roster with the latest change of address in the Rams peripatetic season. Theyre settling into the modular buildings next to their brand-new practice fields in Thousand Oaks, 85 miles from training camp in Irvine and 45 miles from the Coliseum.Weve had a really good couple of days here from the standpoint of moving in and getting settled, and then from the standpoint of making hard decisions on the roster, Fisher said Sunday. Everybody has worked really hard. Were all in the midst of unpacking boxes and getting ready to get back to it.The Rams made numerous cuts Saturday, but Fisher said the roster is far from set for next weeks season opener. He expects changes to the 53-man lineup, along with Los Angeles practice squad signings.Perhaps the Rams most surprising decision was the departure of linebacker Akeem Ayers, a Los Angeles native and UCLA product. Fisher indicated that the Rams are hoping they dont lose Ayers, whose contract was terminated.All of the decisions that we make are difficult, and some of the decisions that you make are not permanent, Fisher said. Akeem has played well for us. Weve enjoyed having him. Were kind of hopeful that this is not the end between us and Akeem, Ill just say that.In Ayers place, the Rams kept three rookie linebackers, including undrafted free agents Cory Littleton and Nic Grigsby. Los Angeles has only three safeties and five linebackers on its current roster along with Mark Barron, who plays a hybrid linebacker/safety role sometimes referred to as weak safety.While Fisher indicated those numbers will change in the next few days, he credited the rookie linebackers for their work.They showed improvement week after week after week, Fisher said. They also showed that they can be productive on special teams in practice, really since the rookie camps and OTAs. Pleased with their progress. Theyve got a ways to go, but we like where the future is with that group.
Leon Jacobs Hoodie. he roster also included rookie receiver Nelson Spruce, the prolific Colorado pass-catcher who grew up a few minutes away in Westlake Village. Spruce, an undrafted free agent, survived the 53-man cut despite being limited to one preseason game by injury.Nelson did a lot of things well, in addition to the preseason game that he played in, Fisher said. Hes healing up. We feel like he has a chance to contribute and make plays.The Rams will begin game preparations for their season opener with a walkthrough on Labor Day, but their moving process will continue for the next few days. After every challenge over the past eight months, Fisher is confident the Rams can handle unpacking a few more boxes.Were still looking for my clock, so theres a few things we havent found yet, but well be up and rolling, Fisher said. As the players came through (Sunday) -- its their day off, mind you, but so many came through just to see it -- they all said, `Wow, this is a lot better than I thought it was. So theyre excited about it. Once you get inside, in a lot of ways theres more space than what we had in St. Louis. Theres a newness to it, and guys are excited about the field. It flows well. People worked really hard.Game notes The Rams signed seven players to their practice squad: WR Paul McRoberts, DE Morgan Fox, DB Michael Jordan, OT Isaiah Battle, LB Brandon Chubb and RBs Aaron Green and Terrence Magee. .. Fisher said the Rams have made contact with Tre Masons family, but still havent spoken directly to the troubled running back. He was placed on a Did Not Report list in July when he didnt show up to training camp after numerous offseason legal troubles. The organizations position, including the league and the players association, is to take care of him and help him to get the help that he needs to get through this life crisis that hes having, Fisher said.---AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL
