what your opponents doing or how your opponents playin

Weve seen this before.The 2016 season starts right where it left off -- with No. 1 Alabama and No. 2 Clemson leading the polls. But what we havent experienced is a Week 1 that features a loaded Saturday (Sept. 3) highlighted by the defending national champs opening against No. 20 USC (8 p.m. ET, ABC), Clemson traveling to Auburn (9 p.m., ESPN), No. 15 Houston trying to upend No. 3 Oklahoma (noon ET, ABC) and No. 5 LSU taking on Wisconsin at Lambeau Field (3:30 p.m ET, ABC), followed by No. 10 Notre Dame heading to Texas (7:30 p.m. ET, ABC) for a Sunday showdown.As Maximus from Gladiator would ask,?Are you not entertained?!As if those ranked matchups arent enough, No. 4 Florida State and No. 11 Ole Miss cap the weekend with a Labor Day battle (8 p.m. ET, ESPN) that will punctuate an unprecedented opening to the season that could shake up the playoff picture before the selection committee even begins to draw it up.Sundays Top 25? Its a starting point, an educated guess at this years front-runners for the College Football Playoff. Its a holdover until the selection committee releases its first official ranking on Nov. 1. Take a closer look, though, and it offers some potential storylines that could make for fascinating debates within the selection committee meeting room:Could the ACC get two teams in the top four?Sure. So could the SEC. The reason the CFP is set up the way it is -- without automatic qualifiers -- is so the selection committee has the freedom to select two teams from one conference. Nowhere does it say that a team must win its league title to earn a spot in a semifinal (otherwise Notre Dame would be out of luck entirely). The tricky part is that a team that failed to win a conference title bears the burden of being unequivocally one of the four best teams in the country.What does that mean? Clearly one of the four best, CFP executive director Bill Hancock says. That team doesnt have to be a unanimous vote among the 12 committee members, but there has to be no doubt in the meeting room that the ACCs Atlantic Division runner-up -- either No. 2 Clemson or No. 4 Florida State -- is better than one of the other Power 5 conference champions and Notre Dame. If Clemsons only loss of the season is by three points to an undefeated FSU team in Tallahassee, theres no question that the Tigers would at least be considered for a semifinal. The same can be said for a one-loss FSU team that beats Ole Miss and Florida. If theres a one-loss Notre Dame team (No. 10 in the APs preseason rankings) in the mix, though, this scenario gets much murkier.Will a new team crash the playoff party?The top four teams in the AP poll -- Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma and Florida State -- have already been on this ride. Cant somebody else get a turn? At No. 5, LSU is the highest-ranked team that hasnt participated in the playoff yet. If LSU loses to Wisconsin in Week 1, the Tigers margin for error shrinks drastically, but any team that has a shot to win its league -- especially the SEC West champ -- has a chance at the top four. Remember, there is almost always a surprise team. Iowa wasnt ranked in last years preseason poll, and the Hawkeyes were in the committees top four heading into the Big Ten title game. This year, it could be No. 9 Tennessee, No. 13 TCU or No. 14 Washington that could make significant leaps.Will the Pac-12 get shut out again?At No. 8, Stanford is the highest-ranked Pac-12 team in the poll, and its a safe pick this time of year, as the Cardinal have won three of the past four league titles. The problem isnt Stanford. Or UCLA. Or USC. Its a grueling, nine-game league schedule, which is a major reason ESPNs Football Power Index projects a 65 percent chance that the Pac-12 champ loses multiple games in conference play. Not only will the members of this league beat up on one another -- the Pac-12 has five teams ranked this preseason -- but also USC opens against Bama, and UCLA opens against Texas A&M. Strength of schedule? Check. Undefeated team? Good luck.What about Jim Harbaugh?College footballs most polarizing personality and Twitter account were one of the top storylines of the summer, but look at the AP Poll and -- gasp! -- Ohio State (No. 6) is still ranked ahead of Michigan (No. 7). Until proved otherwise, the Buckeyes remain the team to beat. ESPNs FPI tells a different story, as it projects the Wolverines to win their first outright Big Ten title since 2003. In order to do that, Michigan has to win at Michigan State, at Iowa and at Ohio State. Its unlikely that well know Michigans true place in the playoff until late November. Nike Shox Clearance .

Andy Murray has hinted that Nick Kyrgios may need a psychologist to help purge his mental demons after the mercurial tennis ace departed Wimbledon in a state of shock.The coachless Kyrgios admitted he didnt know who to turn to after Murray thrashed him in straight sets in a fourth-round mismatch on Monday.One of Kyrgioss closest locker-room allies, Murray said the 21-year-old undoubtedly needed help of some sort after owning up to a mental meltdown on centre court.Its about finding the right people to help you with different things, Murray said after his brutal 7-5 6-1 6-4 win.For some, it may be a coach. For some, it might be a psychologist. Sometimes it might be speaking to family about stuff. Theres not one way of tackling it.But if you want to continue to get better, then you speak and listen to as many people as you can and take onboard the things you think will help you.But everyones different in terms of how they improve and address their problems.Murray, who has now beaten Kyrgios at all four grand slams over the past 18 months while conceding just one set, didnt win his first major title until he was 25 and said time was on the Australians side.But the world No.2 warned Kyrggios to knuckle down and control his side of the net.ddddddddddddYou cant always control what your opponents doing or how your opponents playing, Murray said.But you can apply yourself to every single point and fight for every point, dont give up any cheap games or anything like that.Murray, who has burned through a succession of coaches during his similarly turbulent career, admitted it wasnt easy for tennis players to build the right team around them.Especially its hard because youre responsible for the team thats around you, he said.In a way, youre in charge because youre the one thats funding it, paying it.Sometimes some people might be telling you what they think they want you to hear rather than what you really need to hear.When youre young, it isnt that easy to make those decisions.Sometimes if you dont think someone on your team is doing something right, when youre 19, 20 years old, to tell someone who is 40: `Actually, you know, I think you could be pushing me, I dont like it when you do this, that takes time to learn how to do that.Its not easy.
