The plethora of thrilling Week 1 matchups is unprecedented, and the losers of games like LSU-Wisconsin, USC-Alabama and Florida State-Ole Miss are going to be in precarious playoff positions throughout the rest of the season because they will naturally have less margin for error.Big games? Absolutely. Deal breakers? Not a chance.We turn to conference play for those.The College Football Playoff selection committee puts a great emphasis on winning a conference championship, which is why Week 1 is a much better time to lose. The committee doesnt release its first official ranking until Nov. 1, but all 13 members of the group will be watching each weekend closely.These 10 games are listed in order from most to least likely to sway their final verdict:1. Alabama at LSU, Nov. 5 Win the West, win the SEC, and youre in the playoff, unless something truly bizarre happens. The division should come down to these two heavyweights, and Alabama has won the past five games in the series, dating back to the 2012 BCS National Championship. Its even possible that a two-loss SEC champ earns a top-four spot from the committee, but this game should be an eliminator for one of them.

MONZA, Italy -- Ferrari president Sergio Marchionne admits the F1 team has failed in developing its 2016 car after falling a long way short of pre-season expectations.Ahead of its home race Ferrari is still yet to win a grand prix in 2016, which was supposed to be a year the Italian team took the fight to Mercedes. Instead the team has been embroiled in a battle for second with Red Bull.Speaking ahead of qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix, Marchionne said there is no point pretending the season has been a success so far.I dont think theres a doubt in my mind, theres no use putting sweeteners on the stuff, Marchionne admitted.

The fight starts in 2017 at the first race. ' ' '
