College football is making it easy on the 12 judges of the sport -- again.When the College Football Playoff selection committee releases its first of six rankings on Tuesday, Alabama, Clemson, Michigan and Washington -- all still undefeated -- should comprise their top four.The biggest question is in what order, following No. 1 Alabama.Week 9 was the final chance for teams to impress the selection committee before their first meeting of the season, which begins on Monday at the Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine, Texas. Heres a look at five lasting impressions from Saturday which could influence the committees top 25:1. The Big 12 is in big trouble After nine weeks, the Big 12 looks like the Power 5 conference most likely to be left out of the top four. Baylor and West Virginia both joined the one-loss club on Saturday, and neither of them has a win over a ranked opponent on its résumé. That will be a problem when the committee compares them against other one-loss teams, like Texas A&M, that have played tougher schedules. Baylors nonconference schedule is ranked 127th out of 128, according to ESPNs Football Power Index, and it doesnt have any wins over teams currently ranked in the Associated Press Top 25. A loss to an unranked 4-4 Texas team will be nearly impossible to overcome. West Virginia had separated itself by playing defense in wins over Texas Tech and TCU, but the Mountaineers had three turnovers that led to 17 points for Oklahoma State. That leaves two-loss Oklahoma in the conference lead -- and thats not good for the Big 12s playoff hopes.2. Washington earned its first statement road win Still undefeated after travelling to No. 17 Utah, Washington further legitimized its case to be in the committees top four. The Huskies had dominated lesser competition -- including nonconference wins over Rutgers, Idaho and Portland State -- but their timing couldnt have been better for knocking off their first ranked opponent on the road. Washington doesnt have any more currently ranked opponents on its schedule -- which made the win over Utah all the more imperative. An undefeated Pac-12 champ would likely finish in the top four, and the Huskies just cleared their toughest remaining regular-season hurdle.3. Louisville is officially a long shot Its one thing to struggle against Duke. Its another to barely squeak by Duke and Virginia, the two worst teams in the ACCs Coastal Division. They are a combined 5-11, and Louisville was fortunate to beat both. The Cardinals simply didnt look like a top-four team on Saturday at UVA (seven penalties, two turnovers and dropped passes), and they need to be more than just Lamar Jackson to sneak into the playoff without winning a conference title. Louisville has just one win against a ranked opponent -- Florida State -- and it doesnt have any more ranked teams on the schedule. Its a one-loss résumé that doesnt stack up to Texas A&Ms right now.4. Ohio State has work to do The Buckeyes rebounded from their loss at Penn State with a win over Northwestern, but they didnt look like a top-four contender in the process. The good news for the Buckeyes is they still have about a month to improve before hosting Michigan in the regular-season finale which will likely determine the Big Ten East winner. The problem is, if they continue to struggle offensively the way they have the past two weeks, they might not beat Nebraska at home on Saturday.5. Florida tightened its grip on the SEC East This was supposed to be the easy part for Tennessee -- starting on Saturday against a South Carolina team that had lost three of its last four. Instead, the Vols dropped their third straight game, looking up at the Gators and -- gasp! -- Kentucky in the SEC standings. Florida took care of business against Georgia but still has to play at Arkansas and LSU and would have to lose both of those games for Tennessee to win the tiebreaker.Curtis Samuel Panthers Jersey . Capitals head coach Adam Oates said Ovechkin was injured in the first period against the Vancouver Canucks on Monday and clarified it was not a head injury. Greg Olsen Jersey . The mixed zone is not a place to make friends. http://www.thepanthersofficialstore.com/authentic-christian-mccaffrey-panthers-jersey/ . Brandon Morrow allowed five runs on six hits over three innings. He struck out two, walked one and hit a batter. Edwin Encarnacion had a two-out, bases loaded two-RBI double in the third inning. Luke Kuechly Womens Jersey . Any real chance at payback wont come until the playoff. Still, Pittsburgh knows its taut 3-2 win over the Bruins on Wednesday night is a pretty good place to start laying the groundwork. "They are a very good defensive team," Penguins forward Brandon Sutter said. Jordan Scarlett Womens Jersey . -- New England Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis is retiring after a 16-year career to become the goalie coach for the Los Angeles Galaxy.The tone This was Pakistans last chance to stay in the series. The decision at the toss was taken out of Azhar Alis hands, but his team could prove they were focused on the challenge with a high-energy start in the field. Nice idea. What actually happened was Jason Roy got a thick inside edge through square leg which Mohammad Nawaz made a mess of chasing down, and allowed the ball to run into the rope. Pakistans day did not get any better.The reprieve It took until the fourth innings of the series - Englands chase at Lords - for the TV umpire to call a no-ball under the current trial system. He was kept quite busy when Pakistan were in the field today. The first time he pressed the buzzer was hugely significant, too, because Alex Hales, on 72, had just pulled Wahab Riaz to deep square leg. Hales went on to add another 99.The captains choice Azhar bravely/foolishly* (delete as appropriate) brought himself on in the 23rd over in a bid to break the stand between Hales and Joe Root that was setting England up nicely. Two balls in, and it wasnt going well. Hales twice swatted him through midwicket, the second time for six, before the last two balls went for four again. The over cost 20. The captain didnt bowl again.The wait When it has taken 23 years to break a record, whats a few more minutes? Hasan Ali began the 37th over of the innings with Hales on 165. The first ball was hit straight to point, then the second brought a review for lbw which wasnt that close but made Hales sweat a little. Then, when back on strike, Hales clotthed a drive to long-on and threw his head back in frustration.dddddddddddd But the next ball sat up nicely and was clubbed to the leg side. Robin Smiths 167 against Australia at Edgbaston in 1993 had been relegated to No. 2 on the list - even if Hales, typically, required his partner, Root, to explain why the crowd were suddenly so animated.The tally So many landmarks were coming and going it was difficult to keep up. When Eoin Morgan launched Wahabs final ball for six it was the 16th of Englands innings, the most they have hit in an ODI. It surpassed the 15 they collected against South Africa earlier this year (while making 399 at Bloemfontein). Their list of most sixes highlights the strides - leaps - they have made: eight of their top 10 entries have come since the last World Cup.The riposte Mark Wood had the better of Sharjeel Khan over the first two matches of this series, beating him for a pace with a short ball at the Ageas Bowl then cartwheeling his off stump with a beauty at Lords. This innings, though, was a little different as Sharjeel, with nothing to lose, showed the striking that has earned him a recall. The first four balls of Woods fifth over all went for four - three pulled off the hip with a hint of Brian Lara. For a moment, when Sharjeel pulled again against the last ball of the over, Wood thought he had him, only for Hales to blot his copybook a little by spilling the catch. ' ' '
