Ohio State or Penn State?Clemson, Ohio State, Penn State or Washington?Those are the questions the College Football Playoff selection committee will have to answer over the next several hours before the four teams that will compete in the third edition of the playoff are announced at 12 p.m. ET Sunday (ESPN and ESPN App).The Nittany Lions at least made a case to be included in the four-team field by rallying from a 21-point deficit in the first half to defeat No. 6 Wisconsin 38-31 in Saturday nights Big Ten championship game. It was the largest comeback in Big Ten title game history.In the end, it might not be enough for the Nittany Lions to jump into the top four, but it was a heck of an effort.The Nittany Lions were among six teams eliminated by the Eliminator after Week 14, leaving only four teams for the four-team field. After 14 weeks, 124 of the 128 FBS teams have been eliminated from consideration.Heres where the FBS stands after Week 14:Jump to sections: Whos in??| Playoff teams | Better luck next season | Previously eliminatedWhos in?Defending national champion?Alabama?remains the No. 1 seed after blasting No. 15 Florida 54-16 in the SEC championship game on Saturday for its 25th consecutive victory. Third-ranked Clemson also won its conference title, defeating No. 23 Virginia Tech 42-35 in the ACC championship game. Fourth-ranked Washington rolled past No. 8 Colorado 41-10 in Fridays Pac-12 championship game. The only drama is whether Penn State will make the field, and we cant see the Nittany Lions jumping three spots to make it. Second-ranked Ohio State will probably remain in the playoff field, even though it didnt play this weekend and Penn State won the Big Ten.Playoff teamsAlabama Crimson TideTrending: UPIts OK to admit it, Alabama: We know youre getting a little bored.Clemson TigersTrending: UPAfter beating Virginia Tech in the ACC championship game on Saturday, Tigers coach Dabo Swinney said, Youve got to win your conference first.

Nike Air Force 1 07 Homme Pas Cher .com) - Christian Ponder will get another chance to prove himself for the Minnesota Vikings, with head coach Leslie Frazier announcing Wednesday that the struggling quarterback will start this weekends game against the Green Bay Packers. Defense continues to be Utahs strength under coach Kyle Whittingham.The No. 11 Utes, who host downtrodden Oregon on Saturday (2 p.m. ET, Pac-12 Network), are second in the nation in interceptions and No. 1 in takeaways after last weeks 49-26 victory at Arizona State.Utah (8-2, 5-2 Pac-12) controls its destiny in the Pac-12 South race but has to beat the Ducks and then win at division-leading Colorado on Nov. 26 to advance to the conference championship game.All of our focus, all of our attention, is on the Ducks this week, Whittingham said.There is not a chance we will be looking past those guys. Not a chance at all. Theyre very talented on offense. I mean, theyre Oregon. They have had some struggles on defense this year, but offensively, theyre scoring points, theyre moving the ball. Theyve got firepower.Fair enough. Oregon (3-7, 1-6) does average 37.1 points per game but will not qualify for a bowl game for the first time since 2004 and it is second-to-last nationally in scoring defense, yielding 43.5 points per game.The Ducks are coming off a 52-27 loss to Stanford.Fourth-year coach Mark Helfrich, who guided the program to the national championship game in the 2014 season, acknowledged it has been a difficult season.Yeah the frustrations are different, he said.Theres always the segment of the team thats frustrated, whether thats a role or a position. Theres always something. This is different. Its not any fun. Not having a ton of fun, which is something you have to squeeze out of it at this point and play to their competitiveness and play to all those aspects of why theyre here.Utah has 25 takeaways and also leads the nation in net punting (45.3 yards per game). The Utes have picked off 17 passes. They are fifth nationally in sacks with 35, including 11 versus Arizona State.Coverage in the secondary was very good. If you can cover for that extra second, second-and-a-half, then the pass rush can show up, Whittingham said.A lot of the sacks were due to very good coverage in the back end, and a lot of them were due to the pass rush just getting on the quarterback quickly. It was a combination. That is how you play great pass defensee.ddddddddddddUtah will now take aim at Oregon freshman quarterback Justin Herbert, who took over as the starter in the sixth week. He has thrown for 1,432 yards and 15 scores while rushing for 122 yards and a touchdown, providing hope for the future.No question he cares a lot, Helfrich said.Last week, Utah defensive end Hunter Dimick rewrote some of Utahs single-game records with five sacks, 37 sack yards lost, and 6.5 tackles for loss. He also reached 27 career sacks, trying the school mark set by John Frank from 1996-99.Dimick is tied for the national lead with 12 sacks.Offensively, Utah running back Joe Williams, who retired from football for about a month at the start of the season, has made a significant mark in the past four games, rushing for 864 yards in that span, including a school-record 332 against UCLA. The Utes are third in the Pac-12 in rushing, averaging 212.9 yards a game.Quarterback Troy Williams had the best game of his career last week against Arizona States porous pass defense. Williams had a career-high 296 yards on 21-of-37 passing, with a career-best four touchdown passes.The ground or air method should work against Oregon.The Ducks rank 11th in the conference by allowing 255.9 rushing yards per game. Things might get worse as defensive lineman Austin Maloata, one of the teams top run-stoppers, was kicked off the team Sunday after an arrest.Oregon had allowed six consecutive Pac-12 teams to throw for 300 yards before Stanford, last in the league in passing, put up only 258 last week -- which was nearly double its season average.Utah enters the weekend in third place in the Pac-12 South, a game behind Colorado (6-1) and a half-game behind USC (6-2). The Utes already have a win over the Trojans. By winning out, Utah would, at worst, be in a tiebreaker situation in which it would hold the edge in all scenarios.Utah beat Oregon 62-20 last season in Eugene.All three phases seemed to click in that game, Whittingham said. It was almost flawless execution on offense from start to finish. ' ' '
