In the USA, in College Football, so many teams are playingimportant games, with playoff implications. It seems that the old system of rivalries and intra-league play is justas exciting, or even more so, than several weeks of playoffs. Atleast, this is what November teaches us, at least this November... Number 1 Georgia will play at Number 10 Auburn in anationally televised game. Auburn is atough team, and has yet to play Georgia and number 2 Alabama, who are topranked. Auburn could easily throw amonkey wrench into the season for both the Bulldogs and the Crimson Tide, sotoday's game is of even greaterimportance. Alabama will visit number 16 MississippiState, who will not be a pushover. Catholicshave a great reason to rejoice, as the favorite division one team of many,Notre Dame, sits at number 3 in the rankings and today will visit number 7Miami. The Fighting Irish must win ifthey want to keep their playoff hopes alive, Miami could prove that theydeserve their high standing.
The Big 12 has several teams who are vying for the top spot,even this late in the season, and so when number 6 TCU visits number 5Oklahoma, a possible playoff spot is on the line. In the Big 10, recently demoted number 13Ohio State is recovering from a loss at number 20 Iowa last weekend, and todaywill host number 12 Michigan State. Both are contenders for the Big 10 Easttitle. In the Big 10 West, number 20Iowa, coming off their big win against Ohio State, will visit Madison tocontend with number 8 Wisconsin. Wisconsin's undefeated season is on the line,and Iowa has been surging lately. Thisis one game not to miss. This is the first weekend of NCAA Division 1 Basketball forthe new season. As would be expected thehistorically strong teams have been winning, and are expected to win, as theyplay historically weak teams. In Rugby, Fiji will meet Italy at the Angelo MassiminoStadium in Catania, Sicily, today ingroup play of the 2017 Rugby League World Cup competitions. Fiji has won three of their last four competitions,Italy only one. Fiji all-but securedtheir World Cup quarter-final place with another dominant display, dispatchingWales 72-6. Italy responded to theirdisappointing outing in their opening game by producing a very good display toblank the USA in their second groupgame. The 46-0 win was a welcome relief to theItalians after a torrid week on and off the pitch in the previous week but itmay be too little, too late as they would need to beat Fiji by a similar scoreto qualify for the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, England's opening match oftheir autumn Test series at Twickenham will take place today. Eddie Jones' menwill be playing Argentina, Australia and Samoa over the coming weeks. England have rested Owen Farrell and MaroItoje. Red Rose head coach Eddie Jones had indicated he would stand down someof his British and Irish Lions due to their involvement in the summer tour toNew Zealand. Other nations play todayincludes Scotland vs Samoa at Murrayfield, Edinburgh, Wales vs Australia at thePrincipality Stadium, Cardiff, Ireland vs South Africa at the Aviva Stadium, Dublin and France vs NewZealand at the, Stade de France, Paris. -- Posted By Rex to SR at 11/11/2017 12:10:00 AM -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "omnisport" group.
