BLUFF
AUSTIN STEELE I The Times
Cherokee Bluff’s Maddie Thomas goes for a rebound during
a game against Lanier Christian Academy on Tuesday in
Flowery Branch.
■ Continued from 1B
cruise through the final
quarter, finishing off the
89-54 win and going to 1-0 to
start off their inaugural bas
ketball season.
“It really means a lot to
the community,” Norman
said of the win. “Hopefully
they come to more games
and see us win some more
games. It’s going to be a
show this year.”
CHEROKEE BLUFF
GIRLS 71, LANIER CHRIS
TIAN 19: While the boys
team took a quarter to settle
into its game against Lanier
Christian Academy, the girls
team jumped all over the
Lady Lightning in their con
test to open the night. The
Lady Bears scored all 29
first-quarter points.
Cherokee Bluff was led by
freshman Timber Gaither,
who scored 21 points, and
senior Chelsea Reece who
put in 10 along with a hand
ful of steals.
“I think it was good for
us to have this game to get
some confidence and get
a good feel for the game,”
Cherokee Bluff coach Lind
say Justice said. “I was able
to get everybody in, which
is a positive thing for every
body to kind of see how that
feels to be in their first bas
ketball game. So for that, it
was good. But we still have a
lot of things that we need to
clean up and get better at. ”
NFL
Game scheduled
for Mexico City
moved to LA
The NFL moved the
Rams’ Monday night show
down with the Kansas City
Chiefs from Mexico City to
Los Angeles on Tuesday due
to the poor condition of the
field at Azteca Stadium.
The league announced the
extraordinary decision six
days before one of the most-
anticipated regular-season
games of the year.
In a news release, the
league said it determined
that the recently re-sodded
field at Mexico City’s his
toric stadium “does not meet
NFL standards for playabil
ity and consistency, and will
not meet those standards by
next Monday.”
The Rams (9-1) will host
the Chiefs (9-1) at the Coli
seum instead. The much-
anticipated game is just the
fifth meeting since 1970
between teams with one or
fewer losses in Week 11 or
later. The decision creates
a morass of logistical con
cerns for the teams and fans
traveling to Mexico, and it
disappoints thousands of
Mexican fans eager to see a
marquee matchup in North
America’s most populous
city. But the league con
sulted with the players’ asso
ciation and local officials
before deciding it couldn’t
risk the players’ health on a
damaged field.
“The combination of a
difficult rainy season and
a heavy multi-event calen
dar of events at the stadium
have resulted in significant
damage to the field that
presents unnecessary risks
to player safety and makes
it unsuitable to host an NFL
game,” said Mark Waller,
the NFL’s executive vice
president of international.”
Azteca officials changed
the playing surface from
natural grass to a hybrid in
May, but the turf hasn’t been
ideal for several months.
Concern about the field
grew in recent days when
aerial photos of the stadium
showed serious damage to
the grass, particularly on the
end of the stadium recently
used for a major concert.
Cruz Azul, the Liga MX
soccer club that shares the
stadium with Club America,
played a tournament game
on the field last Saturday
in noticeably poor condi
tions. Coach Pedro Caixinha
expressed concern, and the
NFL continued working with
groundskeepers to improve
the field. The Rams are
required to keep the Coli
seum available as a backup
in case of a problem with
international games. They
immediately announced
plans for ticket sales start
ing Wednesday, with season
ticket holders allowed to
buy their own seats and up
to four more. The Rams also
will give away thousands
of seats to first respond
ers and people affected by
recent tragedies in Southern
California. Deadly wildfires
have ravaged several areas
near the Rams’ training
complex in Thousand Oaks
for the past week, and 12
people were killed in a mass
shooting in Thousand Oaks
last Wednesday night.
The move also creates
big logistical obstacles for
“Monday Night Football”
broadcaster ESPN, which
will have to shift its opera
tions back to the West Coast.
“We have been in commu
nication with the NFL and
we understand the league’s
decision,” the network
said in a statement. “We
are already in the process
of adjusting our plans and
will be ready to present this
much-anticipated matchup
on Monday Night Football
from Los Angeles. We also
remain committed to iden
tifying future opportunities
with the league to engage its
already strong fan base in
Mexico.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL I Playoff poll
No changes at the top
BUTCH DILL I The Associated Press
Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (13) hands off to Alabama running back Damien Harris
(34) during the first half against Mississippi State on Saturday in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Alabama, Clemson remain in top two spots
Associated Press
The College Football
Playoff rankings held steady
at the top, with Alabama,
Clemson, Notre Dame and
Michigan an unchanged first
four from last week.
The third rankings of the
season were drama-free
Tuesday night after every
top-10 team won last week
end. In fact, the selection
committee’s entire top 10
stayed the same, the first
time that has happened in
the five seasons since the
CFP was born.
With three weekends left
until the final selections
are made on Dec. 2, Geor
gia was fifth and Oklahoma
was sixth. LSU, Washington
State, West Virginia and
Ohio State rounded out the
top 10.
UCF moved up one spot
to No. 11 and remained the
highest-ranked team from
outside the Power Five con
ferences. The Knights on
Saturday play Cincinnati,
which is ranked or the first
time by the selection com
mittee this season at No. 24.
DON’T COUNT
ON STABILITY
In the four-year history of
the College Football Playoff,
the four teams at the top of
the rankings after three
weeks have never all made
it to the semifinals. As much
as it might feel as if the field
is well set, it would be best to
expect an unexpected result
or two over the next three
weeks.
Three not-so-outlandish
upsets that could create
confusion for the selection
committee:
1. Alabama loses the
SEC championship game to
Georgia.
This could lead to the
most controversial call in
CFP history. The Crim
son Tide is the defending
national champion and Tua
Tagovailoa and Co. have
been stomping everyone in
their path.
The Tide is not losing this
week to The Citadel. The
chances are slim Auburn
beats ‘Bama at home. But
even if that were to hap
pen, Alabama could quickly
redeem itself by beating
Georgia to win the SEC on
championship weekend.
A 12-1 SEC champion Ala
bama is not getting left out
of the playoff, nor should it
under any available circum
stances this season.
But 12-1 without an SEC
championship? The com
mittee has already twice
sent teams that did not reach
their conference title games
to the playoff. Last year it
was Alabama and the year
before, Ohio State got there.
In Ohio State’s case, the
body-of-work argument was
strong enough to overcome
being bumped from the
Big Ten title chase by Penn
State, a team the Buckeyes
had lost to in a close game
at Happy Valley. Last year,
Alabama seemed like a
default pick at 11-1 over
Ohio State and USC. Both
were 11-2 with conference
titles, but ugly losses on their
ledgers.
Could the committee
squeeze in the Tide after a
loss to Georgia, which would
obviously get in, if Clemson,
Notre Dame and Michigan
(and maybe even Okla
homa) all won out? It’s not
as if Alabama would have a
loaded resume, with victo
ries against LSU, Mississippi
State and Auburn at the top.
But there is also little doubt
Alabama would be favored
on a neutral field against
any team in the country.
The committee has to be
rooting for the Tide to keep
it out of this mess.
2. Ohio State beats Michi
gan and wins the Big Ten.
Big 12 fans will disagree,
but Michigan at 12-1 looks
like a good bet to sail into the
playoff — especially if Notre
Dame finishes unbeaten,
therefore making the Wol-

verines’ only loss a one-score
game in the opener at South
Bend. The Buckeyes have
nice road victories against
Penn State and Michigan
State. Add Michigan and
Northwestern in the Big Ten
championship game to that
resume, and suddenly a sea
son of struggles in Columbus,
Ohio, won’t look so bad at
all. The stain of that blowout
loss at Purdue won’t come
off easy, though, and choos
ing between Ohio State at
12-1 and Oklahoma at 12-1
or West Virginia at 11-1 or
Washington State at 12-1
won’t be such an easy chore
for the committee.
3. Notre Dame loses, espe
cially to Southern California.
Any loss for the Irish
looks problematic if the rest
of the contenders win out.
Michigan could help Notre
Dame by finishing 12-1. The
Irish could make the case
the committee can’t put the
Wolverines in and leave out
the one team that beat them.
Don’t let anyone tell you
the Irish are out with one
loss. That’s shortsighted and
doesn’t take into account
that Big 12 contenders Okla
homa and West Virginia
and Washington State could
easily pick up a second loss
before they even reach their
conference title games.
COLLEGE
BASKETBALL
Georgia falls on
the road to Temple
Temple’s Shizz Alston
needed 11 points to reach
the 1,000-point career mark
entering Tuesday’s home
game against Georgia.
The Owls received more
than double that amount
from the 6-foot-4 senior and
all of them were needed
to hold off the late-surging
Bulldogs.
Alston and Quinton Rose
each scored 25 points as
Temple posted an 81-77 win
at the Liacouras Center.
The Owls (3-0) and
avenged last year’s 84-66
loss at Georgia.
Georgia, under first-year
head coach Tom Crean, was
picked to finish 13th among
14 Southeastern Confer
ence teams in the preseason
media poll, but beating
an SEC team still carries
weight.
Georgia, which trailed by
as many as 12 in the second
half, cut the lead to 79-77
when Rayshaun Hammonds
hit a three-pointer with 27.3
seconds left.
Temple then threw the
ball away on the inbounds
pass.
Georgia’s Derek Ogbeide
missed a turnaround jumper
inside and Temple’s Ernest
Aflakpui was fouled on the
rebound, It was only the
sixth team foul, so Temple
inbounded and Alston was
fouled with 3.5 seconds left.
Alston hit both ends of a
one-and-one and the Owls
had survived. He hit all four
of his free throws for the
night and has begun the sea
son 15-for-15 from the foul
line.
Ogbeide and junior guard
Tyree Crump each scored 16
points for the 1-1 Bulldogs.
GEORGIA STATE 62,
MERCER 60: Jeff Thomas
scored 30 points with eight
3-pointers and five assists as
Georgia State survived a late
cold spell to edge Mercer on
Tuesday night.
Georgia State (2-1) shot 43
percent from the floor (23
for 54), but scored 15 3-point
baskets to seven for Mercer.
Mercer (1-2), which had
trailed 57-41 with a little
more than seven minutes
remaining, scrapped back
with a 19-5 run, cutting
the gap to 62-60 with 1:04
remaining and had a Djordje
Dimitrijevic 3-pointer rim
out at the buzzer.
Dimitrijevic scored seven
of his nine points and had
three of his five assists in the
rally.
