Wolverhampton Wolves continued their fantastic start to the new season by beating Poole Pirates 55-35 at Monmore Green to go top of the table.The Pirates held an early lead after three heats when Hans Andersen and Adam Ellis combined for a 4-2 but it did not last long as the Wolves duo of Jacob Thorsell and Kyle Howarth recorded a 5-1 in the following heat. The home side grew from there, extending their lead to 12 points by heat nine.Neil Middleditch responded in the next heat sending out Bjarne Pedersen on a tactical ride but it was to no avail as Sam Masters and Howarth shut out the Pirates duo for another maximum. There were a couple of heat advantages to follow for the Pirates but a comeback never looked likely as the home side emphatically made sure of the result with a 5-1 in heat 14 from Mikkel Bech and Thorssell. Andersen won heat 15 but Wolves took a convincing 55-35 win. Howarth top scored for the home side with 11+3 whilst Andersen was scored 13 for the away side. Freddie Lindgren played a key role for the Wolves In the other meeting of the day, the Swindon Robins stunned the Coventry Bees winning 50-42 at Brandon.The scores had remained tight for the first seven heats with the Robins holding just a two-point lead but the away side came on strong in the second half of the meeting as Rohan Tungate and Justin Sedgmen raced to a 5-1 in heat nine before Alun Rossiters side added another in the following heat thanks to Jason Doyle and Charles Wright. Swindon Robins Jason Doyle was in good form for the Robins Gary Havelock sent Krzysztof Kasprzak out on a tactical ride in heat 11 but Nick Morris won for the Robins with the Pole in second and the Bees only pulled back two points. The meeting was all but over in the following heat when the Robins hit another 5-1 thanks to Tungate and Stefan Nielsen.The home side restored some pride in the latter heats as Kasprzak and Chris Harris took the chequered flag for a 5-1 in heat 13 but it wasnt enough as the Robins took all the points running out 50-42 winners. Tungate top scored for the Robins with 13 whilst Kasprzak was the Bees top man with 11. Jamal Murray Jersey . There are surprises among the Vezina candidates, but most of the others are standard top-tier performers, even if the two Hart Trophy runners-ups have never been quite as good as they have been through the first half of the season. Tyler Lydon Jersey . Just not the game. Kyle Palmieri scored two straight goals in the third period to rally the Anaheim Ducks past the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Tuesday night. http://www.nuggetsprostore.com/kids-michael-porter-nuggets-jersey/ . James, who turned 29 on Monday, injured his groin Friday during the Heats overtime loss at Sacramento. He sat out the following game, a 108-107 win Saturday in Portland, before coming back to help send the Nuggets to their seventh consecutive loss. Allen Iverson Jersey .Y. - Rob Manfred was promoted Monday to Major League Baseballs chief operating officer, which may make him a candidate to succeed Bud Selig as commissioner. Paul Millsap Nuggets Jersey . Vancouver Whitecaps and Toronto FC failed to make the postseason while Montreal Impact fell at the first hurdle losing heavily to Houston Dynamo in the Eastern Conference Knockout Round.Debates about whether No. 2 Ohio State will finish in the College Football Playoff selection committees top four have dominated the conversation, but the 11-1 Buckeyes, who didnt win their division, are out of chances to impress the committee.There are 10 Power 5 teams who will play for a conference title with the 12 committee members watching together -- the first and only time they watch live games together all season. Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez is not going to the Big Ten title game because of his responsibilities as a committee member, and the same goes for Clemson athletic director Dan Radakovich, who will not attend the ACC title game in Orlando, Florida.Instead, they will be watching from their leather swivel chairs in Selection Central at the posh Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine, Texas. Heres a look at the impact the conference championships will have, ranked in order of biggest impact on the final rankings Dec. 4:1. No. 3 Clemson vs. No. 23 Virginia Tech (8 p.m. ET, ABC/ESPN App)If Clemson loses, the ACC is likely out, which would further open the door for a second Big Ten team. The committee isnt going to put in a three-loss Virginia Tech team, even with a league title, and Clemson will have two damaging losses (to No. 25 Pitt and the Hokies) and no conference title. This upset would have the biggest impact on the playoff because there are so many other talented teams out there -- such as Ohio State, Colorado, Michigan, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State -- with better losses that could benefit from the Tigers tumbling. If the Hokies win, they would go to the Orange Bowl as the ACC champion.2. No. 6 Wisconsin vs. No. 7 Penn State (8 p.m. ET, Fox)If Wisconsin wins, it would be much easier for the selection committee to put in Ohio State over the Big Ten champs because the Buckeyes beat Wisconsin in Madison during the regular season. If Penn State wins, though, the committee has a real headache. The committee will have to decide whether it wants to put in both teams, or just one -- and it doesnt necessarily have to be Penn State. Theres no requirement for the committee to put in four conference champions, but it also has to consider that the Nittany Lions have the 24-21 head-to-head win on Oct. 22. So far, that hasnt been enough to sway the committee. Again, the selection committee recognizes the head-to-head win, said committee chair Kirby Hocutt, but in this particular case, it hasnt been the distinguishing point in our evaluation of those two teams. And dont forget, Michigan beat both Penn State and Wisconsin.3. No. 4 Washington vs. No. 8 Colorado (Friday, 9 p.m. ET, Fox)If Washington loses, Colorado will be compared with two-loss champs from both the Big 12 and the Big Ten -- not to mention two-loss Michigan -- opening the door for one-loss Ohio State and Michigan to possibly finish in the top four.dddddddddddd If Washington wins, theres still no guarantee the Pac-12 champion is in. Its been a concern for the committee, and I would say that it continues to be a concern for the selection committee with Washingtons strength of schedule, Hocutt said. ... It is a very small margin of separation in the committees eyes between No. 4 Washington and No. 5 Michigan. Dont think I can emphasize enough the small margin of separation that the selection committee sees between those two teams.4. No. 10 Oklahoma State @ No. 9 Oklahoma (12:30 p.m. ET, Fox)Cowboys coach Mike Gundy has lamented the committees approach to his controversial loss to Central Michigan, but considering Colorado has jumped both of the Big 12s best teams, it appears to be a moot point. The Big 12 looks like a long shot in what is a crowded group of contenders. While the committee is aware of the officiating gaffe that transpired during the game, Oklahoma State has to win Bedlam and hope there is chaos above it in order to have a shot. The Sooners seem to have a slightly better shot, only because the committee has consistently ranked them ahead of Oklahoma State, but OU will also need some chaos -- likely both Washington and Clemson losing. Because one-loss Ohio State is still in the conversation, though, any two-loss league champ needs to have a compelling résumé to go along with its title.5. No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 15 Florida (4 p.m. ET, CBS)This is the least compelling of the Power 5 title games because even if undefeated Alabama loses, it would still likely be in the top four. The caveat is, with a loss, it might not be No. 1. Thats important for seeding reasons, as the committee wont put the No. 1 seed at a geographic disadvantage in a semifinal. As long as the Tide stay No. 1, they should go to the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl in Atlanta.Group of Five WatchNo. 17 Western Michigan shouldnt get too comfortable. The undefeated Broncos have a slight edge over No. 19 Navy, which made a significant jump from No. 25 last week after clobbering SMU 75-31. WMUs strength of schedule remains an issue, though, leaving the door open for the Midshipmen. Look at a Western Michigan team that is very successful on the offensive side of the ball, Hocutt said. At the same time, theyve only beaten two FBS teams with a winning record. Navy has three, what the selection committee would look at quality wins over Houston, Memphis and Tulsa. Both teams have a chance to win their respective conference titles this week, and the committee will all be together on Friday to watch WMU in the MAC championship game against Ohio (7 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App). Navy will square off against Temple in the AAC title game on Saturday (noon ET, ABC/ESPN App). ' ' '
