What is #CFBrank? #CFBrank is the Twitter hashtag to use if you want to get involved in the discussion or just follow along.How did we rank the players? We asked 32 of ESPNs college football writers, editors and analysts to rate players on a scale of 0-10 based on their expected contributions for the 2016 season.100-91 | 90-81 |?80-71 |?70-61 | 60-51 | 50-41 | 40-31 | 30-21 | 20-11 | 10-1Bo Scarbrough Alabama Crimson Tide Sophomore | Running Back Score: 7.58What has Scarbrough done to deserve mention as one of college footballs best running backs? On the field, not much. But you can disregard last seasons 108 yards and one touchdown. As a former five-star prospect stepping into a system that has produced two Heisman Trophy-winning running backs, much is expected.Kendell Beckwith LSU Tigers Senior | Linebacker Score: 7.59LSU returns a whopping 18 starters, but Beckwith ranks among the most important. He is a preseason All-SEC pick after making 84 tackles and 10 tackles for loss last season, but Beckwiths value doubles when taking into account his status as one of LSUs few experienced linebackers.Mike Williams Clemson Tigers Junior | Wide Receiver Score: 7.66With a 1,000-yard season in the books and the NFL on the horizon, Williams entered 2015 as one of the nations top receivers. Then in the first quarter of the first game, he collided with the goal post on a touchdown grab, injuring his neck and missing the season. He returns for 2016 fully healthy and eager to make up for lost time on an offense that could be one of the most explosive in the nation.Minkah Fitzpatrick Alabama Crimson Tide Sophomore | Defensive Back Score: 7.69You dont just walk into Alabamas secondary and play from Day 1. Nick Saban personally coaches the position, and we all know how demanding he can be. So it says something that Fitzpatrick, the former No. 1 prospect out of New Jersey, was able to do exactly that, earning significant playing time at nickel back as a freshman. He not only led the team in passes defended, but he was also a playmaker on special teams.Malik Jefferson Texas Longhorns Sophomore | Linebacker Score: 7.70The unofficial mayor of Austin, as his coaches call him, lived up to the hype as a true freshman and as a linebacker -- but more so as a leader. The Big 12s Preseason Defensive Player of the Year is the face of Charlie Strongs rebuild and should get to do more of what he does best -- rush off the edge -- as a sophomore.Devonte Fields Louisville Cardinals Senior | Linebacker Score: 7.79Fields ended last season on a tear, racking up 10.5 sacks and 18 tackles for loss in the seasons final seven games after transferring to the Cards from junior college. His athleticism outside made him difficult for many offenses to contain. Now that he has had a full offseason in the Louisville program, he should be among the contenders for ACC Defensive Player of the Year.Brad Kaaya Miami Hurricanes Junior | Quarterback Score: 7.80Kaaya has thrown for 3,000 yards in each of his first two seasons and is now closing in on becoming the Hurricanes all-time leading passer. Kaaya needs 3,130 yards to break Ken Dorseys Miami record, set during its last run at a national championship in 2001. Another successful season could mean Kaayas last with the Canes, as an NFL future awaits.Luke Falk Washington State Cougars Junior | Quarterback Score: 7.85He emerged as one of the nations top passers last season, finishing fifth nationally with 4,561 yards and tied for fourth with 38 passing touchdowns. With an outstanding receiving corps and an offense designed to move the ball through the air, look for Falk to build on last seasons success.42. Patrick Mahomes Texas Tech Red Raiders Junior | Quarterback Score: 7.86In his second season at the helm, Mahomes burst into the elite category of QBs nationally last fall. One of five players in FBS history to throw for 4,000 yards and 30 touchdowns while rushing for 450 yards and 10 touchdowns, he led the nation with 393 total-offense yards per game.Zach Banner USC Trojans Senior | Offensive Tackle Score: 7.87 At 6-foot-9, 360 pounds, theres little doubt that Banner is one of the biggest players in college football. He also is a first-team All-Pac-12 performer who could potentially be selected in the first round of the 2017 NFL draft. A 27-game starter and winner of USCs top offensive lineman award last season, hes a likely preseason All-American.100-91 | 90-81 |?80-71 |?70-61 | 60-51 | 50-41 | 40-31 | 30-21 | 20-11 | 10-1Voters: Andrea Adelson, Edward Aschoff, Brian Bennett, Kyle Bonagura, David Ching, Heather Dinich, Matt Fortuna, Kevin Gemmell, David Hale, Travis Haney, Brock Huard, Chantel Jennings, Sharon Katz, Sam Khan Jr., David Lombardi, Chris Low, Tom Luginbill, Ivan Maisel, Ryan McGee, Erik McKinney, Ted Miller, Dan Murphy, Max Olson, Greg Ostendorf, Adam Rittenberg, Alex Scarborough, Jared Shanker, Mitch Sherman, Phil Steele, Jake Trotter, Tom VanHaaren, Austin WardWholesale Womens Nike Air VaporMax Plus White/White-Total Crimson-Light Menta AO4550-100 . He was followed closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later. Clarksons actions one night earlier, leaping off the bench in defence of Kessel during a pre-season game against the Buffalo Sabres, will cost him the first 10 games of the regular season.

Now, with Game 6 set for Fenway Park and an 8:07 p.m. ET first pitch, the Detroit Tigers face the unenviable task of having to beat the Boston Red Sox twice, on the road, to advance to the World Series. Vapormax Plus Blue And Black . Roman Josi had a goal and an assist to lead the Predators to a 4-1 victory over the Dallas Stars on Monday night.Martin Guptill walked out to bat with a simple brief: take down the bowling while you still can. It might not appear radically different to how he has batted all series, but the conditions made such an approach necessary. New Zealand had finally won a toss on the tour and batting first was a no-brainer on a pitch that had very little bounce and would become slower.Up to this point, Guptills only contribution with the bat was a half-century in Indore after the Test series was decided. Here was a chance to make a difference while the series was still alive. But, he had to do it while the ball still came on to the bat; there was little scope for playing himself in and then launching into attack.And so, Guptill approached it as a glutton would an all-you-can-eat buffet near closing time. He was edgy at the crease and twice jumped out to Umesh Yadav in the first over, but eventually played out a maiden. He found his release in the next over, as he smacked Dhawal Kulkarni over the infield for a brace of boundaries. When Kulkarni pitched it short, he belted out a ferocious cut.The loft over the infield was his first-choice weapon, and the cut and flick his failsafe when the bowlers compensated with a short ball. He and Tom Latham put on 96 runs in 15.3 overs, creating a buffer for the fallow spell in the middle overs. Guptill said hitting over the top was central to his limited-overs batting in the last year and a half. I enjoy hitting the ball over the top when I can. So I just tried to make use of the ball when it was hard and I got away with it today.Unlike Guptill, his opposite number Ajinkya Rahane hasnt struggled for form. Rahane was the second-highest run-getter in the Test series, but then his place in the ODI side has never been a given. There was pressure on him coming into this game after he failed to convert starts in Dharamsala and Delhi before falling cheaply in Mohali. Rahane now had two shots at best to show why he deserved to keep his spot before Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul returned from injury.But, Rahanes ODI game is seen to be at odds with sluggish pitches like the one in Ranchi. At times over the past two years, MS Dhoni has expressed his belief that Rahane needs pace in the pitch to score, and that he struggles to rotate the strike on sluggish surfaces. This was then a crucial innings from the point of view of Rahane career - a big score would not only help India clinch the series but also prove hhe could wing his limited-overs game to succeed on slow surfaces.ddddddddddddIn a departure from the first three ODIs, Rahane took first strike. He played his usual go-to shots - the back-foot punch and the straight drive - but the real sign of intent came through a dandy upper cut off Trent Boult to hit the first six of the match. Rahane, however, didnt deviate from his natural game. There were gorgeous boundaries hit, but the familiar problems persisted. Often, Rahane, standing on middle and off stump, missed quite a few balls angling into his legs - he was eventually dismissed by one such delivery - thus missing run-scoring opportunities.With a dot-ball percentage of more than 50, it could be argued his strike-rotation was once again suspect. However, a measure of the difficulty in rotating strike on this pitch could be seen in the 22 dots played out by Virat Kohli off the 51 balls he faced. Even after Kohlis dismissal, Rahane consolidated things along with Dhoni before falling to a good delivery just when he was looking to attack. Dhoni, though, felt Rahane had done an adequate job.At that point in time I think partnerships were needed more than anything else, Dhoni said after the match. According to the requirement of the match, he was batting well. Thats how he bats and I dont think there was anything wrong.This wasnt too dissimilar to how Guptills innings shaped up. After racing to 43 off 34 balls at the end of the first Powerplay, he gritted out it till the 26th over to finish with 72 off 84. When the spinners were bowling, the ball hardly came on to the bat, but Guptill hung around, with a little bit of help from Amit Mishras fielding. Before this match, he hadnt lasted for more than 21 balls this series.While Guptill didnt look at the innings as a redemptive effort, its value wasnt lost on him. It wasnt as fluent as I would have liked, but Ill take 72 any day of the week, he said. Once the ball became a bit softer the scoring became a lot tougher and you had to grind it out a wee bit. I was happy to get through that little period.Both Rahane and Guptill set up strong bases for their respective sides - it will be fair to assume they have also earned themselves some breathing space - but it was only the latters team-mates that saw through the effort to its logical conclusion.
