also has quality wins over No. 15 Auburn, No.

Drew Hutchison deserves the chance to make the St George Illawarra No.7 shirt vacated by Benji Marshall his own, according to the NRL clubs No.1 player Josh Dugan.The 21-year-old playmaker will battle it out in the pre-season with Josh McCrone and Kurt Mann for the chance to join England international Gareth Widdop in the Dragons halves in 2017.But after steering the Dragons feeder club Illawarra Cutters to victory in the NSW Cup via the match-winning field goal, and the Interstate Championship, Dugan believes Junior Kangaroos representative Hutchison deserves his chance.He controlled the park well in those big games, he did his job well and that is all you can ask of a young halfback, Dugan told AAP.He kicked that field goal and he produced in those big games. He has shown what he has got.He was one of the best through those few big games and anytime he has played first grade he has done well and I dare say he deserves first crack at that halfback spot next year.He has done everything he can to put his name forward.Hutchison has played four NRL games for the Dragons over the past two seasons. He was called into first grade by coach Paul McGregor for the penultimate game of last season for Marshall against Parramatta and scored his first NRL try.Marshall returned to play in the final round win over Newcastle and has signed a one-year deal with Brisbane.The Dragons struggled in 2016. But Dugan said the efforts of the Cutters would give the club plenty of momentum and depth heading into 2017.It is always a positive when your reserve grade side and blokes who you know and have trained with all year have that success, NSW and Kangaroos centre Dugan said.To win the NSW Cup and Interstate Cup is great for the boys but it is also a step in the right direction for the club,Dugan nominated Hutchison, who is off contract at the end of 2017, as one player capable of taking the club forward next year.You have Taane Milne, Drew and Shaun Nona as well, he is a great little player, Dugan said.He has done a few sessions with us this year and he will come into the training squad and we will see how he goes.There are those other boys like Siliva Havili and Josh McCrone who have that first grade experience so there is a lot to work with there.

LOUIS -- Cardinals cleanup hitter Allen Craig says hes recovered from a foot injury and ready to be put on St. Alabama is the undisputed top dog, but the Big Ten is the Big Show in the third College Football Playoff rankings, which followed a stunning weekend of losing among highly ranked teams.Ohio State climbed from No. 5 to No. 2, while Michigan stayed put at No. 3 after losing to unranked Iowa. Of course, those two play on Nov. 26, with the stakes being both huge and curious.?Along with No. 7 Wisconsin and No. 8 Penn State, the Big Ten leads all conferences with four teams in the top eight. It also leads all conferences with intrigue.If Ohio State beats Michigan State and Michigan, and Penn State also wins out, the Nittany Lions capture the Big Ten East crown by virtue of handing the Buckeyes their only loss, and they would play for the Big Ten title, most likely against Wisconsin. That either sets the stage for two Big Ten teams in the playoff, or the committee leaving out Ohio State because it didnt win its conference title. Or the committee could dump Penn State, which lost by 39 at Michigan, or Wisconsin, and go with the Buckeyes.Yeah, its complicated. But what could anyone expect after three of the top four and six of the top 14 teams lost in a single weekend?There obviously are a lot of critical games ahead, and the only seemingly safe team is No. 1 Alabama, the only remaining unbeaten Power 5 squad, which has almost certainly earned a mulligan after dominating a tough schedule.Two weekends remain in the regular season, including many rivalry showdowns, and then conference championship games. No. 9 Oklahoma plays two ranked teams -- No. 14 West Virginia and No. 11 Oklahoma State -- to conclude its season,?while No. 6 Washington can reverse its downward course against Arizona State, No. 22 Washington State and against a highly ranked team in the Pac-12 tittle game (No.dddddddddddd. 13 USC, No. 10 Colorado or No. 12 Utah).More good news for Washington, which owns the weakest schedule among the contenders: Stanford re-entered the rankings at No. 24, meaning the Huskies now have two wins over ranked teams.Ohio State is back at No. 2 due to a strong overall résumé, with three top-20 wins (Wisconsin, Oklahoma and No. 18 Nebraska). The Buckeyes could add Michigan to that list, but they also could end up sitting out the Big Ten title game.While No. 4 Clemson is no longer unbeaten, it also has quality wins over No. 15 Auburn, No. 5 Louisville and No. 17 Florida State.Louisville owns a five-game winning streak, and its lone loss was a nail-biter at Clemson. On the other hand, its only quality win came against three-loss Florida State. The Cardinals play unranked Houston on Thursday and conclude their regular season against Kentucky.Wisconsins only losses came in consecutive games with Michigan and Ohio State, while it owns quality wins over No. 16 LSU and Nebraska. The Badgers are at Purdue this weekend and conclude their season at home against Minnesota.In other words, there are a lot of present and future data points that the committee will be considering over the final three weekends. In fact, myriad seemingly off-the-radar games could play roles in how things play out, such as Florida State-Florida and Nebraska-Iowa.Or what about more upsets? Is South Carolina a potentially tricky matchup for Clemson? Or might Michigan State catch the Buckeyes looking ahead?Theres a lot of football left, and last weekend taught us that believing that clarity might be on hand was a foolish conclusion. ' ' '
