YAS MARINA, Abu Dhabi -- Nico Rosberg believes he has what it takes to beat Lewis Hamilton to pole position on Saturday, but says it is going to be a close battle under the lights at Abu Dhabi.Rosberg finished second practice 0.079s off his Mercedes teammate on Friday evening as the two drivers prepared ahead of this weekends title showdown. He lost out in sectors one and three, but is confident he can make up the difference in time for qualifying on Saturday.Yes, hes a little bit faster but I didnt do my lap properly so I still have a bit in reserve, he said. But its going to be tough because hes driving well and its going to be a close battle tomorrow and Ill drive for pole.Im going to dig deep tonight and try and find those extra hundredths in the set-up or whatever and then see how it works.Rosberg only has to finish on the podium to win the title on Sunday, but a top three position could come under threat if Red Bull is able to take the fight to Mercedes this weekend. Asked if he was worried about the impressive long-run pace of both Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo on Friday, the German said he saw nothing out of the ordinary from Red Bull.I think its as per usual, so Red Bull is close. But Ferrari looks quick on one lap, so its a bit difficult to say whos going to be our closest rival. As per usual, we need to get the best out of it and then we have a good chance of being in front of them. Cleveland Browns Jerseys .

Ozzie Newsome Womens Jersey . -- San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks was fined $15,570 by the NFL on Wednesday for his hit on Saints quarterback Drew Brees last Sunday. There are a few things -- just a few -- that are truly predictable in college football.Texas A&M falling out of the College Football Playoff selection committees top four this week is one of them.Week 10 provided several results that will impact the committees Top 25 (which will be revealed Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN), but none bigger than the Aggies defeat. Three teams in the Top 25 lost to unranked opponents: Florida (to Arkansas), Baylor (TCU), and Texas A&M (Mississippi State).Heres a look at the winners and losers from Week 10:WinnersBig Ten Ohio State and Michigan, the leagues two heavyweights and playoff favorites, remained on a collision course for their season-defining Nov. 26 game in Columbus. The Buckeyes stated their case to be the top one-loss team in the country with a 62-3 dismantling of what was the committees No. 10 team in Nebraska. While the Huskers were exposed and are now looking up at Wisconsin in the West division, it was still a better win for Ohio State than what Louisville earned against an unranked, 4-5 Boston College team. The wins by Ohio State and Michigan also kept the leagues chances of getting two teams in the top four alive -- but only if Michigans lone loss is in Columbus and the Buckeyes go on to win the Big Ten title. Theyd also likely need Washington to lose.The Buckeyes and Wolverines werent the only ones who had a good day in the Big Ten. Penn States 41-14 win over Iowa helped justify the committees love, and Wisconsin won twice, first with its 21-7 win over Northwestern, and again with Nebraskas loss, leaving the Badgers with the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Huskers.ACC Clemson and Louisville both completely manhandled lesser opponents and should remain in good standing with the committee. Clemson shut out Syracuse 54-0, and Louisville asserted itself in a 52-7 win against Boston College. Louisvilles problem is that it doesnt have any more ranked opponents left on its schedule, so theres not much else it can do besides win convincingly (not necessarily by 60 points every weekend), and hope for some chaos ahead of it.Pac-12 As long as Washington stays undefeated, the Pac-12 is in good shape, and the Huskies earned their second straight road win, this time at Cal. Three of Washingtons past four wins have comme on the road.dddddddddddd?The Huskies were ?helped by the fact that Texas A&M should fall out of the No. 4 spot. The biggest question now is whether one-loss Ohio State jumps Washington for that No. 4 spot. The committee sent a clear message in its first ranking that it wasnt impressed with Washingtons strength of schedule, despite its undefeated record. Ohio State dominated the committees No. 10 team at home, while Washington dominated an unranked team on the road. Regardless of what happens Tuesday, if Washington remains undefeated and wins the league title, it would likely finish in the top four, and Week 10 was another step in the right direction.LosersBig 12 The Big 12 has been playing from behind since Oklahoma lost nonconference games to Houston and Ohio State, and it certainly didnt help that Baylor, which was the leagues highest-ranked one-loss team, dropped its second game, this time to an unranked TCU team. Unless West Virginia somehow runs the table -- and Oklahoma State loses again -- the Big 12 is guaranteed to have a two-loss league champ.SEC Texas A&M is toast. So is LSU. And, most likely, so are the SECs chances of getting two teams in the top four. The West has boiled down to the Iron Bowl, as Auburn and Alabama would each win the division if it wins out. Auburn got the help it needed when Mississippi State upset the Aggies 35-28, but that was only part of the equation. Auburn still has to beat Georgia and Alabama to win the West.The SEC avoided chaos when No. 1 Alabama escaped LSU with a win, but outside of the consistently dominant Crimson Tide, it wasnt a good look for the league overall. Auburn barely squeaked by Vandy and Ole Miss had to stage a comeback to beat Georgia Southern.?Meanwhile, the SEC East might be the weakest Power 5 division in the country, as four-loss Kentucky -- the same Kentucky that opened the season with back-to-back losses to Southern Miss and Florida -- is trailing only the Gators in the division standings. The same Gators who just lost to unranked Arkansas. So Kentucky, Florida, Tennessee -- take your pick. None of them looks capable of beating Alabama in the SEC title game. ' ' '
