LONDON -- Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic set up a Sunday shootout for both the ATP finals title and the year-end No. 1 ranking.The worlds top two players had contrasting wins in the semifinals at O2 Arena on Saturday, with Murray surviving a match point to beat Milos Raonic 5-7, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (9) in 3 hours, 38 minutes, the longest ever three-setter in the ATP finals.Djokovic needed just 66 minutes to dispatch Kei Nishikori 6-1, 6-1.Murray arrived at the tournament simply needing to do better than Djokovic to finish the year at No. 1, a position he has held since winning the Paris Masters two weeks ago.Now, that means winning the final.This has never happened in the history of tennis, Djokovic said of the winner-takes-all match on Sunday. Im privileged to be part of the history. This is one of the biggest matches we will ever play against each other.Djokovic might just be in better shape after overwhelming Nishikori, who held his serve only once all match.I pretty much executed everything I tactically planned to do, Djokovic said.My level had been going in the right direction. Im very glad I get to experience this feeling on the court. Now its coming up to the last match of the year, the match everybody anticipated.After squandering chances while serving for the match twice in the final set, Murray converted on his fourth match point during the tiebreaker to finally come through.It was unbelievably tough, Murray said. I had to fight very, very hard. Being broken twice serving for the match was frustrating. It was one of the harder matches Ive played indoors. They are never this long.Murray had won all six of his meetings with Raonic this year, including a straight-sets victory in the Wimbledon final.Murray just needs one last push at the end of a stunning second half to 2016, when he has won Wimbledon and the Olympics before topping the rankings for the first time.Im tired, Murray said. Ive played so much tennis the last few months. Ill just give my best effort tomorrow. Its going to be tough, obviously, but Ill give my best shot. Alexander Mattison Jersey .

Lou Williams scored 25 points and the Hawks continued their offensive upswing as they rolled to an easy 118-85 victory over the Jazz on Friday night, winning their third straight and for the fourth time in five games. Ohio State lost once.Penn State lost twice.The Buckeyes beat three teams that are currently ranked in the top 10 of the College Football Playoff rankings, including two of them on the road.The Nittany Lions defeated two teams that are currently ranked in the top 10 -- one at home and one at a neutral site.If the CFP selection committee decides on Selection Day to include No. 2 Ohio State -- and not No. 7 Penn State -- among the four teams that will compete in the third edition of the playoff, its reasoning has to be as simple as that.Penn States 38-31 victory over No. 6 Wisconsin in Saturday nights Big Ten championship game left plenty of debate about which four teams are most deserving to compete in the playoff.When the Badgers raced out to a 28-7 lead over the Nittany Lions in the first half, it seemed like the selection committees job would be easy. The playoff was going to be neat and tidy, and the committee was only going to have to put a bow on it, like having to decide whether Ohio State or Clemson would wear home uniforms in a CFP semifinal at the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl on Dec. 31.But Penn States remarkable comeback -- the largest in Big Ten title game history -- at least raises the question about which teams are truly most deserving for the four spots. Well find out their identities when the final committee rankings are released Sunday during the College Football Playoff Selection Show (noon ET, ESPN & ESPN App).Defending national champion Alabama will remain the No. 1 seed after routing No. 15 Florida 54-16 in the SEC championship game. No. 3 Clemson, the playoff runner-up to Alabama last season, also seems safe after defeating No. 23 Virginia Tech 42-35 in the ACC championship game. No. 4 Washington was even more impressive in a 41-10 rout of No. 8 Colorado in Friday nights Pac-12 championship game. With 12-1 records and conference titles, the Tigers and Huskies seem to be in pretty good shape -- at least thats what were led to believe.Heres the dilemma for the committee: How much weight do head-to-head results and conference championships carry? Yes, you can argue until youre crimson in the face that Ohio State is a better team than Penn State. If were going by the eye test, though, its not difficult to argue that No. 5 Michigan is also one of the four best teams in the country. The Wolverines took the Buckeyes to the wire on the road a week ago, falling 30-27 in double overtime at the Horseshoe.However, like Ohio State, Michigan didnt win the Big Ten East and didnt play in the conference championship game. Penn State did and won its first conference championship in eight seasons.If you turn on the TV or read an article, people have said that the Big Ten conference is by far the strongest conference in college football, Penn State coach James Franklin said. Ive heard that over and over again. We just won the Big Ten conference championship.Two of the most important factors that weve been led to believe matter most in the race for the College Football Playoff -- head-to-head results and conference championships -- sit squarely in the Nittany Lions corner.Penn State stunned No. 2 Ohio State 24-21 on Oct. 22, winning after Grant Haley returned a blocked field goal for a touchdown with 4 minutes, 27 seconds left in the game. You can call it a fluke, but there wont be an asterisk next to the score when its recorded in history books.?While Penn State has twice as many losses as Ohio State, the Nittany Lions havent lost since falling 49-10 at Michigan on Sept. 24. That 39-point defeat is certainly a big blemish, but theyve won nine games in a row since then, including their big victory over the Buckeyes.Penn States other loss, 42-39 at rival Pittsburgh on Sept. 10, doesnt look as bad as it once seemed, either. The Panthers are the only team that knocked off Clemson this season, winning 43-42 on a last-second field goal at Death Valley on Nov. 12.Over the past two months, its not hard to argue that Penn State is playing as well as anyone outside of Alabama.?We won the Big Ten championship, arguably the best conference in college football, Penn State running back Saquon Barkley said. We beat Ohio State. Weve got a good résumé. But its not up to us.Its up the committee, and its decision wont be easy. If conference championships and head-to-head results really matter, Penn State should be picked ahead of Ohio State. And if conference titles are that important, Clemson and Washington cant be left out so the Buckeyes can be included.Best of luck, committee.Playoff teams after Week 141. Alabama: The Crimson Tide won a third straight SEC title with a 54-16 victory over Florida. They are two victories away from winning their second consecutive CFP National Championship and will probably begin their quest in the same place they played the Gators. Alabama should be the No. 1 seed in the playoff and will probably play No. 4 seed Washington in a CFP semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl in the Georgia Dome on Dec. 31.2. Ohio State: The Buckeyes could only watch as Penn State and Wisconsin played for the Big Ten championship. But it might have been the best thing for them, as they rested and didnt risk a second loss. After beating Michigan 30-27 in double overtime at home last week, the Buckeyes have all but wrapped up a playoff spot and are probably headed to the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl to play ACC champion Clemson in a CFP semifinal.3. Clemson: The Tigers held off No. 23 Virginia Tech 42-35 to win consecutive ACC titles for the first time since winning three in a row from 1986 to 1988. By improving to 12-1, the Tigers also probably locked up a spot in the playoff for the second straight season. The Tigers will either be the No. 2 or 3 seed, and theyre likely headed to a CFP semifinal at the Fiesta Bowl.4. Washington: The Huskies left little doubt about whether they deserved a playoff spot by routing No. 8 Colorado 41-10 in the Pac-12 championship game on Friday night to improve to 12-1 overall. Its their first conference title since 2000, and they picked up their fourrth victory over a Top 25 opponent.dddddddddddd. The Huskies are probably headed to Atlanta to play No. 1 seed Alabama.Next four in contention1. Michigan: The Wolverines CFP hopes all but ended with Washingtons convincing victory over Colorado in the Pac-12 championship game. But Michigans loss at Ohio State last week was ultimately its undoing. The Wolverines will still likely play in a New Years Six bowl game, probably against No. 12 Florida State in the Capital One Orange Bowl on Dec. 30. It would be Michigans first trip to the Orange Bowl since defeating Alabama 35-34 at the end of the 1999 season.2. Penn State: The Nittany Lions gave the committee plenty to think about after rallying from a 21-point deficit in the first half to beat No. 6 Wisconsin 38-31 in the Big Ten championship game. It was the biggest comeback in Big Ten title game history and earned Penn State its first conference title in eight years. Will it be enough for the Nittany Lions to crack the top four? At the very least, theyre probably headed to the Rose Bowl Game presented by Northwestern Mutual on Jan. 2, which is quite an achievement after a 2-2 start.3. Oklahoma: The Sooners routed rival Oklahoma State 38-20 in the Bedlam game, winning their second straight Big 12 title and finishing unbeaten in conference play for the first time since 2004. With the victory, OU likely punched its ticket to the Allstate Sugar Bowl, where it will probably play No. 14 Auburn on Jan. 2.4. USC: Was Colorados 31-point loss to Washington in the Pac-12 championship game enough to drop the Buffaloes behind the Trojans in the final CFP selection committee rankings? If so, the Trojans will play in the Rose Bowl Game presented by Northwestern Mutual on Jan. 2. The Trojans finished the regular season with an eight-game winning streak, including a 21-17 victory over Colorado on Oct. 8.Heisman candidates1. Lamar Jackson, QB, Louisville: Even after he played poorly in Louisvilles final two games, losses to Houston and Kentucky, Jackson is considered the clear Heisman Trophy front-runner. He completed 57.6 percent of his passes for 3,390 yards and 30 touchdowns with nine interceptions while running for 1,538 yards and 21 scores.2. Dede Westbrook, WR, Oklahoma: Westbrook had four catches for 111 yards and one touchdown in the Sooners win over No. 10 Oklahoma State before leaving midway through the second quarter with an injury. It was his ninth straight game with at least one touchdown catch and the eighth time in the past nine games that he had at least 100 receiving yards. He set an OU single-season record with 16 touchdown catches, 12 of which were for 40 yards or more.3. Deshaun Watson, QB, Clemson: Watson accounted for five touchdowns in the Tigers 42-35 win over Virginia Tech, throwing for 288 yards with three touchdowns and rushing for 85 yards with two scores. In 13 games, he has thrown 37 touchdowns (two more than last season) and 15 interceptions (two more than last season). He is 30-3 as Clemsons starter, guiding the Tigers to back-to-back ACC titles.4. Baker Mayfield, QB, Oklahoma: Mayfield completed 13 of 19 passes for 288 yards and three touchdowns against Oklahoma State. He accounted for at least three touchdowns in each of OUs nine Big 12 games and at least four TDs in seven of those contests. The best news for OU fans: He announced after Saturdays game that he is returning for his senior season.Best momentsTweets of the nightBest playsWorst playsQuotes of the night1.
