me was feeling better and he was set to test it at shootaround Thursday.Its feeling better. It was just really stiff, and I couldnt get the flick off of it the other day, Hunter said. I had an X-ray as soon as it happened, and he didnt see anything. They didnt want to get an MRI, so thats good.Hunter,

To celebrate the 80th birthday of the AP College Football Poll, the AP has taken a look back at its rankings history. A very long look.The AP released its all-time top 25 -- actually, its top 100 teams -- using a formula that awarded points for poll appearances, No. 1 rankings and AP national titles dating to the polls inception in 1936. The top 10 teams yielded few surprises, as Ohio State?topped the chart, followed by Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Alabama, USC, Nebraska, Michigan, Texas, Florida State?and Florida.But there were some superlatives and oddities to be found throughout the rest of the list:1. Decades of dominance for Wolverines, Seminoles and CornhuskersAnyone who has followed college football for more than 20 years isnt surprised to see Nebraska, Michigan and Florida State in the all-time top 10. But all three teams have a unique distinction: being ranked in the AP poll for an entire decade.Florida State and Nebraska undoubtedly were the teams of the 1990s. Both the Seminoles and Huskers appeared in 100 percent of AP polls during the decade, and both teams claimed ?AP national titles (Florida State in 1993 and 1999; Nebraska in 1994 and 1995). Nebraska had the most dominant prolonged stretch, appearing in all but three polls between 1970 and 1999.Michigan has struggled for most of the past decade, but things were worse in the 1960s, when the Wolverines appeared in less than 27 percent of AP polls. Bo Schembechler arrived as coach and quickly elevated the program, which never left the AP rankings during the 1970s, despite not winning a national title.2. Florida schools are the modern-era poll powersThe AP poll debuted in 1936, and 12 of the all-time top 25 teams made an appearance during that inaugural season. Nine other teams received their first AP ranking within the first six years of the poll. Only three teams made their first appearance in 1950 or later, and all three come from the state of Florida.Both the University of Florida and Miami didnt enter the AP poll until 1950, and Florida State didnt enter until 1964, 12 years before Bobby Bowden arrived as coach. Despite the late arrival, Florida State has held the No. 1 ranking 72 times, tied for sixth most all time with Nebraska. Miami has occupied the top spot 67 times, making 80 percent of its poll appearances between Sept. 29, 1980 and Jan. 4, 2006.3. Not-so low points for Buckeyes, Trojans, Longhorns, IrishIts not only about producing elite teams; a common thread among top-10 teams is not falling out of the poll entirely for long stretches.Not only does Ohio State have the most No. 1 appearances (105), but the highest percentage of total appearances (77.2 percent). Even in the Buckeyes worst decade, the 1940s, they still appeared in more than half of the AP polls (55.7 percent). The 1940s also marked USCs worst decade, but the Trojans still appeared in 47.4 percent of AP polls. Texas fell off in the 1990s but appeared in 47.3 percent of the polls, and Notre Dames low point, the 2000s, still featured appearances in more than 45 percent of polls.Contrast that with Nebraska, which appeared in only 5.17 percent of polls in the 1950, or Alabama, which appeared in less than 19 percent of polls in the 1950s.4. Oklahoma lives at the topAlthough No. 2 Oklahoma trails No. 1 Ohio State by a significant margin in overall poll appearances (852-784), the Sooners have been the nations most consistently elite program in the past 65 years. Oklahoma ranks in the top five in percentage of poll appearances in five of the past six decades (1950s, 1970s, 1980s, 2000s, 2010s).The Sooners won national titles in four of those decades and recorded 27 top-five finishes, including top-five streaks during 1952 to 1958 and 1971 to 1976. Oklahoma has 393 total top-five appearances, more than any other program.5. UCLA the rankings king without a crownThe top 16 teams in the APs all-time rankings all can claim at least one national title. Georgia, No. 15 overall, is the only squad in the group without multiple championships.UCLA has the distinction of being the highest-ranked team (17) without a national title. The Bruins have made 521 appearances in the rankings and surged during the 1980s, appearing in 72.7 percent of polls. They occupied the top spot seven times.The Bruins have nine top-five AP finishes, including a No. 2 in 1954. But they never reached the summit.6. Other top-40 surprisesIf you asked 100 college football fans of various ages to identify the top 40 programs in terms of historical ranking, how many would name Missouri, Purdue or Minnesota?The Tigers, Boilermakers and Gophers occupy the 35th, 36th and 37th spots, respectively, on the APs all-time list. Missouri can point to four top-10 AP finishes in the 1960s, as well as two top-five appearances in the past decade. Purdue has been down for about a decade but boasts strong poll runs from 1958 to 1969 (seven top-20 finishes) and from 1997 to 2003 (five top-25 finishes).Minnesota was the original poll king -- claiming the No. 1 spot in the first AP poll in 1936. The Gophers finished No. 1 that season and followed with No. 1 finishes in 1940 and 1941. Minnesota added another national title in 1960 but has finished in the AP rankings only twice since 1962.7. Colorados glory days recalledColorado didnt make the all-time top 25, finishing just outside at No. 27 (316 points). But its still somewhat impressive the Buffaloes rank so high given their recent struggles. They have endured 10 consecutive losing seasons and havent finished a season ranked since 2002 (No. 20).The reason Colorado ranks so high overall is its impressive run between 1989 and 1996, when it finished in the top 20 each season, posting four top-five finishes in that span, including a national title in 1990.8. The Saban effectThe AP credits Alabama with 10 national titles during the poll era, the most of any program. Alabama has held the No. 1 ranking 74 times, fifth most among FBS teams. But more than half of those No. 1 rankings -- 43, to be exact -- have come during Nick Sabans nine seasons as Tide coach.According to the AP, Alabama held the No. 1 ranking only once between Nov. 3, 1980 and Oct. 26, 2008. The one time? When the Tide won the national title after the 1992 season.9. The long road to the topThe APs all-time rankings give programs like No. 18 Texas A&M, No. 20 Washington and No. 23 Pittsburgh feelings of both pride and disappointment. While its a testament to each programs place in college football history, it also provides a reminder of how long it has been since each program reached elite status.Texas A&M has been the closest in recent seasons, recording a No. 5 finish in the final poll in 2012. But the Aggies havent been No. 1 since November 1957, and last were No. 2 on Dec. 1, 1975.Pittsburgh had a remarkable run from 1976 to 1981, winning the 1976 national title and recording five finishes in the AP top eight. But the Panthers havent reached the top five during the regular season since 1982.Washington shared the 1991 national title (the AP awarded its title to Miami, and Washington topped the final coaches poll). The Huskies had 12 AP top-20 finishes between 1977 and 1997, and six top-10 finishes during 1977 to 1991. But Washington has had one or zero poll appearances in 11 of the past 12 seasons.10. One-time rankings regularsThe APs all-time rankings illustrate how much college football has changed during the past 80 years. While new-age powers like Oregon (No. 28, 293 poll appearances) and Boise State (No. 61, 127 appearances) are represented, so are bygones like Santa Clara (No. 77, 43 appearances), Holy Cross (No. 85, 39 appearances), Duquesne (No. 97, 20 appearances) and, everyones favorite, Iowa Pre-Flight (No. 98, 18 appearances).Tarik Cohen Womens Jersey .

Louis Blues teammates who would also be participating in the Olympics, Alex Pietrangelo felt right at home, no different in some ways to the travel experience of any old road trip – save for the length of the journey, that is.SALT LAKE CITY -- Boston Celtics rookie forward Jaylen Brown, the No. 3 pick in last months draft, said an MRI on his sore right knee revealed only a bone bruise and he should be able to return to game action soon.Brown deemed himself a game-time decision for Thursdays finale of the Utah summer league against the San Antonio Spurs, but Celtics assistant coach Micah Shrewsberry hinted that Brown is more likely to rest and resume action this weekend at the Las Vegas summer league.[The injury] wasnt anything that was drastic -- a bone bruise, hes sore -- but I like my job, Shrewsberry joked. If I put him in there [Celtics president] Danny [Ainge] and [coach] Brad [Stevens] will probably be telling me tomorrow Im looking for new employment. Id be interviewing in Las Vegas.Brown remains eager to show what he can do against NBA competition.I want to play, he said. I know its summer league, but I want to play, so Im gonna try to get back as soon as possible if Im healthy. Im gonna be very cautious, but I want to play.Brown detailed how he hyperextended the knee trying to avoid contact while chasing a loose ball in Mondays win over the Philadelphia 76ers. He said summer league has been a positive experience,?despite being sidelined.Its a mans league. Youve got to get your body prepared, youve got to put on some extra weight to make sure you can bump and grind with those big guys down there, Brown said. Getting to the line 17 times [in his debut on Monday], your bodys taking a beating down there. Its taking a lot of pounding, so my body has to be prepared. Mentally, I have to be ready.Hes also getting used to all the space on the floor at the NBA level.The NBA is kind of fit for me, Brown said. The floor is really spaced and if you put really good shooters on the floor that makes it really good for me, so it makes it easy going to the basket. The lanes are always there; its just about making the right plays and hitting your free throws when you get to the foul line.ddddddddddddShrewsberry, Bostons coach in the summer leagues, said Brown can still absorb information from the sideline.A couple days ago, during walk-through, he just got to sit and watch film with Coach Stevens. He has to take opportunities like that to learn, Shrewsberry said. It doesnt always have to be on the court.He wants to play, he wants to prove himself and show everybody how good he is. Its still learning. And he has to learn in any way, whether thats sitting on the bench next to one our assistants and watching -- they can point things out to him. Thats how he has to take it. Every opportunity is a learning opportunity for him.Celtics second-year guard R.J. Hunter said a sore right wrist that kept him out of Tuesdays game was feeling better and he was set to test it at shootaround Thursday.Its feeling better. It was just really stiff, and I couldnt get the flick off of it the other day, Hunter said. I had an X-ray as soon as it happened, and he didnt see anything. They didnt want to get an MRI, so thats good.Hunter, who is still bulking up to NBA standards, admitted he got dinged up trying to drive at the basket.I went to the basket and -- Im going to try floaters from here on out, Hunter said. It was a new summer, new year, and I tried to body [someone], and I got bodied. So I fell on my wrist. But its a lot better, just a bruise.Asked what hes trying to take from summer league, Hunter said, Just to continue to get a feel. I did a lot of watching last year and I want to implement stuff that I learned. Even in the first [summer league] game, I felt the stuff that I watched last year came naturally. I just have to be more consistent with it, and keep my defense improving. ' ' '
