BATON ROUGE, La. -- Floridas visit to LSU this weekend -- for what was supposed to be a Gators home game -- is the result of an acrimonious stalemate last month over what to do about an impending natural disaster.Southeastern Conference officials hope to avoid having the rescheduling or relocation of future league games handled the way LSU and Florida did it during Hurricane Matthew -- not just because of the logistical headaches and divisiveness it caused, but also because it has become an unwanted story line in the SEC East Division title race.No. 21 Florida, which needs a victory to clinch the East, was supposed to host LSU Oct. 8 . Instead, the Gators must now travel to Death Valley for 16th-ranked LSUs Senior Day.SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey said Wednesday that discussions are expected to begin during the next conference athletic directors meetings in December about how to refine the process of rescheduling games that need to be delayed or moved, with the aim of producing recommendations which will be forwarded to university presidents for approval. Currently the conference commissioner lacks authority to unilaterally make a scheduling change. League rules dictate that rescheduling must be agreed upon by both schools, forcing Sankey to serve as a mediator.The presidents have made clear to me their intention to address our regulations and bylaws in order to establish a clear path to a decision-making process that gives the commissioners office authority to resolve scheduling issues in a fair and timely manner, Sankey said in an email to The Associated Press. We will use the Hurricane Matthew experience to analyze our processes and to provide clarity to our regulations and bylaws in order to address future interruptions that may be caused by weather or other circumstances.Florida only agreed to play at Tiger Stadium after Sankey made a determination that was within his authority -- to disqualify from SEC championship contention any school that fails to play the eight league games called for by conference rules and regulations. That made it clear that the Gators would be disqualified if the game wasnt rescheduled somewhere, essentially forcing outgoing Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley to give in to LSU athletic director Joe Allevas demand that LSU retain a home game on Nov. 19, when a visit by South Alabama was originally scheduled.Both teams bought out the non-conference teams they were previously slated to host this Saturday, clearing the way for Floridas visit to Death Valley.Gators cornerback Jalen Tabor conceded itll be a little tougher to beat LSU on the road.We love playing in the Swamp, but weve got to go over there, one of the toughest places to play in all of college football, Tabor said. Its going to be a tough challenge.While the Gators are unbeaten at home, theyre 1-2 in other SEC stadiums. And if they lose Saturday, that opens the door for Tennessee to emerge as East champs if the Volunteers win their remaining league games.The Gators arent getting much sympathy from the Tigers or Volunteers, either.I was excited. Its an opportunity for us, Tennessee defensive end LaTroy Lewis said, adding that it definitely caught his attention when Florida was forced to play in Tiger Stadium.As a competitor, I couldnt ignore it, he said.When asked if he empathized with the challenge Florida coach Jim McElwain faces in having to prepare his team for an additional road game in order to win a division title, LSU coach Ed Orgeron responded, No, and then grinned while several around him chuckled at his blunt honesty.For now, McElwain isnt complaining. It wouldnt help if he did -- not this season, anyway.Top college football programs understand it really doesnt matter about who or when or where, McElwain said Wednesday. Its really all about the now, no matter what.Yet, while McElwain withholds criticism of the way rescheduling and relocation was handled during and after Matthew, he said he sees the wisdom in trying to refine policies and contingencies in the event of future postponements.Smarter people will put something together, figure out something that makes it right, McElwain said. Its amazing when some things that you dont ever really kind of think of come up that are totally out of your control. Im not talking this situation, Im talking in general, that we better maybe do something about this should it ever come up again.But theyll do it right. Ive got total trust in the SEC, McElwain added. Its a quality organization led by a guy that knows what the heck hes doing.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org---AP Sports Writers Mark Long in Gainesville, Florida, and Steve Megargee in Knoxville, Tennessee, contributed to this report.

"Hes going to have hip surgery on Jan. 7, and hell be expected to rehabilitate for four to six months beyond that," Canucks general manager Mike Gillis said Friday in an interview.Alex Noren described his superb final-day 63 as the best round of his career after he stormed to a remarkable six-shot victory at the Nedbank Golf Challenge. The Swede was already enjoying the most profitable season of his life, having collected three victories in 10 starts, and he made it four in 11 on his debut at the Gary Player Country Club after turning a six-stroke overnight deficit into a handsome win on the final day. Alex Noren is congratulated by Race to Dubai leader and fellow Swede Henrik Stenson on the 18th green Noren was particularly hot on the greens, opening with a 30-foot putt for birdie and picking up five more shots in an outward 30, and he kept his momentum flowing by holing another long-range effort for eagle at the 10th. The 34-year-old suddenly found himself three clear at the top when he pitched in for another birdie from over the green at the next and, despite a bogey at 14 ending his hopes of a 59, he got the shot back at 16 and parred safely in as 54-hole leader Jeunghun Wang faded down the stretch. Noren carded an eagle, eight birdies and just one bogey in his closing 63 Norens eighth career title lifts him into the worlds top 10 for the first time, a remarkable rise from his ranking of 108th barely four months ago, while he also has an outside chance of overhauling Henrik Stenson at the top of the Race to Dubai standings at next weeks season-ending DP World Tour Championship.Its unbelievable, said the Swede, who claimed his third win of the year at last months British Masters supported by Sky Sports. Yesterday was a bit tough and my game wasnt really there. But I tried to get the right feelings for today and it clicked. I dont think Ive ever played as good, especially on the greens. Norens victory was his fourth of the season and lifted him to world No 9 You get a bit more relaxed as a player and you might be able to hole a putt and it was one of those rounds. This was the round of my life.I think me and my caddie worked a lot on ttrying to go for the right places on the green, because there are so many tricky pins here.dddddddddddd They tuck those pins away up in the corners of the greens and its easy to make bogeys. Live European Tour Golf November 17, 2016, 8:00am Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass All I was trying to do was hit the right shots at the right pieces of the green and putt uphill, and then not make too many bogeys because around here, I think youve got a few birdie chances.Coming off the unbelievable start, on the 10th green I saw that I was leading and Jeunghun (Wang) dropped a few shots. All of a sudden, I was actually in front and not chasing, and that made it a little different. But I stuck in there in it feels amazing. Noren has an outside chance to win the Race to Dubai Noren played the final round alongside Stenson, who extended his Race to Dubai lead over Danny Willett to just under 300,000 points as he closed with a battling 70 to finish in eighth place on six under.Stenson paid tribute to his fellow Swede afterwards, saying: Alex rolled in a big slinger at the first and got a good notch on the second, almost made eagle, and he kept on playing solid and making those putts. It felt like he was on fire, no one was really able to touch him. Stenson retained his Race to Dubai lead after finishing eighth Well done to him, all the credit and hes definitely in there in the mix for the last week. With Alex playing as well as he does, it just motivates me even more to bring my game to Dubai next week and then try and be up there.
