RALEIGH, N.C. -- Theres a lot for the Atlantic Coast Conference to sort out between now and December -- on and off the field.Louisvilles Lamar Jackson and Clemsons Deshaun Watson have the inside track in a compelling Atlantic Division race, and No. 15 Miami sure looks like the team to beat in the Coastal.But the biggest question looming over the league is where those two division winners will meet in the title game, after it was pulled from Charlotte over concerns about a state law that limits the protections of LGBT people.Where, when and how a replacement will be selected and announced is unclear.League athletic directors referred questions about the process to the ACC office, and league officials declined multiple interview requests to discuss the topic.Nobody from the ACC has spoken publicly about it since the leagues council of presidents voted last week at a regularly scheduled meeting to relocate 10 neutral-site championships from North Carolina until the law known as HB2 is repealed.Signed into law earlier this year by Republican Gov. Pat McCrory, HB2 requires transgender people to use restrooms at schools and government buildings corresponding to the sex on their birth certificates. It also excludes gender identity and sexual orientation from local and statewide antidiscrimination protections.In announcing the decision to relocate the title game, ACC Commissioner John Swofford said the process of making such a move in only 2+ months our next challenge. The league also must find new homes for the womens basketball and baseball championships, among others.Among the issues that must be addressed:- Making sure there are enough hotel rooms available for the teams, their fans and the conference officials who will attend.- Arranging the activities surrounding the game.- Issuing refunds to those who already purchased game tickets for Charlotte.Certainly, theres a short timeframe in transitioning some of our championships, the football championship logistically being the most difficult, Swofford said. But when youre making decisions on principle, you dont pick and choose in terms of specific championships.Charlotte had been a convenient, successful host the past six years, drawing an average crowd of nearly 70,000. With four ACC teams in the Top 25 -- No. 3 Louisville, No. 5 Clemson, No. 13 Florida State and Miami -- this years matchup figures to be worthy of its prime-time slot on either ESPN or ABC.They put on such a great show, North Carolina coach Larry Fedora said of Charlotte. Fedoras Tar Heels lost to Clemson last year.Now that Charlotte is out, the question everybody is asking is where the game will be held.Swofford said when he announced the move that the ACC had reached out in a small way to potential hosts, saying there were probably limited possibilities while not identifying them.Were not there yet, but we feel like we can move reasonably quickly, he said.They can probably rule out both of the two previous sites in Florida -- Jacksonville and Tampa -- because theyre already booked that weekend: South Florida plays Central Florida in Tampa on Dec. 3, and the NFLs Jacksonville Jaguars play at home on Dec. 4. The ACC title game was played in Jacksonville from 2005-07, then in Tampa for two years before moving to Charlotte.One obvious possibility is Orlando, Florida. That city annually hosts two bowl games with ACC ties -- the Citrus and Russell Athletic bowls have agreements to take its teams -- and this year an opening game between Mississippi and Florida State was played at 65,000-seat Camping World Stadium.A spokesman for Florida Citrus Sports, the group that organizes those games, declined comment, referring all questions to the ACC.The Washington area also could be a candidate. The ACC is no stranger to the metro D.C. area -- its mens basketball tournament was held in downtown Washington in March -- and FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland, has hosted a handful of college games, with West Virginia playing BYU there this weekend. Plus, the stadium will be available: The Redskins dont have any home games between Nov. 20 and Dec. 19.When asked about the possibility, team spokesman Tony Wyllie said his focus was solely on the Redskins next opponent, the New York Giants.Another option for the ACC would be to follow the lead of the Pac-12, American Athletic Conference and Conference USA, and play the title game on campus, perhaps at the home field of the highest ranked team. That would put even more at stake for Louisville next week when the Cardinals visit Clemson -- which still must play at Florida State on Oct. 29 to complete the Atlantic Divisions brutal round robin.I dont have any thoughts other than I hope were in the championship. Well go to Pluto and play, wherever, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. Just tell us where its at and well go play.That seems to be what everyone is waiting for from the ACC.---AP Sports Writers Aaron Beard in Chapel Hill, North Carolina; Pete Iacobelli in Clemson, South Carolina; Will Graves in Pittsburgh; and John Kekis in Syracuse, New York, contributed to this report.Thilo Kehrer Paris Saint-Germain Jersey . -- Running backs Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings were back at practice for the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday despite being hampered by hamstring injuries.

Arthur Zagre Jersey .C. -- After a listless first half, the Washington Wizards used a big third quarter run to beat the Charlotte Bobcats Bradley Beal scored 21 points and the Wizards used a 17-0 run in the third quarter to take control of what had been a close game and beat the Bobcats 97-83 on Tuesday night.NORMAN, Okla. -- For the past five years, Oklahoma coaches have had few worries about who would lead the Sooners offensive line. First All-American Gabe Ikard, then Ty Darlington starred at center and the two erudite linemen proved to be vital cogs on teams that won a pair of Big 12 Conference titles.Oklahoma will start this season at No. 3 in The Associated Press rankings and is considered a serious contender for a spot in the College Football Playoff for the second straight year, but one of the primary questions for the Sooners will be how quickly a young offensive line can develop and open the way for stars such as quarterback Baker Mayfield and running backs Samaje Perine and Joe Mixon.Much will depend on junior Jonathan Alvarez, who is moving from guard to take Darlingtons place at center, and on the two other returning starters, sophomores Dru Samia and Orlando Brown. Their teammates and coaches believe they will be up to the challenge.Its been good so far, Mayfield said. Jon did a good job of watching Ty. Ty was a very smart player, always knew what he was doing, so he got to watch Ty for a couple of years. Now hes on his own, hes controlling his own path now. Hes done a good job of putting us in a good situation.It also helps to have Orlando and Dru at the tackles, to have experience, too, so we can kind of surround those younger guards with experience and try to teach them the ropes.The 6-foot-3, 308-pound Alvarez played center in high school and started at that position against Tulsa last season. He has the added benefit of being able to pick the brain of Darlington, who remains on the Oklahoma campus, about the nuances of playing center.Last year, when I was at guard, I still always heard what he was telling the centers, Alvarez said. Ty would always explain to me why he was making these calls. It helped me get my train of thought going a lot more. It helped me prepare the way I need to.As important as Alvarez will be to the Sooners fortunes, so, too, are Samia and Brown, who started as freshmen at right and left tackle. The 6-foot-8, 340-pound Brown is imposing physically, much like his father, the former NFL lineman by the same name, while the 6-foot-4 Samia has bulked up 30 pounds this season to 305 pounds, something offensive line ccoach Bill Bedenbaugh said will make a huge difference in his effectiveness.ddddddddddddBedenbaughs primary concern is figuring out who will play on the outside of the Sooners line and developing depth. Several candidates have emerged during preseason practices, including junior college transfer Ben Powers, redshirt freshmen Bobby Evans and Cody Ford and redshirt sophomore Alex Dalton.Junior Christian Daimler (who has yet to play in three years with the Sooners), redshirt sophomore Quinn Mittermeier and seniors Erick Wren, Sam Grant and Jamal Danley also could figure into the mix.Alvarez said the Sooners experienced linemen want to help teach the newcomers, but at some point, they have to pick it up on their own and figure it out. They cant have somewhere all the time. I cant tell them what to do. They have to figure out what to do on their own.Bedenbaugh wasnt satisfied with the lines performance in Oklahomas first preseason scrimmage, calling it very average and too inconsistent. He is aware hes under pressure to have a solid group of linemen ready for the Sooners opener against No. 15 Houston on Sept. 3. Two weeks after that, No. 6 Ohio State will visit Norman in a much-anticipated game.Ideally youd like to have a two-deep, Benenbaugh said. (But) that doesnt happen very often. What youd like to have is eight guys, a starting five and then a tackle that can play both positions and a backup center. I dont know how its going to work out. Were still young and inexperienced so well see how it shakes out. . But if we can get eight guys and some guys can roll, then well be fine.Having good line depth is critical for the fast-paced offense preferred by offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley.It gives you more confidence to do it as a coach, Riley said. It gives you the confidence if a guy gets nicked up here or there that you can keep going on with it. ... We were lucky last year. Injury-wise, we stayed pretty healthy until the last game. The depth did show up a little bit there. It was a major factor in that last game. Itll be a major factor at some point this year, too.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
