The thoughts lingered with Mason Rudolph for a while after Sept. 10.You play the what-if game in your head, said Rudolph, the Oklahoma State quarterback whose fourth-down throwaway as time expired in Week 2 should have secured a 27-24 win for the Cowboys over Central Michigan.What if the Mid-American Conference officials, after flagging Rudolph for intentional grounding, had correctly ended the game instead of awarding an untimed down to CMU? What if Rudolph had killed the clock without throwing the ball?What if the Big 12 replay crew -- later suspended for the mistake, alongside the MAC officials -- had taken action before Cooper Rush stepped up in the pocket and heaved a pass 41 yards to Jesse Kroll, who pitched to Corey Willis for the final 10 yards of an unthinkable, game-winning score?And what if all else remained intact -- an uncertainty, to be sure -- after an Oklahoma State victory over the Chippewas, leading to Saturday, when the No. 10 OSU (9-2, 7-1 Big 12) visits ninth-ranked Oklahoma (9-2, 8-0) for the league title and an ever-dwindling shot at the College Football Playoff?You know, thats life, Rudolph said, and youve got to move on. We moved and put it behind us.But have they?Coach Mike Gundy, in nearly the same breath as saying this week that hes not paid any attention to the potential playoff ramifications of the early-season game, mentioned that multiple NFL teams had recently won in the way OSU attempted against Central Michigan.I told the team that I consider that a win -- and I always will, Gundy said Monday. But it was a great life lesson for them. They handled it the right way, and theyve done very well since.After the Cowboys stomped TCU for a seventh consecutive victory, Gundy said he believed that Texas Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt, chair of CFP selection committee, was playing poker and that Hocutt views Oklahoma State as a 10-win team.Hocutt has indicated otherwise.I thought we put a committee together to eliminate the computer, Gundy said later, so the humans could make decisions based on actual game situations. And so, I would think without a computer involved, that it would benefit [Oklahoma State].Fact is, it has not benefited the Cowboys. At least not yet. If Oklahoma State beats the Sooners and there are upsets in the Pac-12 and ACC title games, perhaps the nature of the Week 2 loss -- combined with a Big 12 title -- would help OSU with the committee when compared to a two-loss Big Ten champion, Colorado and Michigan.Among that four-team mix, from which no possible member currently ranks below the Cowboys, Oklahoma State would have to finish in the top two.But what if Oklahoma State, instead, was 11-1 and had not given the committee reason to consider Week 2?I feel like everybody on the team kind of had that same process of thinking, running back Chris Carson said. We all thought, What if something different had happened and we won that [CMU] game? Its something thats on my mind when you see a team with one loss going to the playoff.But its not going to help us to go back and think about it.And thats where Gundy has succeeded most. Despite his own public comments in the past two weeks, the coach closed the matter with his players in mid-September.He told us to come back hot, Rudolph said, bring the fire back into it.Safety Jordan Sterns said the Cowboys may have gained focus as a result of the Week 2 loss. In fact, whos to say that Oklahoma State, without that setback, would have outlasted Pitt and Texas Tech or come from behind in the second half to win two Big 12 games?Coach Gundy did a great job, Sterns said, of saying, Hey you guys played hard. Thats all we can ask for. He told us not to hang our heads. It was all about how we responded. We worked too hard to let a game like that distract us from what our goal was.Remember, Saturday is big. A win over Oklahoma would give the Cowboys their second conference title in 41 seasons.This is for a ring, Sterns said. This is for some jewelry, man.Gundy hinted that he might soon have more to say about the playoff impact of Week 2.Its a non-factor until we play the last game this Saturday, the coach said.And then? Even if the Cowboys win, the chances are good that theyll be left only to ponder the two words that danced in the head of their quarterback.What if? Brett Favre Jersey . The team said Saturday that Lopez was hurt during its 121-120 overtime loss at Philadelphia on Friday. The Nets said they would issue another update next week after consultation with their doctors.

Forward Eduardo gave Ajaccio the lead in the sixth minute after being set up by right winger Benjamin Andre, and the Corsican side looked comfortable in the first half, with the lively Johan Cavalli causing problems with his probing runs from midfield.

NYON, Switzerland -- Under fire for his role in Russias state doping program, Vitaly Mutko has begun the process of a FIFA integrity check to be an election candidate.Mutko, who heads Russian operations to organize the 2018 World Cup, has been elected by European soccer leaders since 2009 to represent them on FIFAs ruling committee.His FIFA seat is due for re-election in April, though potential candidates must pass a vetting and eligibility check by a review panel appointed by the world soccer body.On Friday, Mutko was implicated in widespread evidence detailed by Canadian investigator Richard McLaren that he oversaw a state-backed doping program as sports minister.Hours later, UEFA said Mutko was among five applicants for four vacant seats on the FIFA Council. The April 5 vote is by 55 European member federations.Mutko has retained his FIFA positions and presidency of the Russian soccer federation since McLarens interim report was published in July.The World Anti-Doping Agency then called on the FIFA ethics committee to investigate Mutko based on McLarens evidence.The full investigation report release on Friday seemed to confirm that Mutko was asked to cover up a positive doping test by a Russian Premier League player from Uzbekistan.Mutko was also implicated as sports minister in overseeing widespread doping programs of Russian athletes who competes at the 2012 London Olympics, 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, and the 2013 track and field world championships, held in Moscow.ddddddddddddIt is unclear if FIFAs ethics committee has a mandate to prosecute non-soccer cases.Asked on Friday if UEFA could launch its own investigation of Mutko, leaders of the European body deferred to FIFAs ongoing vetting process.We have written to FIFA with the five potential candidates and the procedure is FIFA has to go through this eligibility check, UEFA legal director Alasdair Bell said.Bell acknowledged that the McLaren report appears to contain some serious allegations though noted that these are contested.Three of Mutkos long-standing colleagues are standing down from their FIFA Council seats from Europe: Michel DHooghe of Belgium, Senes Erzik of Turkey, and Marios Lefkaritis of Cyprus.UEFA said the other election contenders are: Sandor Csanyi, a current UEFA executive committee member from Hungary; Geir Thorsteinsson, president of Icelands soccer federation; former AC Milan player Dejan Savicevic of Montenegro; and Costakis Koutsokoumnis, the Cyprus federation president.
