Marlon Humphrey would eat lunch with the other Alabama fans in elementary school, proudly sporting his red wig and his fathers old crimson lettermans jacket. The kids who rooted for Auburn sat elsewhere, of course.Its rivalry week around the Southeastern Conference. States -- and school cafeterias, in some cases -- are divided, as was the case at Gwin Elementary when it came Iron Bowl time.Its crazy. Its a really big deal, said Humphrey, now a cornerback for the top-ranked Crimson Tide, where his father Bobby once starred.So are a half-dozen other games between traditional rivals. Not all of them have high national stakes involved, but theyre all big for the respective fans every single time.No. 13 Florida plays No. 15 Florida State before heading to the SEC championship game against Alabama. Georgia hopes for a strong finish to Kirby Smarts first season against Georgia Tech. Mississippi and Mississippi State hope to put a satisfying ending to disappointing seasons, with the Rebels trying to secure bowl eligibility with a sixth win.Like Auburn, Kentucky and South Carolina are trying to pull off huge road upsets. Kentucky faces No. 11 Louisville and the Gamecocks go against No. 4 Clemson.Vanderbilts also seeking a sixth win against Tennessee, the preseason East Division favorite.Whatever kind of season theyve had, it just feels better with a closing win over that hated rival.These games are always quite interesting regardless of record and are always highly competitive, Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said. I know this one will be no different.Not every SEC matchup this week has that same history and magnitude but Arkansas-Missouri Friday and Texas A&M-LSU Thursday night are border games for teams with no active in-state rivalries.---Heres a look at this weeks traditional rivalries involving SEC teams:ALABAMA-AUBURNSeries began: 1893.Series record: Alabama leads 44-35-1.Trophy: James E. Foy V-ODK Sportsmanship Trophy.Why its a big deal: The Iron Bowl largely consumes a state year-round partly because there are no major pro teams in Alabama. For folks in Alabama, and probably the region, at least, its regarded as college footballs greatest rivalry.Best game: No. 4 Auburn 34, No. 1 Alabama 28, 2013. Forever known as the Kick-Six game , it was a back-and-forth game featuring key defensive stops and big plays. Then, of course, Chris Davis returned a missed field goal 109 yards on the final play. Plus a trip to the SEC championship game and national title shot was on the line for both.This year: Alabama has already secured a spot in the SEC title game against No. 13 Florida, and is assured of a playoff berth with wins. Auburn could turn this from a solid season to a really good one in the eyes of most fans.---GEORGIA-GEORGIA TECHSeries began: 1893Series record: Georgia leads 65-38-5 according to its records and 65-40-5 according to Georgia Tech, including two wins during World War II which Georgia doesnt count.Trophy: Governors CupWhy its a big deal: Each team is aiming for a strong regular-season finish to cast a positive shine on mostly disappointing records. Georgia is looking to give first-year coach Kirby Smart a win in his debut in the series, which Georgia Tech is looking for its second win in three years.Best game: Georgia Tech 51, Georgia 48, OT, 1999. The teams combined for 1,102 total yards in the highest scoring game in the series. Georgia blocked the Yellow Jackets first field goal attempt in overtime, but Georgia Tech recovered to set up Luke Mangets game-winning 38-yarder.This year: There are many similarities. Each team is 7-4 overall and 4-4 in its conference. Georgia has won three straight, including a 13-7 upset of then-No. 8 Auburn. Georgia Tech has won four of five, including a 30-20 upset of then-No. 18 Virginia Tech. Each team features strong running games. A major difference is the Yellow Jackets are led by senior quarterback Justin Thomas, while freshman Jacob Eason starts for the Bulldogs.-----KENTUCKY-LOUISVILLESeries began: 1912 (resumed in 1994 after a 70-year hiatus).Series record: Tied, 14-14.Trophy: Governors Cup.Why its a big deal: The schools longtime basketball rivalry is obviously bigger but getting a head start on Bluegrass bragging rights never hurts. Kentucky dominated Louisville 220-0 in the series first six games before the Cardinals responded to win 14 of 22 since then with five straight wins. The programs opposite fortunes in recent years have helped fuel its intensity resulting in close games and short tempers, boiling over two years ago in Louisville with a pregame brawl at midfield.Best game: Louisville 44, Kentucky 40, 2014. That contest was the series first as the season finale and the Cardinals trailed 13-0 before reserve quarterback Kyle Bolin entered to throw for 381 yards and three touchdowns in a shootout that denied the Wildcats bowl eligibility. (Note: Louisville did it again last fall with a 38-24 win after trailing 21-0.)This year: Having ended a six-year postseason drought, Kentucky aims to enhance its profile for one of several bowls. No. 11 Louisville had its College Football Playoff hopes dashed with last weeks loss at Houston but remains in the mix for several bowls, including the Orange.---OLE MISS-MISSISSIPPI STATESeries began: 1901.Series record: Ole Miss leads 63-43-6.Trophy: The Golden Egg.Why its a big deal: The Egg Bowl is the biggest sporting event in Mississippi, pitting two schools that have long been annoyed by one anothers presence. Even in years where both teams are struggling (like this one), a win in the Egg Bowl can put a positive spin on the season. The outcome in some cases can cost a coach his job. In recent history, both Ole Miss Ed Orgeron (2007) and Mississippi States Sylvester Croom (2008) have been fired following humiliating Egg Bowl losses.Best game: Ole Miss 24, Mississippi State 23, 1983. In a game that many call The Immaculate Deflection, Mississippi States 27-yard game-winning field goal attempt in the final seconds looked like it was heading right through the uprights until a huge gust of wind came through the horseshoe-shaped stadium in Jackson, Mississippi, and pushed the ball back short of the uprights.This year: Saturdays matchup is mostly about pride. Ole Miss can assure a bowl berth with its sixth victory, while Mississippi State will try to spoil the party in Oxford and win the Egg Bowl for the first time since 2013.---TENNESSEE-VANDERBILTSeries began: 1892.Series record: Tennessee leads 75-29-5 or 75-30-5 by Vanderbilts count.Trophy: None.Why its a big deal: No nickname and no trophy in this rivalry. But Vanderbilt so dominated this series that Tennessee hired coach Robert Neyland in 1926 with the simple mission of beating the Commodores. Since 1928, Tennessee has lost just 11 games to Vandy with 2 ties. Separated by about 200 miles, Tennessee is the states public university, while Vanderbilt is the Southeastern Conferences lone private school.Best game: Vanderbilt 28, Tennessee 24, 2005. Jay Cutler drove the Commodore down the field for the winning touchdown with 1:11 left to end Tennessees 22-game win streak that was the second-longest between major teams in then-Division I-A. The Commodores got their first win at Neyland Stadium since 1975 and kept the Vols from being bowl eligible for the first time since 1988.This year: Tennessee, with a win and some help from other SEC teams, could go to the Sugar Bowl. Vanderbilt could be bowl eligible before kickoff thanks to its SEC-best APR, but the Commodores want their third win in five years to give coach Derek Mason his best season yet with a sixth win earning bowl eligibility on the field.---FLORIDA-FLORIDA STATESeries began: 1958.Series record: Florida leads 34-24-2Trophy: Florida Cup.Why its a big deal: Once dominated by the Gators, it was especially prominent in the 1990s between Spurriers Florida teams and Bobby Bowdens Seminoles. The teams were both routinely ranked in the Top 10 during the 1990s. Both teams also have other big rivals, like Florida-Georgia and Florida State-Miami.Best game: FSU won a matchup of 1 versus 2 in 1996, 24-21. Spurrier complained that some of the hits on quarterback Danny Wuerffel were late and Bowden responded by saying his guys hit to the echo of the whistle. The teams had a rematch in the Sugar Bowl for the national title, and Florida romped 52-20 for the programs first championship.This year: Florida has already clinched an SEC championship game berth against No. 1 Alabama, with an outside shot at making the playoffs. The Seminoles, who made the playoffs two years ago, are 8-3 and out of the division race.---SOUTH CAROLINA-CLEMSONSeries began: 1896.Series record: Clemson leads 67-42-4.Trophy: Palmetto Bowl TrophyWhy its a big deal: Because theres no pro sports teams in the Palmetto State so the football game between the states two major universities is the marquee sporting event -- something fans salivate over 365 days a year. It once, back in 2004, sparked a sidelines clearing brawl that cost both teams bowl games as punishment.Best game: Clemson 16, South Carolina 14, 2000. With Lou Holtz leading a turnaround season for the Gamecocks, South Carolina held a 14-13 lead in the final minute. Clemson quarterback Woody Dantzler heaved a 50-yard pass to Rod Gardner that set up Aaron Hunts last-second field goal. South Carolina fans say Gardner pushed off, Holtz event slamming officials by saying there were 29 people on the field deciding the game. Replays seemed to show Gardner gaining separation on Andre Goodman with a solid stiff arm.This year: Clemson needs to win to keep its College Football Playoff hopes alive. Spoiling that dream for No. 4 Clemson would perhaps make this bowl eligible South Carolinas greatest victory.---AP Sports Writers Pete Iacobelli, Charles Odum, David Brandt, Mark Long and Teresa Walker contributed to this report.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Cleveland Indians are in a strange predicament after their game Thursday at Detroit was rained out.While the Indians have already clinched the American League Central, they are still contending for the best AL record and home-field advantage. The Tigers are still in the hunt for a wildcard spot in the playoffs.But after a four-hour plus delay with more than six inches of rain pouring on the field, the game was called. It will be made up Monday in Detroit if necessary for postseason ramifications.While the Indians close out the regular season (maybe) with three games this weekend in Kansas City, they could wind up playing Monday.I think wed like to talk to everybody Monday, Indians manager Terry Francona said about picking the 25-man playoff roster. Were supposed to have an optional workout but we might be here playing. Well try, for the players sake well try to have decisions made so we can tell everybody whats going on.The revised rotation has left-hander Ryan Merritt making his first major league start Friday at Kansas City. He was slated to start Thursday. Right-handers Trevor Bauer, Saturday, and Josh Tomlin, Sunday, will remain in their slots. Right-hander Adam Plutko was originally scheduled to start Friday, but Merritt will replace him.If we were to play Monday, that would actually be a better day for Tomlin to pitch, because it gets more closer, less time in between (starts), Francona said. But if we dont know, were not going to gamble on it. Well see. Unless we knew wed probably have a bullpen day. If they went into their gaame Sunday and they werent sure there was going to be a game, were not going to hold Tomlin out.dddddddddddd Weve got to worry about ourselves.While the Indians know they are in the postseason, the 2015 World Series champion Royals are aware they will not be in the playoffs for the first time in three years. They were mathematically eliminated on Wednesday.The Royals have been riddled by injuries to key players this season, including All-Stars Mike Moustakas, Alex Gordon, Wade Davis and Lorenzo Cain missing significant time. If they were healthy all season, the Royals might be back in the postseason.There is really no playing the what-if game, Royals manager Ned Yost said. It doesnt do you any good.The Royals will start right-hander Yordano Ventura for the series opener Friday. Ventura has won three of his past four decisions at Kauffman Stadium, where he is 7-4 with a 4.31 ERA and opponents batting .248 off him. Ventura gave up 10 hits, matching a season high, in four innings in a no-decision against Detroit in his previous start.Ventura is 5-2 with a 3.56 ERA since Aug. 1. Prior to that, he was 6-9 with a 4.88 ERA.Merritt went 11-8 with a 3.70 ERA in 24 starts with Triple-A Columbus. He has made three relief appearances with the Indians, allowing one run and three hits over six innings. Merritt, 24, was a 16th-round draft pick in 2011 out of McLennan Community College in Waco, Texas, where he was a junior college All-American. cheap falcons jerseyscheap ravens jerseyscheap bills jerseyscheap bears jerseyscheap bengals jerseyscheap cowboys jerseyscheap lions jerseyscheap texans jerseyscheap colts jerseyscheap jaguars jerseyscheap chiefs jerseyscheap rams jerseyscheap dolphins jerseyscheap vikings jerseyscheap saints jerseyscheap giants jerseyscheap jets jerseyscheap eagles jerseyscheap steelers jerseyscheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
