While Single Gazes omission from the spring was hard for trainer Nick Olive, the forced lay-off may have done wonders for her chances of a second Group One win in autumn.It was very disappointing not to have her in the spring but I think its been the right move because shes had a really good spell and shes come back looking fantastic, Olive said.Single Gaze won the Vinery Stud Stakes in April before she fell and lost rider Kathy OHara in the Australian Oaks.Before spring she was back in work with one eye on the Group One Myer Classic, but Olive decided to end her campaign before it started after he determined she was not 100 per cent.With the setback behind her, Single Gaze returned to work last week and will be gradually eased back into training with Olive at Canberra.Shes just going on the water walker for three weeks and then shell come back to the stable, Olive said.Shes done really well, were really happy with her.While Olive is yet to decide on which races to target, the Coolmore Classic shapes as an attractive Group One option.It just depends how well she is going, Olive said.A more pressing concern is Rhomlo, who can give Olive a rare Highway Handicap runner at Rosehill on Saturday.The horse is currently equal 15th in the order of entry for the race which has a field limit of 13 for the 1100m race.Rhomlo has won two of his three starts this preparation, with the only aberration coming at Nowra where he ran last on October 16.I hate taking my horses to Nowra. Its not the track its just the trip down from Canberra - my horses dont seem to handle it, Olive said.I write that off as a forgive run but the rest of them have been fantastic.Olive has also nominated Snake Gully Cup placegetter Nat King Cu for a benchmark handicap but he is unlikely to accept.

The College Football Playoff selection committee doesnt meet for three more weeks, and heres why: It takes at least two months for conference races to sort themselves out and for the best teams in the country to separate from the rest of pack.Were almost halfway through the season and have a much better idea of which teams to take seriously -- and which to eliminate. Heres a look at the major lessons learned in Week 6:Houston is out The Cougars playoff hopes ended with their loss to Navy, and now they need help just to win the American Athletic West division. It was the game that changed the playoff picture the most; Houston was an X-factor with the potential to knock a second Power 5 conference out of the top four. Houstons chances at another New Years Six bowl are also in critical condition because it would have to win the AAC to have a chance at becoming the highest-ranked Group of 5 champion in the selection committees final top 25. The Cougars need Navy to lose twice in order to get back into the conference race.Tennessee is in a must-win situation against Alabama The Vols nine lives have officially expired. After losing to Texas A&M, Tennessee needs to beat Alabama next week, or it will open the door for Florida to possibly win the East. If the Vols have two losses and the Gators win out, Florida will win the East, which makes rescheduling the game against LSU of the utmost importance to the conference race. On the flip side, if Tennessee loses against Alabama and Florida loses at Arkansas on Nov. 5, the Vols (should they win their other remaining games) would still win the East because Tennessee would win the head-to-head tiebreaker. In order to stay in the drivers seat, though, Tennessee has no more margin for error.Its Washington and everyone else in the Pac-12 The Huskies have dismantled Stanford. Theyve plucked the Ducks. They have now officially manhandled the two programs that have combined to win the league in each of the past seven years. With its win over Oregon on Saturday, Washington snapped a 12-game losing streak to the Ducks and left no doubt it is the Pac-12s new contender for the College Football Playoff.Alabama is one step closer to surviving its season-defining stretch Alabamas win at Ole Miss was critical, but its win at Arkansas was where Bamas nnational title hunt really begins.dddddddddddd It was the first of three straight games the Tide will play against ranked opponents, including Tennessee and Texas A&M. It was also the first of three road trips in a four-game span, including at LSU on Nov. 5. The Tides win against the Hogs was arguably the most impressive of Week 6, but its not going to get any easier.Ohio State and Michigan really need to play each other, not Rutgers The Big Ten heavyweights combined to outscore Rutgers 136-0 over the past two weeks. Thats not a typo. The CFP selection committee compares common opponents without incenting margin of victory, but the margin in this one stretches from Ann Arbor to Piscataway and is impossible to ignore. The committee will need the head-to-head result between Ohio State and Michigan to determine the Big Ten representative.Florida State still owns Miami The Canes made one of the best hires of the offseason when they brought in Mark Richt, but their seventh straight loss to Florida State -- as close as it was -- showed the Canes arent ready to close the gap with their rival. Much of that can be attributed to the Noles defense, which had been relentlessly criticized this season. Miami entered the game averaging 235 yards rushing; Florida State held the Hurricanes to 62 and had back-to-back sacks of Brad Kaaya in the fourth quarter. Miami snuck into the AP top 10 after beating Georgia Tech last week but came up short against its first ranked opponent of the season.Dont turn out the lights on Oklahoma just yet Its a long shot, yes, and Houstons loss to Navy certainly didnt help the Sooners résumé, but Oklahoma can still win out and win the Big 12. It would certainly need help -- another conference champion would have to flop along the way -- and it has to look like a top-four team by the end of November, dominating each opponent. The fact that the Sooners have two losses and no league title game to help compensate is going to be extremely difficult to overcome, but if they beat ranked opponents in Baylor and West Virginia, and Ohio State continues to dominate and win the Big Ten, theres simply no telling how the committee might view OU.
