Its one of the classic old-time codes in hockey - that enforcers fight the enforcers. The enforcers protect the skill players. The enforcers dont usually get mixed up with the skill guys. And yet on Sunday night in Toronto, Buffalo Sabres tough guy John Scott and Maple Leafs star forward Phil Kessel hooked up in a battle of words that sparked a fight between them - and a line brawl around them. Scott dropped his gloves and Kessel retreated while swinging his stick at the same time. When it was all said and done, Scott received an instigator penalty along with five minutes for fighting, a 10-minute misconduct and a game misconduct. Kessel received a match penalty for attempt to injure. Most would not support Kessels use of his stick as a weapon, but did Scott break the fighting code in the first place? Kessel is eight inches shorter and 68 pounds lighter than Scott, who is listed at 68" and 270 lbs. "It was pretty stupid, right? He said he was going to jump me...I just backed up," explained Kessel afterwards. "What are you going to do? Hes a big boy, so if hes coming after me, what am I going to do, right?" Maple Leafs head coach Randy Carlyle had noted the escalation in tempers as moments earlier, Torontos 65", 217 lb. Jamie Devane knocked 60", 185 lb. forward Corey Tropp of the Sabres unconscious. "I tried to defuse the situation by putting Kessel, Bozak, and Ashton on the ice (against Scotts line), feeling that there was no threat to something and more carrying on, but obviously I was wrong," said Carlyle. In the shadow of the Kessel-Scott battle, nearly every player on the ice was tagged with either fighting majors or misconducts - and even goalies Jonathan Bernier and Ryan Miller dropped the gloves. Which led to coach Carlyle being asked about the rare sight of the goaltenders mixing it up. "Emotions run high in those situations," he said. "Its hard to pull somebody back...I dont know...if one guy initiates it its that code of honour, its happened before." Hockeys code was followed again on Sunday night, but did Buffalos John Scott break it by going after Torontos star forward? Its Your! Call. Air Max 97 Scontate . The judge sternly instructed the prosecutor to restrain himself and he apologized -- then went right back to trying to pick holes in the testimony of the double-amputee runner.

The Ducks jumping the Seminoles was not a surprise. Florida State had a slim lead on the Ducks in the first standings last week. Oregons convincing 42-14 victory against UCLA gave the Ducks the boost it needed. Oregon moved up to third from fourth in the computer ratings and remained second in both the USA Today coaches poll and the Harris poll to give it a .9517 BCS average. Florida State, after routing North Carolina State 49-17, has a .9211 BCS average. The Seminoles are third in each poll, though they gained a little ground on the Ducks, and second in the computer ratings. Two-time defending national champion Alabama is first across the board. Alabamas remaining schedule is LSU, Mississippi State, Chattanooga and Auburn before a possible Southeastern Conference championship game. If the Crimson Tide run the table, itll likely play in a third straight BCS championship game, and fourth in five years.

Ohio State is still fourth in the standings after its 63-14 victory against Penn State. The Buckeyes remaining games are against Purdue, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan, and are in great shape for a Big Ten champion game appearance, too.

Fresno State, in 16th-place, and Northern Illinois, in 17th, are manoeuvring to become the final BCS busters, in this the last year of the Bowl Championship Series. Fresno State, from the Mountain West Conference, or NIU, from the Mid-American Conference, can earn an automatic BCS bid by reaching the top-12 in the final BCS standings. Both will likely need to remain unbeaten to have a shot. One of them could also get an automatic bid if it finishes in the final top-16 and is ahead of one of the champions from the automatic qualifying conferences. Louisville, in 19th place, and Central Florida, in 23rd place, are currently the highest ranked American Athletic Conference teams in the standings. ' ' '
