EUGENE, Ore. -- Oregon is treating this week like any other this season. And while thats more comfortable in a way, it also feels a little odd. After all, the Ducks are preparing to face Ohio State in the national championship game Monday night at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The two teams are the first to experience a season stretched out for one more game by college footballs new playoff system. Both teams have already had their bowl games and all the hoopla that goes with that, so this is more of a business trip, said Oregon senior safety Erick Dargan. A really important business trip. Its just like a regular week. I think that actually plays more to our advantage than having a lot of time, Dargan said. Were back in our groove. The Ducks (13-1) routed Florida State 59-20 in the Rose Bowl, while the Buckeyes (13-1) beat Alabama 42-35 in the Sugar Bowl on New Years Day, paving the way for the championship 11 days later. Upon arrival for the game in Pasadena, second-seeded Oregon was involved in all the customary Rose Bowl activities, including the obligatory visit to Disneyland for the photo op with Mickey Mouse. They had essentially already done their work: There had been 26 days between the teams regular-season finale and the Granddaddy of Them All. That gave the Ducks plenty of time to scheme for the Seminoles and quarterback Jameis Winston. The fourth-seeded Buckeyes were similarly prepared upon arrival in New Orleans, giving them time for events like a dinner that featured entertainment from a couple of alligators and a python. Adding the national championship as a 15th game presents some unique challenges for coaches and their players -- like guarding against fatigue or injury. I was talking to someone earlier and they said its been like 25 weeks. I guess it is just part of the grind. Part of our job is taking care of your body and making sure youre ready to go when youre number is called, said Ohio State senior receiver Evan Spencer. Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer led a former team, Florida, to national championships in 2006 and 2008. There wasnt a lot of comparison he could offer. Practices are a little different. Those ones, we had 37 days to prepare. I remember in 06 it was 37 or 47, some ridiculous number; 06 was the first one removed from the traditional bowl date, he said. This one, Meyer said, is a one game shot that really, you have four practices in shoulder pads. Oregon was keeping everything the same as during the regular season. Same practice times, same meeting schedule. The Ducks, like the Buckeyes, leave Friday for the Dallas area. We understand what were playing for. But the nice thing is that guys who havent been in a game like this -- not many of us have -- it makes it easier to treat it like a regular game, Oregon centre Hroniss Grasu said. Coach Mark Helfrich was one of those who called it all odd. But in a good way. Its weird in some sense: Its obviously not just another game, but its sort of just another week of fall. Were in school, theyre not, so thats a little bit of nuance to it. But weve had a plan for this and built a plan for this last summer and our guys have done a phenomenal job of executing our long-term plan, he said. Logistically, the time of day and how were practicing, all that stuff is the same. But obviously what were doing during that time is different from when you are in Week 1 or Week 26, or whatever it is now.

"Its not done, but its a huge step," Hannover general manager Dirk Dufner said. Poor defending allowed the visitors to score in the second minute, when Leon Andreasens header from Christian Panders cross sent the ball inside the far post.OTTAWA - The Ottawa Senators were relieved to see Bobby Ryan on the ice at practice Saturday afternoon. Ryan left Fridays 4-2 win over the Boston Bruins after taking an elbow to the face from Dennis Seidenberg late in the third period and missed the final three minutes of the game. The two were going for a puck in the corner and collided shortly after Ryan had given the Senators a 4-2 lead. Ryan said he was hit "right on the button," and admitted it was a "weird feeling." "I spent quite a bit of time in the other room kindd of loosening things up and getting moving," said Ryan.dddddddddddd "But I felt a lot better today than last night thats for sure." Ryan wasnt sure if he was going to be able to practise in preparation for Sundays game against the Columbus Blue Jackets when he arrived at the arena on Saturday morning. Still, he was able to get on the ice with his teammates and participate in a full day of work. As of now Ryan is questionable for Sunday and will undergo further evaluation to ensure there is no further risk of injury. ' ' '
