GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- The Southeastern Conference might be on its way to making more history.The powerhouse football league, which won an unprecedented seven consecutive national championships (2006-12) and eight in the last 10 years, could have a record number of first-round picks in the 2017 NFL draft.Yes, its early and the big event is still six months away. But with mock drafts being updated weekly, its becoming clear that the SEC is loaded -- as usual -- with top NFL talent. There might even be more than ever before.CBS Sports latest projection has half the first round coming from the SEC. ESPN, meanwhile, has 15 SEC players ranked among its top 32 prospects. The league shares the record for the most first-round picks from one conference with the Atlantic Coast Conference, which had 12 in 2006. The SEC tied it in 2013, and also set a record with 63 players drafted that year.Oh yeah, I see it, Florida cornerback Jalen Tabor said, reeling off a list of the leagues big names. There are a lot of guys, plenty of them.Although the conference is widely regarded as Alabama and everybody else, the talent pool runs deep -- especially on the defensive side of the ball -- as more than half of the 14 teams could have at least one first-rounder in April.---Heres a look at how some of the highly touted players are doing as the SEC nears the seasons halfway point:- LSU safety Jamal Adams: He might be a better pro prospect than Alabamas Mark Barron (2012) and LSUs Eric Reid (2013). The junior has 19 tackles and seems like a lock to get drafted higher than his father, George, who was taken 19th overall by the New York Giants in 1985.- Alabama defensive end Jonathan Allen: Although hes unlikely to come close to his goal of breaking Derrick Thomas Football Bowl Subdivision sack record (27 set in 1988), Allen is clearly the Tides undisputed leader on defense. The senior has four sacks, six quarterback hurries and a fumble return for a touchdown.- Tennessee defensive end Derek Barnett : After recording 10 sacks in each of his first two seasons, Barnett has five this year -- all in SEC play. Hes seven shy of Reggie Whites school record (32). He means as much to this team and this unit as any player on any team on any unit, defensive coordinator Bob Shoop said.- Florida defensive tackle Caleb Brantley: He hasnt been as dominant as predecessors Sharrif Floyd, Dominique Easley, Dante Fowler or Jonathan Bullard, but the fourth-year junior has shown flashes. He has eight tackles and a sack, raising speculation about whether his production can match his potential.- Georgia running back Nick Chubb: After missing most of two games with a sprained left ankle, Chubb returned to form with 121 yards rushing and two touchdowns at South Carolina last week. The junior ranks fifth in the league in rushing, carrying 100 times for 546 yards and five scores.- Vanderbilt linebacker Zach Cunningham: He leads the league with 62 tackles and 10 1/2 tackles for loss. His size, speed and versatility will allow him to play multiple spots at the next level.- Alabama linebacker Reuben Foster: An intimidating defender who has can run sideline to sideline with just about anyone, Foster leads the Tide with 37 tackles. He left last weeks game at Arkansas with a concussion.- LSU running back Leonard Fournette: One of the most dynamic players in the country, Fournette has missed two games because of a sprained left ankle and would have sat out last week at Florida had the game not been postponed. After running for 1,953 yards and 22 touchdowns in 2015, Fournette has 386 yards and two scores this season.- Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett: Its easy to see why NFL scouts consider Garrett a top-five pick, maybe even the overall No. 1 selection. The 6-foot-5, 270-pound junior runs the 40-yard dash in 4.46 seconds, has a 38 1/2-inch vertical jump and continues making plays despite a leg injury. Heres a guy with a bright future and with a lot at stake, coach Kevin Sumlin said. That tells you where he is as a person. Not just a great football player, but a great person.- Missouri defensive end Charles Harris: A zero-star recruit in high school, Harris has used a relentless motor to become Missouris best player. He had 18 1/2 tackles for loss and seven sacks as a sophomore last year, but had a slow start this season while adjusting to a new scheme. He has 19 tackles and 4 1/2 sacks.- Alabama cornerback Marlon Humphrey: The son of former NFL running back Bobby Humphrey, Marlon Humphrey is becoming known for more than being the guy who recovered the Tides pivotal onside kick in the national title game against Clemson. Hes emerged as a shutdown corner.- Mississippi quarterback Chad Kelly : Despite a difficult early schedule, the senior ranks third in the league with 1,596 yards passing and 13 touchdowns. Hes struggled with sacks and turnovers, but has been better the last two weeks against Georgia and Memphis.- Tennessee linebacker Jalen Reeves-Maybin: A senior and team captain who recorded more than 100 tackles in each of the last two years, Reeves-Maybin could be done for the season with a shoulder injury. It also could affect his draft stock. Coach Butch Jones says hes still looking at some different options for what avenues he wants to pursue.- Alabama offensive tackle Cam Robinson: The 6-foot-6, 320-pound left tackle hasnt missed a start in his college career (35 games). He was a big reason the Tide won the Joe Moore Award as the nations top line in 2015.- Tabor: Floridas junior cornerback served a one-game suspension for fighting in practice and was humbled by a loss at Tennessee. Otherwise, hes been as good as advertised with three interceptions in four games.- Alabama linebacker Tim Williams: Mostly coming off the bench as a pass-rush specialist, Williams has 3 1/2 sacks and a team-leading seven quarterback hurries.---AP Sports Writers David Brandt, Brett Martel, Steve Megargee, Kristie Rieken, Teresa Walker and John Zenor contributed to this report.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.orgStitched Mariners Jerseys .Y. -- Vancouver Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo had little trouble picking up his first shutout of the season against a Buffalo Sabres team thats having trouble scoring goals.

The Canucks have lost five straight games and six of their last seven, leaving them in a logjam in the Pacific Division, currently sitting fifth - good for ninth in the Western Conference.Prince Ali bin al-Husseins lawyers have moved to have the FIFA presidential election suspended.Prince Alis legal representatives have made an official request to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to postpone the event because of fears over voting arrangements.CAS confirmed: We have registered an appeal and request for urgent provisional measures filed by Prince Ali Al Hussein. FIFA has been invited to file written observations in reply to Prince Alis request. The request for provisional measures will be decided by CAS no later than the morning of Thursday 25 February.Al-Husseins chief concern is that middle men are offering money to the 209 member associations to vote for different candidates. Al-Hussein wants transparent voting booths used at the congress, but this request was rejected by FIFA, while there have also been suggestions he has asked voters to take a picture of their voting card for proof.Al-Husseins second concern is that two of the candidates, UEFAs Gianni Infantino and the Asian Football Confederations Sheik Salman, are backed by their own associations.They will therefore have more of their own people accredited and present at the Zurich congress, and Al-Hussein is concerned these people will try to cajole the 209 voters to vote for their men.Al-Husseins third complaint is that Infantino, the second favourite to win behind Sheik Salman, has admitted he has been talking to Michel Platini - the suspended FIFA president - on the phone, and that it is breaking election rules. Mark Pieth, the former chairman of FIFAs independent governance committee , has backed Prince Alis calls to postpone the presidential election In a statement, Al-Husseins lawyers said: FIFA opposed our request for an accelerated procedure so that these questions could be decided before February 26.dddddddddddd It was therefore natural that Prince Ali goes to the CAS (on Monday).Sky Sports News HQs chief news reporter Kaveh Solhekol, reporting from Zurich, said: Prince Ali has become more forthright in the last couple of weeks but, to be honest, there is not much chance of the election being suspended.Prince Ali and his lawyers do not think the election is going to free or fair, but a lot of people feel this is an act of desperation on his part.Al-Hussein, Sheikh Salman and Infantino are joined by Tokyo Sexwale and Jerome Champagne on the ballot.Sheikh Salman of Bahrain is considered the favourite having gained the support of both the Asian Football Confederation, of which he is president, and the Confederation of African Football.Infantino has received the backing of UEFA, including the English FA.Watch full coverage of the FIFA Presidential Election on February 26 on Sky Sports News HQ.
