Auburn and LSU played the last weekend of September and both coaches were under pressure. The ugly game had a bizarre ending. The next day LSU fired coach Les Miles, while Auburn and Gus Malzahn were feeling fortunate to be 2-2.Now its November and both SEC West Tigers are in the race not only for a conference championship, but perhaps a spot in the College Football Playoff.No. 15 LSU hosts No. 1 Alabama on Saturday for what amounts to an elimination game for the Tigers. Even with a victory, the Tigers would need help to win the West, an amazing prospect given the first month of the season.Snapping a five-game losing streak to the Crimson Tide would do wonders for interim coach Ed Orgeron as he tries to convince LSU to make him coach-for-good.No. 11 Auburn faces a much easier task Saturday with Vanderbilt at home. The Tigers have won five straight and if they get to the Iron Bowl without another loss, beating Alabama could earn them a trip to the SEC title game.How things have changed.The picks:THURSDAY NIGHTERSNo. 12 Oklahoma (minus 21) at Iowa StateThe Sooners are down to one scholarship tailback with Joe Mixon suspended and Samaje Perine injured ...

MADRID -- Lionel Messi and his father were sentenced to 21 months in prison for tax fraud by a Barcelona-based court on Wednesday, with both sentences likely to be suspended.The court found the Barcelona star and his father, Jorge Horacio Messi, each guilty of three counts of defrauding tax authorities of 4.1 million euros ($4.6 million).In Spain, sentences of less than two years for first offences are usually suspended, meaning neither man would go to jail. That decision, however, rests with the court.The court also fined Messi 2 million euros and his father 1.5 million euros.Messis management company said later on Wednesday that Messi and his father would appeal the sentences. Once lodged, the appeal will be heard in a higher court in Madrid.During the four-day trial last month, Messi and his father denied any wrongdoing. Both said the player was unaware of the tax issues that led to the fraud charges.But the court agreed with the state prosecutor that Messi and his father did have at least some knowledge of the corporate structures created to lower his tax burden in Spain.Tax inspectors testified that they found evidence that Messis father used companies in countries such as Uruguay, Switzerland and Belize to reduce tax on the players income from image rights. Messis father said he was told by a legal adviser that the practice was legal.Barcelona issued a statement to give all its support to Leo Messi and his father.The club said that iit considers that the player (.dddddddddddd is in no way criminally responsible with regards to the facts underlined in this case.FC Barcelona continues to be at the disposition of Leo Messi and his family to support him in whatever action he decides to take in defense of his honesty and his legal interests, it said.The 29-year-old Messi is Argentinas career-leading scorer with 55 goals in 113 international appearances. But he has lost three Copa America finals with Argentina -- in 2007, 2015 and 2016 -- and announced his international retirement after last months penalty shootout loss in the final to Chile.With Barcelona, in contrast, Messi has won four Champions League titles, three Club World Cup trophies and eight Spanish league titles. The forward has scored a Spanish league record of 312 goals.This is just one legal case involving Barcelonas players.Earlier this year, Javier Mascherano was handed a suspended one-year prison sentence for not paying all his taxes for 2011 and 2012.Adriano is also being investigated for alleged tax fraud, while Neymar has had to testify before a judge because of alleged irregularities involving his transfer to Barcelona. He and the club are accused of withholding the real amount of the transfer fee, in part to avoid paying the full amount of taxes.They have denied wrongdoing.
