TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher is as anxious as everyone else to see if scheduling one of the Seminoles toughest opponents to start the season will pay dividends.Fourth-ranked Florida State has a history of opening up against Power Five opponents -- including Miami and Clemson -- but that was before the College Football Playoff. The Sept. 5 game in Orlando against No. 11 Mississippi marks the fourth time since 2004 that the Seminoles have opened with a ranked opponent.I think you hope so. But also you are taking a huge risk, Fisher said on Monday about facing a Top 25 team to start the season. It will be anxious to see now that teams are doing that, how much they reward the teams that do play these kind of schedules.This game is in the middle of a stretch in which Florida State will open the season with a neutral-site game against a Power Five team. Two years ago, Florida State defeated Oklahoma State 37-31 in Arlington, Texas. Next season it faces Alabama in Atlanta. This year also marks the sixth time since 2005 the Seminoles have played on Labor Day.As the College Football Playoff begins its third season, Fisher is like many coaches who wonder how a loss might factor into the committees thinking in determining the four-team field. Fisher said though no one would know the true effect until a two-loss team makes the field, which may not happen anytime soon.I think at the end of the day when scheduling is concerned, it should be what gets me to the playoffs which is the National Championship game, Fisher said. Youve got to win your conference schedule, those things, but how you schedule outside, to me, is the key.The Mississippi game also begins a challenging stretch for the Seminoles, who could face four ranked teams in their first six contests -- Sept. 17 at No. 19 Louisville, Oct. 1 against No. 20 North Carolina and Oct. 8 at Miami, which could be ranked. The game that could have the greatest playoff impact for Florida State will be Oct. 29 when the Seminoles host Clemson.A win for Mississippi against Florida State could also have championship implications for the Rebels.Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said that a win would give his program further confidence and show that things remain on the right track.I think with the September we have, we dont need to waste much time jumping into battles, he said. We are going to have some really tough challenges in that month. You hope you stay healthy and you hope you learn from the last game, win or lose, and are able to improve through the course of this slate of game.As preparations ramp up for the Rebels, Fisher said he was pleased with how his team came out of preseason camp and how physical they were in practice. Fisher also noted that redshirt freshman Deondre Francois has settled in to the starting job at quarterback. Sean Maguire, who had surgery to place a screw in his broken right foot two weeks ago, has returned to practice but his status is questionable.The only other notable injury to a starter is center Alec Eberle, who continues to be evaluated for a concussion.Monday also marked the release of the first depth chart of the season. The only surprises were that freshmen Ricky Aguayo and Logan Tyler will split the kicking duties while Rick Leonard is listed as the starting right tackle. Leonard was a defensive end last season before switching to the offensive line in the spring.I feel comfortable right now. But never comfortable enough, Fisher said. As a coach, were always Debbie Downer now. Im going to tell you. We see everything that can go wrong. I still think were a work in progress as always. I think all teams are at this stage. Weve done some really nice things.---AP Sports Writer David Brandt in Oxford, Mississippi, contributed to this report.---Follow Joe Reedy on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/joereedy and the APs college football site at http://collegefootball.ap.org Martin Perez Jersey . -- James Young couldnt wait to apply those tweaks to his jump shot, and the first one he made against UT Arlington told him it could be a good night.

Delino DeShields Jersey . -- Vincent Lecavalier got everything but the desired result in his return to Tampa Bay. The Columbus Blue Jackets have secured a key part of their future, signing defenseman Seth Jones to a six-year contract Wednesday.A source told ESPN.com the deal is worth $5.4 million on average per season.The timing was key. Jones would have been a restricted free agent on July 1, and there were rumblings of a potential offer sheet finding its way to him.Acquiring Seth Jones was very important to our organization, and reaching a long-term agreement with him to remain a Blue Jacket was a priority, so we are extremely excited about having done so today, Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said. At 21, Seth is just beginning to tap into his potential as a player. He has everything you look for in a defenseman and is going to be a very importantt player and leader on our team for many years.ddddddddddddones was acquired from the Nashville Predators midway through this past season in a stunner of a trade in exchange for No. 1 center Ryan Johansen. Jones was the No. 4 pick of the 2013 NHL draft. He had 31 points (3-28) in 81 games overall this past season.After signing the deal with Jones, the Blue Jackets bought out the final two years of defenseman Fedor Tyutins contract to give themselves some cap space.The 32-year-old Tyutin, acquired in a trade with the New York Rangers in July 2008, ranked second on the Blue Jackets all-time games-played list behind Rick Nash.
