    New York, NY (SportsNetwork. [b]Stitched Celtics Jerseys Online[/b] .com) - Mississippi State and Florida State remained the top teams in the latest Associated Press college football poll, but big wins for Baylor, Arizona State and Ohio State allowed those three teams to move up in the rankings. Mississippi State had no trouble in its rout of UT Martin on Saturday in advance of next weeks mammoth showdown with Alabama in Tuscaloosa, while Florida State rebounded from a tough first quarter to pull away from Virginia. The Bulldogs received 48 first-place votes -- three more than last week -- and a total of 1,488 points from a nationwide media panel to keep the top spot, while the Seminoles lost three No. votes and now have 12. Oregon jumped past Alabama into third after a win over Utah, while the Crimson Tide gutted out a victory at LSU and stayed fourth. TCU also moved up one spot into fifth after a blowout of Kansas State in Fort Worth. Baylors surprisingly easy win at Oklahoma moved the Bears four places from 10th to sixth and Arizona States victory over Notre Dame pushed the Sun Devils four spots from 11th to seventh. Ohio State vaulted five places from 13th to eighth after outscoring Michigan State in East Lansing. Auburn tumbled six spots from third to ninth after a 41-38 home loss to Texas A&M, a setback that will likely cost the Tigers their spot among the top four teams in the College Football Playoff rankings when they are announced Tuesday. Ole Miss rounds out this weeks top 10, while Nebraska starts the second 10 and is followed by Michigan State, Kansas State, UCLA, Notre Dame, Georgia, Arizona, Clemson, Duke and LSU. Michigan State dipped five places from seventh after its home loss and K-State dropped four spots from ninth after losing at TCU, while the Fighting Irish had the biggest drop within the poll, falling seven spots from eighth after its loss in Tempe. LSU tumbled six places from 14th after the overtime loss to Alabama. The last five teams ranked this week are Marshall, Wisconsin, Colorado State, Georgia Tech and Utah. The Utes dropped five spots after losing to Oregon. Colorado State and Georgia Tech are this weeks newcomers. The Rams are 9-1 with eight straight wins, while the Yellow Jackets are 8-2. Oklahoma and West Virginia dropped out of this weeks rankings. The Sooners were 16th and the Mountaineers were 24th. In addition to this weeks battle between Mississippi State and Alabama, three other ranked matchups are on the docket. Auburn will visit Georgia in the SEC, while first place in the Big Ten West is up for grabs when Nebraska travels to Wisconsin. Also, Georgia Tech hosts Clemson in the ACC.

NEW YORK -- Phil Jackson is back in New York, providing the Knicks stability, championship-building ideas and a link to the franchises best days. Now they need him to get some good players. Jackson was introduced Tuesday as team president of the Knicks, in the midst of another difficult season and with no easy path to a quick fix. But Jackson has won here before, done plenty of it since and says a couple of years off have left him ready to take on what might be his toughest challenge, turning this dysfunctional franchise into a champion again. "It would be a capstone on the remarkable career that Ive had," Jackson said. Jackson was a member of the Knicks title teams in 1970 and 1973, and they havent won since. He went on to win 11 championships with the Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Bulls. This will be his first time as an executive and the Knicks say he will be in charge of all basketball decisions. Madison Square Garden chairman James Dolan said he "willingly and gratefully" is stepping back to give Jackson the power to make the changes. "Phil has a vision for the Knicks that I know will put us on the path for success," Dolan said. Steve Mills will remain general manager. "I think that we have a teamwork situation here thats going to be really quite swift and capable of making some important changes as we move forward," Jackson said. The Knicks announced the hiring in the lobby of Madison Square Garden, with a giant "Welcome Home Phil" sign overhead and racks of his old No. 18 jersey on sale. He signed a five-year contract that reportedly will pay at least $12 million annually. After living in California for many years, Jackson said he would spend significant time in New York, starting with Wednesdays game against Indiana. Hes got big decisions coming up involving Carmelo Anthony and coach Mike Woodson. Its the second reorganization in six months for the Knicks, who fired GM Glen Grunwald days before the start of training camp. Mills replaced him even though he had no previous experience running the basketball side. The deal began to take shape at a holiday party hosted by a mutual friend of Jackson and Dolan. Though Jackson quickly declined interest in coaching, they agreed to keep talking. It will be tough for Jackson to makke big changes quickly in New York, where the Knicks face with the salary cap problems. [b]Authentic Red Auerbach Jersey[/b]. Amare Stoudemire, Tyson Chandler and Andrea Bargnani will all be in the final year of expensive contracts, making them difficult to unload. And they traded their first-round pick to Denver in 2011 to acquire Anthony. Jackson alluded to that, saying the Knicks "were going to have to go out and work the bushes for players this next year." But he has a vision for how he wants to do it, a change from the Knicks way of too frequently adding big-name players who dont fit any particular style. Jackson said he wont insist that the Knicks run the triangle offence that worked so well for him with Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, then Kobe Bryant and Shaquille ONeal. But he made it clear he believes in the systems principles of passing, movement and teamwork. But its not just Xs and Os that have doomed the Knicks during a mostly disastrous decade. Its the policies of Dolan, who has too often involved himself in basketball decisions. Jackson said he will be accessible and will focus on things such as "how players are treated" and "the kind of culture thats built." "This organization has suffered in the past few years from things I think have just been created, by press, by lack of continuity, by lack of solidarity." It wasnt like that when Jackson played in New York. Those teams not only thrived on the court but were well-known and well-liked around the city, players such as Willis Reed, Walt Frazier, Bill Bradley and Dave DeBusschere. "This is the best place to play basketball," Jackson said. Jackson is marrying the daughter of late Lakers owner Jerry Buss and said he will continue to spend time in California, where his children and grandchildren live. Jackson said he didnt know how much day-to-day work he would handle. After five knee and hip surgeries, Jackson is "not easily able to move around" on commercial airlines or scouting at small gyms. That ruled out coaching, the job that Knicks would have loved him to do. But the work needed from the front office might ultimately be more important. "Now to come back to where Ive started in basketball, its a great feeling," Jackson said.
