Former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr is leaving the College Football Playoff selection committee for health reasons.Playoff executive director Bill Hancock announced Friday that Carr would be stepping down and not replaced. The committee will operate with 12 members this season as it did each of the last two when members resigned because of health problems and the difficulty of weekly travel for six weeks during the fall.Carr was preparing to begin the first year of a three-season term on the committee that selects the four teams to compete in the College Football Playoff. The 71-year-old said in a statement he regrets not being able to participate.This is a difficult decision because I have enjoyed my preparations and I have the greatest respect for the other committee members and the playoff itself, Carr said.He didnt give details of his health issues. Carr went 122-40 in 13 seasons as Michigan coach.The first College Football Playoff rankings will be released Nov. 1. The playoff field is set Dec. 4.The committee meets in North Texas to discuss and put together the rankings a day ahead of the weekly Tuesday release. Last season Pat Harden, at the time the athletic director at Southern California, stepped down the week before the committees first meeting. Former Mississippi quarterback Archie Manning left the committee during the 2014 season.Carr was one of four new members of the committee this season along with former Southern Mississippi coach Jeff Bower, former Central Michigan coach Herb Deromedi and Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens.

Fernando Alonso is sure there is more to come from McLaren after the opening day of practice for the Austrian Grand Prix.Alonso finished 11th in FP2, one place behind teammate Jenson Button, in a session disrupted by rain. The pecking order is still unclear going in to Saturday and Alonso is convinced the team will be more competitive come qualifying on Saturday.?Theres more to come from us because today was just a test day, Alonso said. There were new parts to try, some worked in a positive way, others didnt work that well, so when well put the best parts in the car on Saturday I think we can be quite competitive. Im quite happy with the way today went, all in all.Alonso was running a revised McLaren rear wing on Friday and he says the day was useful for aerodynamic tests, althouggh its data was restricted by the afternoon shower.ddddddddddddWe learned less than on a normal Friday because we had less track time, but it was the same for everyone. But we still did quite a few tests, with new aerodynamic parts on top of the normal tyre testing, so now it will be a matter of analysing all the work we did with both cars and choose the best solutions for tomorrow and Sunday.In the end we completed the entire program with the exception of the long run with the ultrasoft tyres, because of the time lost to the rain, so tomorrow morning well do a few laps with a heavy fuel load - Im sure other teams will do the same - to learn a bit more.
