ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates -- Although Max Verstappen is already being talked about as a future Formula One champion, the Dutch teenager is unsure how competitive he can be next season.The 19-year-old Red Bull driver has taken F1 by storm this season, becoming the youngest competitor to win a race. Two weeks ago, Verstappen produced one of the best drives in recent years with astonishingly audacious overtaking at the rain-drenched Brazilian Grand Prix.All eyes will be on Verstappen next year, when rule changes to make cars faster may shake up the title race -- potentially in his favor. But he is cautious as to whether Red Bull will be quick enough to break the total stranglehold Mercedes has enjoyed for the past three seasons.At the moment its a bit difficult to say what exactly what I want to achieve for next year because you dont know what the packages are, Verstappen said Thursday. Were all very positive about next year, but I think its important to just wait and see when the car gets to the track.Despite his young age, Verstappen already has seven podium finishes and drives with the assurance of a contender.When aged 18, he won the Spanish GP in May -- his first race for Red Bull after switching from Toro Rosso early on this season.Verstappen followed that up by becoming the youngest driver to start on the front row by qualifying in second place for the Belgian GP in August.His daring and flamboyant overtaking makes him noticed among fans and rivals alike.But his abrasive, aggressive style also puts him at odds with other drivers, notably Ferrari duo Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen.Verstappen has verbally clashed with both this year.During the Mexican GP, Vettel was furious that Verstappen had made an illegal move. Red Bull advised Verstappen -- but did not order him -- to yield position to Vettel as a show of sportsmanship.Verstappen ignored the call.Vettel cursed in his car radio and, after the checkered flag, drove up beside Verstappen and wagged his finger. Verstappen responded by shaking his fist and later calling the four-time world champion a very frustrated guy, shouting on the radio like a child.But after his performance in Brazil, the F1 paddock was united in talking about Verstappens driving skills.In Brazil he came back to the pits late in the race after misjudging which tires to use on the treacherously wet track.When he came back out on new tires, Verstappen was down in 16th place, yet he sliced through the field to finish third.We witnessed something very special, Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said. The way he drove was outstanding. It stands out to me like Ayrton Senna in Monaco and other great drives in history.High praise indeed, although the unflappable Verstappen -- as usual -- has taken it in his stride.I was definitely enjoying myself in Brazil, he said. But Im not sure if it has changed something for me personally in terms of my reputation.He credits his handling skills in wet conditions to his karting days as a junior and some key early tutoring from his father Jos Verstappen -- who drove in more than 100 F1 races during his career.He was helping me a lot, especially when I was six or seven years old, Verstappen said. He was even standing on the track showing me where to drive, trying to find different lines, and that definitely helped me a lot out there in Brazil.Mecole Hardman Super Bowl Jersey . - Levi Browns tenure at left tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers is over before it even began.

Khalen Saunders Super Bowl Jersey . -- Jimmie Johnson held off a teammate, passed a pair of Hall of Famers, and dominated once more at Dover.GRAPEVINE, Texas -- This is not as clear-cut as you might think.The 12 members of the College Football Playoff selection committee moved from their TV viewing room into Selection Central on Saturday night after the games ended to debate and vote on their top 25 teams in the country.What began as a ho-hum day turned into a wild night, as Penn States win over Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game will force the committee to truly weigh the value of a conference title. It certainly opened the door for debate, so heres a look at the case for and against the teams vying for a spot in the top four -- no Alabama or Clemson herein; they should be safe -- heading into the final rankings Sunday at noon ET during the College Football Playoff Selection Show on ESPN:Penn StateThe case for: The No. 7 Nittany Lions now own two tiebreakers over No. 2 Ohio State -- the head-to-head win and the conference title. Also in Penn States favor: the word unequivocal. The committees protocol states that in order for a team that didnt win a conference title to be in the top four, it has to unequivocally be one of the four best teams. How can there be no doubt that Ohio State is better than Penn State if the Buckeyes didnt win their game back in October?The case against: Selection committee chair Kirby Hocutt has said in recent weeks that the gap between No. 2 Ohio State and No. 7 Penn State is significant. If their résumés are not comparable, the committee doesnt have to refer to the tiebreakers. Penn State also has two losses, including one to No. 25 Pitt and a 39-point defeat to No. 5 Michigan.WashingtonThe case for:?No. 4 Washington turned in a dominant performance during a 41-10 win over No. 8 Colorado in the Pac-12 title game, showcasing its strong running game and defense on a day when Huskies quarrterback Jake Browning was stymied.ddddddddddddWashington now has a top-10 win on its résumé, to go along with victories against ranked opponents in Stanford, Utah and then-No. 23 Washington State. Washingtons only loss was to No. 11 USC.The case against: A nonconference strength of schedule that ranks No. 127 out of 128, with wins over Rutgers, Idaho and FCS foe Portland State -- teams that have combined for a 12-22 record. The committee has hammered home the importance of scheduling, but including one-loss Washington -- while punishing Big 12 champ Oklahoma for scheduling aggressively but losing to Houston and Ohio State -- would send the opposite message.Ohio StateThe case for: With the exception of undefeated Alabama, nobody has a better résumé in the country than Ohio State, which has three wins against top-10 teams. It now has a road win against the Big 12 champ, No. 9 Oklahoma, and the Big Ten runner-up, No. 6 Wisconsin.The case against: The Buckeyes lost the head-to-head game against Penn State, and they didnt even win their division, let alone the Big Ten title.MichiganThe case for: The Wolverines beat both teams that played for the Big Ten championship -- Penn State and Wisconsin -- along with Pac-12 runner-up Colorado, to tally three wins against top-10 teams. Hocutt said on Tuesday the separation between Michigan and Washington was so slim that the committee debated for about two hours over which team was better and some committee members really struggled with it.?The case against: Michigan played eight home games, and it lost the road game that mattered the most -- at Ohio State -- and a road game it should have won, at unranked Iowa.
