LAKE PLACID, N.Y. -- Steven Holcomb wins a World Cup bobsled gold medal on home ice nearly every year, and Jamie Gruebel Poser may be following that same path.It was a U.S. bobsled sweep at Mount Van Hoevenberg on Friday. Gruebel Poser and Aja Evans held off U.S. teammates Elana Meyers Taylor and Lolo Jones to win the womens race, and Holcomb teamed with Sam McGuffie to win the two-man race -- his sixth gold in the last seven international two-man races on his home track.Every single person out here wanted to win today, Holcomb said. To have a victory, to be on top, no matter where it is, its nice; just getting back to that mentality of winning again. It is a mentality. Putting together two runs. These cold conditions make the ice very hard and very slippery. Being the veteran on the tour, my experience paid off today.For Greubel Poser, it was the second straight year she drove to a World Cup win at Lake Placid.She and Evans finished their two runs on a frigid day in 1 minute, 52.02 seconds, taking advantage of super-hard, super-fast ice to set a track record along the way. Meyers Taylor and Jones were 0.14 seconds back in 1:52.16, while the Canadian team of Olympic champion Kaillie Humphries and Cynthia Appiah was third in 1:53.05.It just shows how strong Team USA is, Meyers Taylor said.Gruebel Poser and Evans broke the track record in their first heat, finishing in 55.81. Thats a significant shaving off the former mark, 56.28 set by Meyers Taylor and Cherrelle Garrett two years ago.We were so excited to see that time when we crossed the finish line, Greubel Poser said. I was screaming, we were just so excited to know that we went that fast. We literally gave everything we had at the top.And in the mens race, only U.S. and Canadian sleds reached the podium as well -- a rare World Cup bobsled day with nothing but North Americans in the top three spots.Holcomb and McGuffie won in 1:49.47. Canada took silver and bronze, with the team of World Cup points leader Justin Kripps and Jesse Lumsden finishing in 1:49.74, 0.01 ahead of Chris Spring and Lascelles Brown.The four-person race is Saturday, and Meyers Taylor is expected to be one of the drivers in the field -- pushed by a team that will include her husband, Nic Taylor. She would be competing against male drivers for the third time in World Cup competition, after doing so twice in the 2014-15 season and finishing 13th and 16th.

The fifth week of the college football season offers arguably the best lineup of games since the opening weekend. With so many top 10 teams facing each other, this week could provide some clues on which teams have legitimate College Football Playoff aspirations.BEST GAMENo. 3 Louisville at No. 5 Clemson.This weekend features two other matchups of top 10 teams as No. 7 Stanford visits No. 10 Washington on Friday night and No. 8 Wisconsin plays at No. 4 Michigan on Saturday.But the Atlantic Coast Conference showdown offers the most intrigue. The winner takes command of a loaded Atlantic Division that also features No. 12 Florida State, which already got blown out at Louisville two weeks ago.Louisville is averaging 63.5 points to lead all Football Bowl Subdivision programs.Clemson allows just 11 points per game and is tied for fifth nationally in scoring defense. The Tigers also have won 18 straight regular-season games and a school-record 18 straight home games.HEISMAN WATCHThat Louisville-Clemson showdown also could have major Heisman Trophy implications.Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson entered the season as one of the Heisman favorites, but his thunder has been stolen a bit by Louisville quarterback Lamar Jacksons sensational September. Watson could reassert himself as a Heisman front-runner by outplaying Jackson in a Clemson victory.I know (Watsons) the best player in the country, Clemson receiver Ray-Ray McCloud said. For him to go out there against someone who supposedly is the best player in the country as well is just going to get him to a whole other level.NUMBERS TO KNOW4 -- The number of wins for undefeated Wake Forest heading into Saturdays game at North Carolina State.

Greg Hudson is taking over the defense on an interim basis.Notre Dame opened the season ranked 10th and has a quarterback (DeShone Kizer) being mentioned as a potential No. 1 overall draft pick, but the Irish will struggle to finish above .500 if they dont fix their defense.Kelly and the team try to turn things around Saturday when Notre Dame faces Syracuses up-tempo attack at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.---Online: The APs college football page: http://collegfootball.ap.org ' ' '
