No. 11 Oklahoma State at Oklahoma, 12:30 p.m., Comcast SportsNet; Florida State at No. 1 Florida, 3:30 p.m., WUSA (Channel 9), WJZ (Channel 13); No. 19 Miami at South Florida, 3:30 p.m., ESPN; Arkansas at No. 17 Louisiana State, 7 p.m., ESPN.
Oklahoma will be in somewhat of an unfamiliar position Saturday when the Sooners take on Oklahoma State. For just the third time in the history of the Bedlam rivalry, the Cowboys are ranked and Oklahoma is not. With a win over the Sooners, Oklahoma State will close out its regular season in prime position to earn one of the BCS's four at-large bids.
If Saturday marks Florida State Coach Bobby Bowden's last game, he couldn't make a more dramatic exit than by ruining the national title hopes of undefeated and top-ranked Florida. The Seminoles have the offense to keep up with the Gators; whether Florida State's defense can get a few key stops remains highly in doubt.
According to the BCS, Miami and Louisiana State still have a shot at earning an at-large bid even though both teams have three losses. Miami will play South Florida for just the second time ever, and with a win, the Hurricanes would claim their first nine-win season since 2005. LSU hosts Arkansas, which overcame a 16-point second-half deficit last season to beat the Tigers.
