OK Tries to Bounce Back

A loss last week knocked Oklahoma out of the national title picture. It may end up costing the Sooners a shot at the Big 12 championship as well.

Injuries to its top rusher and quarterback leave 10th-ranked Oklahoma in a precarious position heading into Saturday's Bedlam game in Norman, with Oklahoma State possibly having a chance to keep its archrival out of the conference title game.

Archrivals

Defending national champion Florida won't play in the SEC championship game or the BCS title game this season, but there's still a lot riding on the Gators' regular-season finale.

Heisman Trophy hopeful Tim Tebow looks to continue his run at the prestigious individual honor as the 12th-ranked Gators try to improve their standing for a potential BCS bowl bid when they close the regular season against archrival Florida State in Gainesville on Saturday.

Out of Their Hands

Georgia won't know whether it's going to play in the SEC championship game when it takes the field Saturday, and its own result won't have any effect on those chances.

With their destiny in the conference out of their control, the sixth-ranked Bulldogs (9-2, 6-2) try to focus on the task at hand as they visit Georgia Tech (7-4, 4-4) looking to defeat their area foe for the seventh straight year.

No Dixon For Ducks

Even with Dennis Dixon out for the season and a national championship dream dashed, Oregon still has plenty at stake in its final two regular season games.

The ninth-ranked Ducks look to bounce back from for a devastating loss and remain in the Pac-10 title chase when they visit battered UCLA on Saturday.

SEC on The Line For Vols

For Tennessee, the situation is simple: Win its regular season finale, earn a spot in the conference championship game.

The 19th-ranked Volunteers look to beat Kentucky for the 23rd straight time Saturday and clinch the SEC Eastern Division, which would put them back in the league title game for the first time in three years.
