Salt Lake City, UT - Normally, a November game between archrivals Utah and BYU with Mountain West championship implications would create a big enough stage in the Beehive State.
Columbus, OH - Despite struggling offensively, Ohio State has the chance to win a share of a fourth consecutive Big Ten title and earn an automatic BCS berth.
Atlanta, GA - Miami coach Randy Shannon is downplaying his team's spot in the Top 25. Perhaps because a glance at Georgia Tech's season shows how quickly a team can drop out of the poll.
Tucson, AZ - Five straight wins overall and six in a row in the Pac-10 have put Oregon State in the driver's seat for its first trip to the Rose Bowl since 1965.
Fort Worth, TX - TCU will have had 16 days off before finally concluding the regular season. The Horned Frogs better hope their top-ranked run defense hasn't gotten rusty.
