Big 12 — No. 14 Oklahoma at No. 10 Oklahoma State: For the first time in the Big 12 era, the Bedlam rivalry likely will decide which team goes to the Dec. 4 conference title game as the South champ. Oklahoma State needs to break a seven-game losing streak in the series to clinch the South with a win; OU needs a victory and a tiebreaker (highest BCS ranking) to fall its way. Two of the nation’s top receivers will be lining up. OSU’s Justin Blackmon, right, leads the country in yards receiving (1,560), and OU’s Ryan Broyles is tops in catches (106). They are two of the three finalists for the Biletnikoff Award.
Mountain West —BYU at No. 23 Utah: This battle of rivals will decide second place in the league, as well as bowl lineup. They are 5-5 in the past 10 years, but Utah is seeking to avenge an OT loss in Provo in 2009. Utah’s 18 seniors are the winningest class in school history, and they’ll have the support of a sellout crowd — Utah has won three of the past four at Rice-Eccles Stadium — for this last game as conference rivals.
