Chick-Fil-A Bowl: LSU vs Georgia Tech
15. Chick-Fil-A Bowl: LSU vs Georgia Tech
January 6, 2009
One year after winning a national championship, unranked LSU found renewed reason to hope for a return to glory. Charles Scott ran for three touchdowns, freshman quarterback Jordan Jefferson completed his first nine passes and LSU made big plays on special teams in a surprisingly easy 38-3 victory win over Georgia Tech in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. The Tigers have now won fourth straight bowl games and have scored 38-plus points in each game.
The Rose Bowl Game: Penn St vs USC
14. The Rose Bowl Game: Penn St vs USC
January 3, 2009
These teams are more evenly matched than most realize. Both played relatively easy schedules with similar opponent records. Both lost on the road to 8-4 teams. Both are ranked very close in every offensive and defensive team category. With that said, the key for both teams will be the play in the trenches - whoever dominates the line of scrimmage will win.
Missouri vs. Northwestern
13. Missouri vs. Northwestern
December 30, 2008
With seconds remaining on the clock, Missouri kicker Jeff Wolfert stepped up to a 44-yard field goal attempt to give the Tigers double-digit victories in consecutive seasons. Wolfert, one of the most prolific kickers in college football, watched the ball sail wide right, opening the door for the surprising Northwestern Wildcats. Overtime brought out the best and worst in both teams as Chase Daniel fought to overcome three interceptions to give his team the win. The Wildcats, looking for their first bowl win since 1949, turned to C.J. Bacher and a desperation heave into the end zone on 4th and goal.
Missouri vs. Oklahoma
12. Missouri vs. Oklahoma
December 9, 2008
In last season's Big 12 championship game, Oklahoma won a second straight conference title and spoiled Missouri's national title hopes. In this year's title game it was the No. 4 Sooners who tried to avoid an upset against the No. 20 Tigers and stay in the national championship hunt. Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford passed for 384 yards and two touchdowns, while Missouri star Jeremy Maclin had 183 all purpose yards and a TD.
Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State
11. Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State
December 1, 2008
Oklahoma and Oklahoma State met with more than an intense rivalry to play for, this year's Bedlam Series contributed heavily in determining the Big 12 South champion and perhaps a spot in the Bowl Championship Series title game. The teams combined for the most points in the history of the rivalry and combine for 1,009 yards.
Boston College vs Wake Forest
10. Boston College vs Wake Forest
November 23, 2008
Boston College Quarterback Chris Crane went down early vs Wake Forest and back-up Dominique Davis had to take the reins. It became a 5 minute drill with Davis leading the Eagles down the field down by 5. If they succeed it could mean one step further to the Atlantic Division title.
Maryland vs UNC
9. Maryland vs UNC
November 16, 2008
Maryland had won five straight over Top 25 teams and looked to junior quarterback Chris Turner and sophomore running back Darrel Scott to extend the streak. Winning wouldn't be easy for the Terrapins as ranked North Carolina brought one of its best teams in the history of the school's program to Byrd Stadium.
Texas vs. Texas Tech
8. Texas vs. Texas Tech
November 2, 2008
Texas Tech needed to go 28 yards in eight seconds to upset No. 1 Texas. Moments after dreaming it, Michael Crabtree made it a reality, delivering a victory and memory that will not fade.
Oklahoma State vs Texas
7. Oklahoma State vs Texas
October 27, 2008
Colt McCoy made rare mistakes. The Texas defense got pushed around and the Longhorns watched their big lead and momentum gradually disappear. Suddenly, the No. 1 team in the country looked vulnerable. Yet here they are, still unbeaten, and with still more tough games to play. McCoy passed for 391 yards and two touchdowns Saturday but the Longhorns defense needed to come up with two huge stands in a 28-24 win over No. 7 Oklahoma State after he threw a third-quarter interception and fumbled late in the fourth.
Oklahoma vs Kansas
6. Oklahoma vs Kansas
October 20, 2008
Sam Bradford passed for an Oklahoma-record 468 yards and had three touchdown passes to help the No. 4 Sooners bounce back from their first loss by beating No. 16 Kansas 45-31. Kansas quarterback Todd Reesing was able to keep the Jayhawks (5-2, 2-1 Big 12) in the game into the third quarter by dodging pressure but Oklahoma (6-1, 2-1 Big 12) proved to be too much to handle.
Oklahoma vs Texas
5. Oklahoma vs Texas
October 12, 2008
The Lone Star State is heating up as Texas an Oklahoma meet in Dallas for their annual Red River Rivalry. For the first time since 2004, both teams are ranked in the top 5 for this head to head meeting. The top ranked Sooners and No.5 Longhorns are both looking to remain undefeated as they meet for the 103rd time.
Auburn vs. Vanderbilt
4. Auburn vs. Vanderbilt
October 9, 2008
Auburn is trying to be patient with first-year offensive coordinator Tony Franklin. Building an offense that contributes to a successful team often takes a few games, or in Vanderbilt's case, seven years. Coming off another poor game on offense, the 13th-ranked Tigers face the surprising 19th-ranked Commodores in a Southeastern Conference. The Commodores have their first national ranking since 1984. Auburn has won 13 straight games against Vanderbilt, dating back to the 1955 Gator Bowl that the Commodores won 25-13. This will be the first time the Tigers have played Vanderbilt with the Commodores ranked.
USC vs. Oregon St.
3. USC vs. Oregon St.
August 18, 2009
USC begins its quest for a seventh straight conference crown, as the Trojans open its Pac-10 schedule with Oregon State. USC defeated the Beavers 24-3 last season, but in its last trip to Corvallis in 2006, the then-No. 3 Trojans were shocked 33-31, ending the program's 38-game regular-season winning streak.
Kansas vs. South Florida
2. Kansas vs. South Florida
August 13, 2009
A couple of teams with BCS dreams face off in Tampa when South Florida hosts Kansas. The spotlight will be on the quarterbacks: Kansas' Todd Reesing and USF's Matt Grothe. The Jayhawks won the only other matchup between the schools, 13-7 in 2006.
LSU vs. Auburn
1. LSU vs. Auburn
September 21, 2008
LSU may need to beat Auburn this week to keep alive its hopes of repeating as national champion. That means winning at Jordan-Hare Stadium -- something it hasn't done in almost exactly a decade. Ten years and one day after its last road victory in the series, No. 6 LSU travels to 10th-ranked Auburn in a showdown of SEC powerhouses. The rivalry between LSU (2-0, 0-0) and Auburn (3-0, 1-0) has been a study in protecting home field of late, as the home team has won each of the last eight matchups. That could spell bad news for LSU this week, as its last win at Auburn came Sept. 19, 1998.
