-------------------------------


* The first big story is Oregon losing to Arizona and falling out of the National Championship picture. Arizona St moves into first place in the Pac-10 standings, although they host USC this upcoming weekend. If USC wins, Oregon will move back into first place, with tiebreaking wins over Arizona St and USC.

* The second big story is Oklahoma losing to Texas Tech. The Sooners had a chance to play for it all, but now find themselves tied with Texas for first place in the Big 12 South and needing a win over Oklahoma St in the finale just to make it to the Big 12 Championship game.

* Ohio St beat Michigan to win the Big Ten title. The Buckeyes are still holding out hope of making to the National Championship with a couple of upsets in the next two weeks.

* Boston College punched their ticket to the ACC Championship game with a win over Clemson. Even if the Eagles lose to Miami next week, they still have wins over Clemson and Wake Forest to guarantee them a spot in the conference title game. They'll play the winner of the upcoming Virginia - Virginia Tech game.

* Miami Ohio's shutout victory over Akron put them in the MAC Championship game against Central Michigan. The only points scored in that contest were by a fourth-quarter fumble recovery returned for a touchdown.

* Utah St beat New Mexico St for their first win of the season. FIU is the lone remaining winless team.

* Minnesota finished the year at 1-11, with the lone win in double-overtime over Miami Ohio in the second week of the season.
