With one more week to go in the College Football season, Missouri and West Virginia stand at the top of the BCS Rankings, with Ohio State close behind in third waiting for someone to trip up:
NEW YORK (AP) — Missouri and West Virginia have one more step to take before bumping into each other in New Orleans.
The Tigers and Mountaineers hold the top two spots in the Bowl Championship Series standings released Sunday with a week left in a topsy-turvy regular season.
The Tigers play Oklahoma (10-2) in the Big 12 championship game at San Antonio on Saturday and the Mountaineers face rival Pittsburgh (4-7) at home. If both win, it’ll be Missouri-West Virginia in a most unlikely the BCS championship game on Jan. 7 at the Superdome.
If either Missouri (11-1) or West Virginia (10-1) trip up next week, third-place Ohio State (11-1) is poised to take advantage and play in its second straight title game.
Missouri seems to face the tougher challenge against the Sooners; but with the way the season has gone this year, anything can happen. Nonetheless, something tells me that a lot of people in Columbus are going to be rooting for Oklahoma on Saturday.
