Fast Forward

? Oregon (9-1) at Oregon State (9-1)
The Ducks have won one nail-biter after another, while the Beavers have steadily gotten stronger. A win won't put Oregon State in the Rose Bowl unless Washington loses to Washington State . Even if that doesn't happen, ruining the Ducks' unbeaten league record and knocking them out of Pasadena will be sweet.

? Florida (9-1) at Florida State (10-1)
A victory over fourth-ranked Florida would boost Florida State 's BCS rating and put it back ahead of Miami in the race for a berth in the national championship game. The Seminoles have better talent than the Gators, more of it and the nation's longest home winning streak: 34 games. Make it 35.

? South Carolina (7-3) at Clemson (8-2)
The cross-state rivals both come into Death Valley with two-game losing streaks. The Tigers, with two weeks to rest and recharged after their 54-7 loss at Florida State , will be sharper than the Gamecocks.

? Michigan (7-3) at Ohio State (8-2)
You say John Cooper can't beat the Wolverines? The Buckeyes have defeated Michigan two of the last three times the teams have met at Ohio Stadium . The Buckeyes have an edge in special teams, particularly in placekicking: Senior Dan Stultz has made 17 of 21 field goals this fall, including a last-second, 34-yard game-winning kick last Saturday at Illinois . Just what the Wolverines need—their third last-minute loss of the year.
