The Rundown: Week 8

So the BCS poll has come out. OU sits atop of the polls at #1, Oklahoma State sits at #14 and Arkansas sits at #23. Each team is needing a win this week to shore up their spot in the polls or surge ahead. Let's see what everyone will be facing on Saturday.

1 Oklahoma Sooners (6-0, 2-0 Big 12) at 11 Missouri Tigers(6-0, 2-0 Big 12) 7 p.m. on ABC
Two respected Big 12 programs, each with identical records, Oklahoma needs a win to help justify it's position at #1 in the BCS, Missouri needs a win to keep its march up the polls alive. Mizzou is going to be facing some challenges in the form of WR Ryan Broyles and running back extraordinaire DeMarco Murray. The Tiger's defense has had an outstanding year so far but this will be their toughest date. If history has shown us anything it is that the Tigers have struggled, immensely, against the Sooners. The Tigers have only won 1 out of their last 20 meetings with the Sooners. Mizzou coach Gary Pinkel is 0-6 when facing the Sooners. Will it be business as usual with another OU win, or will Mizzou avenge it's 2007 Big 12 Championship loss that cost them a shot at the National Championship? Did we mention ESPN's College Gameday will be setting up shop in Columbia, MO and it's Mizzou's homecoming as well?

14 Oklahoma State Cowboys(6-0, 2-0 Big 12) vs. 16 Nebraska Cornhuskers (5-1, 1-1 Big 12) 2:30 p.m. CT on ABC
The Huskers travel to Stillwater coming off an embarrassing home loss to unranked Texas. Oklahoma State needs a win in this game to keep their win streak running while the Huskers are out to climb back up the polls. Nebraska QB Taylor Martinez is scheduled to start after he was pulled last week after a poor performance. The Cowboys have won six straight games at home, however they have lost 20 of 25 games against top 25 opponents. If OSU's BrandonWeeden, Kendall Hunter and Justin Blackmon can outfox the blackshirts defense, OSU should be smooth sailing.

23 Arkansas Razorbacks (4-2, 1-2 SEC) vs. Ole Miss Rebels (3-3, 1-2 SEC) 11:30 a.m. CT on espn3.com
The Ole' Miss Admiral Ackbars Rebels travel to Fayetteville this Saturday. Arkansas is coming back off of 65-43 loss at Auburn last week, where QB and Heisman hopeful Ryan Mallett left the game with a concussion. Mississippi has gotten off to a slow start, losing to then 8 ranked Alabama last Saturday. With Mallett's return, the Rebel defense will have its hands full.

The TU Golden Hurricanes are off this week.
