"Much of the SEC was facing nonconference opponents and getting lopsided result. The Oklahoma Sooners, however, entered the week with two conference games remaining. Saturday, the Sooners, ranked No. 8 in the CFP rankings, hosted the No. 22 Missouri Tigers. A week after upsetting Alabama, OU's defense was all over the Tigers in a 17-6 win. The Sooners forced two turnovers and sacked Mizzou QB Beau Pribula four times. In winning its fifth game against a ranked opponent this season, OU held Missouri running back Ahmad Hardy, FBS' leading rusher, to just 57 yards."
"One of several two-loss teams vying for at-large bids, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish don't have any ranked matchups remaining. The Irish, ranked No. 9, certainly aimed for style points in Week 13. In a 70-7 win over the Syracuse Orange, the Irish, thanks to two pick-sixes and a blocked kick return touchdown, scored 21 points before taking an offensive snap. Jeremiyah Love rushed for 171 yards and three touchdowns. The 70 points are the most Notre Dame has scored in a game in AP Poll era (since 1936)."
