| 1 | Cal vs UCLA 10/20 | 10/20/2007 | 120 minutes | SD Format: ... | HD Format: ... | |
| No. 10 Ranked, California looks to bounce back from its first loss and help its chances of repeating as conference champion while UCLA tries to remain undefeated in Pac-10 play when the teams meet at the Rose Bowl. The Golden Bears (5-1, 2-1) won their first five games, including their first two in conference, en route to the No. 2 spot in the Oct. 7 AP poll - their highest ranking since they were No. 1 on Oct. 16, 1951. Their national championship hopes, however, took a big hit after last Saturday's 31-28 loss to Oregon State. | ||||||
| 2 | Auburn vs LSU 10/20 | 10/20/2007 | 123 minutes | SD Format: ... | HD Format: ... | |
| LSU and Auburn both saw their games come down to the wire last week, and should expect nothing different in this weeks matchup. With its national championship hopes in jeopardy following its first loss, fifth-ranked LSU hopes to avoid a big blow to its SEC title hopes in a matchup with No. 18 Auburn as these rivals continue a series which has been producing memorable finishes. LSU (6-1, 3-1) was a unanimous choice as the No. 1 team in the nation before losing 43-37 in three overtimes at Kentucky. | ||||||
| 3 | Ohio St vs Penn St 10/27 | 10/27/2007 | 122 minutes | SD Format: ... | HD Format: ... | |
| Ohio State has won a school-record 26 straight regular-season games since a 17-10 loss at Penn State on Oct. 8, 2005. The Buckeyes avenged that defeat with a 28-6 win over the Nittany Lions last Sept. 23 in Ohio Stadium, but this will be their first trip to Happy Valley since losing there. Penn State (6-2, 3-2) has won three straight games to once again crack the Top 25. Joe Paterno's club peaked at No. 10 a month ago before falling out of the rankings after back-to-back road losses to Michigan and Illinois. | ||||||
| 4 | South Florida vs Uconn 10/27 | 10/27/2007 | 123 minutes | SD Format: ... | HD Format: ... | |
| South Florida's surprising surge towards the top of the poll was halted with its first loss. The team looks to rebound on Saturday when it visits conference rival Connecticut. The Bulls (6-1, 1-1 Big East) dropped nine spots in the AP rankings to 11th after a 30-27 defeat to Rutgers on Oct. 18. They had never been in the Top 25 before this season and reaching No. 2 created talk about potentially playing for the national title in January | ||||||
| 5 | USC vs Oregon St 11/3 | 10/30/2007 | 133 minutes | SD Format: ... | HD Format: ... | |
| The #19 USC Trojans have to win their last four conference games to earn at least a share of their sixth straight league championship. Quarterback John David Booty returns to the starting lineup. USC will look to him to beat the Beavers; the same team that dealt the Trojans a shocking 33-31 loss last season. | ||||||
| 6 | Arizona St vs UCLA 11/10 | 11/10/2007 | 147 minutes | SD Format: ... | HD Format: ... | |
| Arizona State (8-1, 5-1 Pac-10) tries to bounce back after suffering its first loss of the season as it takes on UCLA(5-4, 4-2 Pac-10). ASU still has dreams of returning to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl but likely has to win out against UCLA, USC and Arizona. The Bruins have won four straight home meetings with Arizona State. | ||||||
| 7 | Kansas vs Oklahoma St 11/10 | 11/17/2007 | 146 minutes | SD Format: ... | HD Format: ... | |
| After being down for so long, No. 5 Kansas has had to prove itself over and over again this season to earn respect and make itself a factor in the national championship picture. Now the Jayhawks are so close to the top, the only thing left to prove is whether they can handle their new lofty status. Kansas gets a chance to answer that question against Oklahoma State. | ||||||
| 8 | Oregon vs Arizona 11/15 | 11/15/2007 | 140 minutes | SD Format: ... | HD Format: ... | |
| It's uncommon that an unranked opponent would be given such a chance against a #2, but this season has been riddled with David taking down Goliath. The Oregon Ducks have been making their championship bid behind the strong, Heisman worthy arm of Quarterback Dennis Dixon. Will the curse of the No. 2 take the form of an Arizona Wildcats team that has taken down ranked teams in November for the past 3 seasons? | ||||||
| 9 | Missouri vs Kansas 11/24 | 11/24/2007 | 147 minutes | SD Format: ... | HD Format: ... | |
| Kansas and Missouri first met on the football field in 1891 and have played 115 times since then. The rivalry has always been fierce. This time around, it's also important. Really important. The victor is the Big 12 North champion. A win the following week in the conference title game will likely send the team into the national championship game--an achievement neither Kansas nor Missouri has ever come close to accomplishing. | ||||||
| 10 | Oklahoma vs Missouri 12/1 | 12/1/2007 | 139 minutes | SD Format: ... | HD Format: ... | |
| Missouri (11-1, 7-1) has more than payback on its mind this time as the try to avoid a sixth straight loss to Oklahoma (10-2, 6-2), which beat Missouri 41-31 at home on Oct. 13. The top-ranked Tigers look to avenge their only loss of the season and secure a spot in the BCS title game with a win over No. 9 Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship game. | ||||||

| The Tournament of Roses chose USC (10-2) to battle Illinois (9-3) in the 2008 Rose Bowl.

The USC defense hopes to have the speed to contain Illinois junior quarterback Juice Williams, whose elusiveness confounded Ohio State. | ||||||
| 12 | Capital One Citrus Bowl: Michigan vs Florida | 1/1/2008 | 130 minutes | SD Format: ... | HD Format: ... | |
