Now it's up to voters and the computers.
Sam Bradford threw for 370 yards and four touchdowns, and No. 3 Oklahoma based its case for a BCS bump on its high-powered offence, outscoring No. 11 Oklahoma State 61-41 last night in the highest-scoring Bedlam rivalry game in the century-old series.
Needing to make up a minuscule eight-thousandths of a point to second-place Texas in the Bowl Championship Series standings to earn a spot in next week's Big 12 championship game, the Sooners (11-1, 7-1) relied on the Heisman-calibre arm of Bradford.
He completed 30 of 44 passes and also scored on a 1-yard touchdown run, leading Oklahoma to its fourth straight 60-point game.
The Sooners' defence, which had been improving and made a statement in last week's 65-21 rout of then-No. 2 Texas Tech, had few answers for quarterback Zac Robinson and the Cowboys – but it was enough.
Robinson threw for 254 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another score, but never could guide Cowboys (9-3, 5-3) into the lead after halftime.
TIDE ROLLS ON: Already No. 1 in the nation, Alabama emphatically reclaimed the top spot in the state.
Glen Coffee rushed for 144 yards and a touchdown and Nick Saban's Crimson Tide snapped a six-year Iron Bowl losing streak with a 36-0 win over bitter rival Auburn yesterday, the biggest margin in the series in 46 years.
The dominant win set the stage for Alabama (12-0, 8-0 Southeastern Conference) to face No. 2 Florida in the league championship game with a berth in the BCS national title game on the line.
GATORS ROMP: Tim Tebow threw three touchdown passes, ran for 80 yards and another score, and the Gators thumped No. 23 Florida State 45-15 in sloppy conditions.
Florida (11-1) extended its winning streak to eight games and continued its dominance in the intrastate rivalry.
The Gators have won five in a row against Bobby Bowden's team.
Florida scored on five of its first seven possessions, held the Seminoles (8-4) without a touchdown for the first 2 1/2 quarters and again proved that the gap between the two programs is as wide as ever.
