Peppers has been named a first-team
All-America by Football News. Peppers,
a finalist for both the Nagurski and
Lombardi awards, has 58 tackles this
season, including 18 tackles for loss and
8.5 sacks. Peppers also was a first-team

Nebraska's and Oklahoma's
losses could lead to a
Gator-Hurricane national
championship contest.
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - Miami and Florida
moved closer to playing the biggest
game yet in their long, often bitter rival
ry. The Hurricanes and Gators settled
into first and second place, respectively,
in the Bowl Championship Series stand
ings released Monday.
And all indications are that if both
win the rest of their games, it’s on to the
national championship game in the
Rose Bowl on Jan. 3.
Miami (10-0) and Florida (9-1) have
met 50 times since 1938 - the series is
tied 25-all -but never with the nation
al title on the line for both teams. Last
year, Miami beat Florida 37-20 in the
Sugar Bowl just a few days after players
from each team duked it out in a
Bourbon Street brawl.
With Nebraska and Oklahoma losing
- the Huskers were first, the Sooners
third entering the Thanksgiving week
end - the latest BCS standings under
went major changes.
Texas (10-1) jumped to third place,
with Nebraska (11-1) fourth, Oregon
(9-1) fifth and Tennessee (9-1) sixth.
Miami, ranked No. 1 in the AP media
poll the past seven weeks, had 2.92
points in the BCS standings. Florida had
6.95 points and Texas was next at 8.77
points. The next
three teams were
within 1.39 points
of each other -
Nebraska at 10.48
points, Oregon at
10.87 and
Tennessee at 11.87.
The BCS rat
ings, which deter
mine who plays in
Pasadena, are
“If one falls, then Texas and
Tennessee are in the best
position, but it depends on who
else falls and how hard. ”

based on a formula that incorporates the
AP media and coaches’ polls, eight com
puters, strength of schedule, won-lost
record and bonus points for big wins.
The final BCS standings will be
released Dec. 9.
“Miami and Florida are in control; it’s
up to them,” said Jerry Palm, who oper
ates the unofficial collegebcs.com site.
“If one falls, then Texas and Tennessee
are in the best position, but it depends
on who else falls and how hard.”
Palm said Nebraska, despite its 62-36
loss to Colorado, and Oregon, which
plays Oregon State on Saturday, are still
in the title chase, “but would need a
series of upsets and then hope the com
puter works in their favor.”
Miami plays at Virginia Tech (8-2) on
Saturday, while Florida plays host to
Tennessee and, with a win, moves to the
SEC title game Dec. 8 against the win
ner of Saturday’s Aubum-LSU game.
The Hurricanes’ 2.92-point breakdown
was: 1 point for poll average, 1 point for
computer average, 1.12 for strength of
schedule, 0 for won-loss record and a .2
bonus point deduction for beating
14th-rated Washington 65-7 on Saturday.
The bonus award -new this season
- is based on a sliding scale from 1.5

points for beating a first-place team
down to .1 for a win against the
15th-place team. The bonus is awarded
after the other elements are calculated.
Florida (6.95) had 2 points for poll
average, 3.17 points for computer aver
age, .88 for strength of schedule, 1 for
won-loss record and a .1 point bonus
deduction for beating 15th-rated;
Georgia 24-10 on Oct. 27.
Texas (8.77), which plays Colorado '
for the Big 12 title on Saturday, had 3
points for poll average, 3.83 for com
puter average, 1.84 for strength of sched
ule, 1 for won-loss record and a .9 bonus
deduction for beating seventh-rated
Colorado (9-2) earlier this season, 41-7.
Illinois was eighth in the BCS ratings,
followed by Oklahoma, Stanford,
Maryland, BYU, Washington State,
Washington and Georgia.
For those looking for a most unusual
finish the season, Palm offers this: If
Oregon State beats Oregon, Texas loses,
Miami loses big, Florida and Tennessee
both lose, “it could end up Colorado
and Nebraska in the Rose Bowl.”
Michigan, Ohio State Accept Bids
COLUMBUS, Ohio - For the sec
ond consecutive year, Michigan is head
ed to the Citrus Bowl and Ohio State
will play in the Outback Bowl on New
Year’s Day.
Ohio State said on Monday that it
accepted an invitation to play in the
game in Tampa, Fla., where the
Buckeyes lost to South Carolina 24-7
last season. The opponent has not been
determined, but it likely would be a
team from the
Southeastern
Conference.
“It’s a wonder
ful bowl, and we
were extremely
well treated last
year and look for
ward to going
back,” said athletic
director Andy
Geiger.
No. 23 Ohio State (7-4, 5-3) beat
Michigan 26-20 Saturday to finish third
in the Big Ten behind the Wolverines (8-
3, 6-2), who said on Monday that they
would play in the Citrus Bowl in
Orlando on Jan. 1.
No. 8 Illinois (10-1, 7-1) won the Big
Ten championship and the conference’s
Bowl Championship Series berth.
Under the Big Ten’s bowl agreements,
the Citrus Bowl gets to choose first, fol
lowed by the Outback Bowl and then the
Alamo Bowl in San Antonio, Texas.
The Buckeyes’ opponent likely will
be a team from the Southeastern
Conference.
The Wolverines, 8-3 after a 26-20 loss
to Ohio State on Saturday, will meet a
Southeastern Conference team in the
New Year’s Day game in Orlando. Fla.
