The top ranked Missouri Tigers will try and win the Big 12 Championship and secure a spot in the BCS title game as they face #9 Oklahoma on Saturday in San Antonio. Missouri has not been ranked #1 since 1960.

"Obviously, it's a nice honor for our program," Missouri coach Gary Pinkel said. "But we've got so much to play for and so much preparation to put in for a great Oklahoma team that we really can't spend much time thinking about that." SBG Global reports that early college football betting has the public taking Oklahoma on the Road and expecting a lot of points.

Missouri will be trying to avoid a sixth straight loss to Oklahoma. Earlier this season the Sooners beat the Tigers 41-31. The Sooners will be trying to make it to the Fiesta Bowl for the second straight year. "It's another big challenge, just excited about it," said Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, "They're a good team, we recognize that, but we feel that we match up well with them obviously in all parts of the game. That makes it exciting." Missouri has won six straight since the loss to Oklahoma. The Tigers will also have running back Tony Temple in the lineup. He missed the game earlier this season when the Tigers lost. "Having Tony back is great," Pinkel said. "We never came out of that game saying we wished we had Tony Temple, we don't do that around here, and other players I thought went in and did a good job. But Tony, he can make a huge impact. There's no question he makes us a better team."
