AMERICAN ATHLETIC CHAMPIONSH­IP

-

Temple (9-3) at No. 19 Navy (9-2) 9 a.m., Channel 7

This game offers the always popular irresistib­le force vs. immovable object. Navy’s running game is the force. The Midshipmen are second in the nation in rushing, averaging 342 yards a game. Temple puts up the third-rated defense, giving up an average of 273.4 yards. Navy has won 15 consecutiv­e games at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, tied with Houston for the nation’s longest home winning streak.

No. 10 Oklahoma State (9-2) at No. 9 Oklahoma (9-2) 9:30 a.m., Channel 11

This annual rivalry game, known as “Bedlam,” will determine the champion of the Big 12 Conference for the sixth time in nine seasons. The winner is headed to a major bowl game; the loser plays in the Alamo Bowl, possibly against USC. Neither of these two-loss teams has been defeated since September. Oklahoma State is coming off what was probably its best all-around game, a 31-6 win over Texas Christian two weeks ago.

9 a.m.: Kansas State at Texas Christian, FS1; Louisiana Tech at Western Kentucky, ESPN; Troy at Georgia Southern, ESPN2.
