The battle of the SEC’s undefeated teams should be worth a look
No. 6 Louisiana State (7-0) at No. 5 Auburn (7-0)

The mighty Southeastern Conference will be reduced to one undefeated team after these two talented but flawed teams meet. Louisiana State has looked shaky at times. Auburn’s ninth-ranked offense is offset by a defense that ranks No. 63. The pick: Auburn.
No. 14 Nebraska (5-1) at No. 17 Oklahoma State (6-0)
Saturday, 12:30 p.m. PDT, Channel 7
Nebraska’s national title hopes were likely dashed by last week’s home loss to Texas, leaving the Cornhuskers with the hope of wrecking another team’s hopes. Nebraska holds a 36-5-1 advantage in this series but has lost three of the last four games. The pick: Nebraska.
No. 3 Oklahoma (6-0) at No. 18 Missouri (6-0)
Saturday, 5 p.m. PDT, Channel 7
Oklahoma puts its No. 1 BCS ranking on the line against a program that has lost 19 of its last 20 games against the Sooners. In 2007, Missouri recovered from an early-season Oklahoma defeat to reach No. 1 in the BCS, only to lose to Oklahoma again in the Big 12 Conference title game. The pick: Oklahoma.
