Oklahoma and Oklahoma State will end the regular season with Bedlam for the Big 12 title. The Sooners already won their other big rivalry game this year.Each October at the State Fair of Texas, Oklahoma plays Texas in the Red River Showdown. The crowd is split evenly at midfield, with fans clad in crimson and burnt orange on opposite ends of the historic Cotton Bowl Stadium.The few real rivalry games in the 20-year-old Big 12 carry over from the old Big Eight and Southwest conferences.Bedlam will have Big 12 title implications for the fourth time in six years since the league went to 10 teams without divisions.When the Big 12 reinstates its title game next season, the top two teams in the overall standings will play for the championship. If that was the case this year or last year, the Sooners and Cowboys would have played consecutive games against each other both times.A look at some Big 12 rivalries:OKLAHOMA-OKLAHOMA STATESeries began: 1904.Series record: Oklahoma leads 85-18-7.Trophy: Bedlam Bell.Why its a big deal: Its a more than century-old intrastate rivalry that incorporates not only football, but every sport the two schools play against each other. Despite the lopsided advantage in football by Oklahoma, many of the recent games have had a direct impact on who wins the Big 12 title.Best game: In 2012, Oklahoma kept its Big 12 title hopes alive with a 51-48 overtime victory after never leading in regulation and wiping out double-digit deficits in both halves. The Sooners tied the game on Blake Bells fourth-down 4-yard keeper with 4 seconds left in regulation.This year: The winner Dec. 3 in Norman is the conference champ. Seventh-ranked Oklahoma is going for its 10th Big 12 title, while No. 10 Oklahoma State has won only one.KANSAS-KANSAS STATESeries began: 1902.Series record: Disputed due to a forfeit by the Jayhawks in 1980. Kansas believes it leads 65-43-5 while Kansas State says it is 64-44-5.Trophy: Governors Cup.Why its a big deal: The Sunflower Showdown is one of six series in the nation that has been played continuously for at least 100 years. The game usually has special meaning because both schools recruit in-state talent -- nearly 100 players from Kansas dot the rosters of the two teams.Best game: What should have been the best game occurred in 1995, when the Jayhawks were ranked sixth and the up-and-coming Wildcats were No. 14. But as has happened so often in the series, the game turned into a rout. Kansas State won 41-7.This year: Kansas State coach Bill Snyder likes nothing more than to beat up Kansas, and doing so Saturday would give him career win No. 200. The Jayhawks upset Texas last weekend for coach David Beatys first Big 12 win, but havent won back-to-back games since 2011.OKLAHOMA-TEXASSeries began: 1900.Series record: Texas leads 61-45-5.Trophy: The Golden Hat.Why its a big deal: The Red River Showdown, that moniker a nod to the river that separates the two states, is played about a three-hour drive from each campus in the shadow of a Texas-sized Ferris wheel. It has been played in Dallas every year since 1929. Theres the real Texas longhorn named Bevo and the horse-drawn Sooner Schooner wagon.Best game: The 1963 game matched the nations top two teams. The Sooners were coming off a win at top-ranked USC to take over the No. 1 ranking, and the Longhorns were ranked second. Texas won 28-7 and went on to its first national championship.This year: Dede Westbrook set a single-game Oklahoma record with 232 yards receiving and Samaje Perine ran for 214 yards as Oklahoma won 45-40 in the highest-scoring game in the history of the rivalry.BAYLOR-TCUSeries began: 1899.Series record: TCU leads 53-52-7.Trophy: None.Why its a big deal: Referred as Revivalry by some, the game matches the Big 12s private Christian schools that are about 100 miles apart. They were reunited as conference rivals when TCU joined the Big 12 in 2012. (They were in the Southwest Conference together from 1923-96). The longest-played series for both teams dates back to a scoreless tie in 1899 when both schools were in Waco.Best game: In a matchup of the Big 12s only remaining undefeated teams in 2014, Baylor overcame a 21-point deficit in the final 11 minutes to win 61-58 on a game-ending field goal. That was TCUs only loss that season. The Horned Frogs and Bears finished as Big 12 co-champions, both at 11-1 overall, and were the first two teams left out of the initial College Football Playoff.This year: Kyle Hicks ran for 192 yards and five TDs as TCU won 62-22 on Nov. 5, handing Baylor its worst home loss since 2005.---AP Sports Writer Dave Skretta contributed to this report.---More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Slip On Femme Pas Cher Noir .

Match factsSunday, 27 November Start time 0930 local (0730 GMT)Big pictureAnd so to the tri-series final, where a Sri Lanka squad brimming with promise, but light on experience, will meet a Zimbabwe side who have managed to rise to their feet after a rickety start to the series. Zimbabwe are still the underdogs, but the gulf is not so big that they cannot leap across it if they play to potential. They have the advantage in international experience, and this is their home turf.Sri Lanka crumbled against West Indies pace and bounce in Harare, but they will remember their domination of the hosts in the series opener. Their batting clicked in dramatic fashion against West Indies on Wednesday, before their bowlers weathered Evin Lewis bold 148 to secure a one-run win. Despite their relative lack of experience, Sri Lanka appear to have depth in all areas, and they will be very difficult to beat.Six years ago, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe met in a tri-series final at the Harare Sports Club. A handful of veterans from that series are part of the current squads: Hamilton Masakadza, Elton Chigumbura and Graeme Cremer for Zimbabwe, and Upul Tharanga and Nuwan Kulasekara for Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka had entered that tournament without four of their senior-most players (and titans all of them: Kumar Sangakkara, Muttiah Muralitharan, Mahela Jayawardene, Sanath Jayasuriya) but that didnt stop them from lifting the title with a nine-wicket thumping of Zimbabwe in the final. As he leads a side similarly shorn of its seniors, Upul Tharanga will be hoping that history repeats itself.Zimbabwe have seen almost all possible results in this tri-series - losing their first match, fighting to a tie in their second, having their third rained off, and then securing a narrow five-run Duckworth-Lewis win. An outright win in the final would complete the flush, and give all of Zimbabwe something to smile about.Form guideZimbabwe WTLLL (Last five completed matches, most recent first)Sri Lanka WLWLLIn the spotlightZimbabwe captain Graeme Cremer has not had the best series with either bat or ball - he has only taken one wicket, and scored 40 runs from three innings. Yet, tactically, Cremer has excelled of late, marshalling Zimbabwes last-gasp tie against West Indies, and then deciding, along with his coach, to open the bowling with Tendai Chisoro and Sikandar Raza on Friday. That move paid off, and with Cremer then bringing himself and Sean Williams on, Zimbabwe were able to tie West Indies down and sprint through their overs, ultimately helping secure their win. The final provides another opportunity to expand his experience and aptitude as a captain.Upul Tharanga, Sri Lankas captain, is facing different sorts of pressures to his opposite number. For starters, his job is only temporary and he is only keeping the seat warm until Angelo Mathews returns. With one of Sri Lankas matches rained off, and another won by eight wickets, he has only batted twice. With a big tour to South Africa coming up, hhe will want to leave Zimbabwe with more than just one pretty cameo to show for his time here.dddddddddddd The tri-series trophy is the first prize, and a solid innings would be his personal cherry on top of that.Team newsBarring a last-minute injury, there is no pressing reason for Zimbabwe to change an XI that has variety and plenty of experience.Zimbabwe (possible): 1 Chamu Chibhabha, 2 Brian Chari, 3 Hamilton Masakadza, 4 Craig Ervine, 5 Sikandar Raza, 6 Sean Williams, 7 PJ Moor (wk), 8 Graeme Cremer (c), 9 Donald Tiripano, 10 Tendai Chisoro, 11 Chris Mpofu.Sri Lanka have tinkered with their line-up from match to match, though the top six has been quite settled. Thats likely to stay the same, while their allrounders provide them with medium pace and spin options to accompany the new-ball bowlers. Yet, given the conditions, Sri Lanka might want to bring in a specialist spinner on Sunday to take full advantage.Sri Lanka (possible): 1 Dhanjaya de Silva, 2 Kusal Perera, 3 Niroshan Dickwella (wk), 4 Kusal Mendis, 5 Upul Tharanga (c), 6 Asela Gunaratne, 7 Shehan Jayasuriya, 8 Sachith Pathirana, 9 Nuwan Kulasekara, 10 Jeffrey Vandersay/Nuwan Pradeep, 11 Suranga Lakmal.Pitch and conditionsThe drizzle that was around almost all day on Friday turned into heavy rain overnight, and with several passing showers over the last week, Queens Sports Club has been soaked. That, along with the three completed matches played here over the last week, means that the track being used is likely to grip, play a little on the slow side and possibly bring spinners to the fore. The threat of bad weather will also make the toss important, with rain more likely in the afternoon.Stats and triviaHamilton Masakadza is the only batsman to have scored more than 1,000 ODI runs at Queens Sports Club. He passed that landmark during his innings on Friday, and now has 1,029 from 31 innings.This is the fifth tri-series to be hosted in Zimbabwe, the second time they have reached a tri-series final, and the first time a final has been hosted in Bulawayo. Zimbabwe have never won a tri-series at home.Kusal Mendis has hit the most sixes in this tri-series - six. He has scored his runs at a strike rate of 126.43.Zimbabwes left-arm spinners have been hard to put away this series. Tendai Chisoro has bowled 16 overs at an economy rate of 4.06, while Sean Williams has bowled 17 at 4.11.QuotesThe last few weeks have been really good for us, and if we can continue that form, we can win the final. But, still, it is not going to be easy. We will have to do all the basic things quite correctly.Sri Lanka captain Upul Tharanga hopes his side can do the simple things well.We are very confident, the guys are up for it, and we want to take the momentum from the West Indies game into the final.Graeme Cremers Zimbabwe have momentum on their side after a couple of fighting performances.
