Pete Carrol eyes Rose Bowl

NY TIMES NEWS SERVICE , LOS ANGELES

No. 18 Miami (6-2) at

No. 10 Virginia (7-1)

After back-to-back losses, all that is left for Miami is a chance at the ACC title. In order to do that, the Hurricanes must win their last three games and the first step will be a tough road game in Charlottesville. Miami's defense looked suspect in those two losses and Virginia's offense is ranked first in the conference. The Cavaliers' tailbacks may give Miami trouble.

No. 21 Boston College (6-2) at

No. 13 W Virginia (8-1)

With a victory over the Eagles, West Virginia would clinch at least a share of the Big East title and have the inside track for the conference's spot in a BCS Bowl game. Should Boston College win it could take the conference if it wins its last two games against Temple and Syracuse and West Virginia does not finish five or more spots ahead of it in the BCS rankings.

No. 4 Wisconsin (9-0) at

Michigan St. (4-5)

The Badgers are still unbeaten and a big reason why has been the emergence of the passing attack. Wisconsin has traditionally been a run first team, but the recent play of quarterback John Stocco and receiver Brandon Williams have made them an even more dangerous team. Michigan State blew fourth-quarter leads against Michigan and Ohio State over the last two weeks, and this week is without starting quarterback Drew Stanton.
