MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Things sure do get wild in West Virginia whenever Oklahoma comes to town.In the first meeting of top 10 teams in the Big 12 this season, the eighth-ranked Sooners (8-2, 7-0 Big 12, No. 9 CFP) will try to keep their faint national playoff hopes going on Saturday night, along with the consolation prize of moving closer to a league title.Then theres No. 10 West Virginia, which badly wants its first league crown but needs some help along the way.The Mountaineers (8-1, 5-1, No. 14 CFP) also want to put to rest the notion that its not up to par with Oklahoma, which is the only Big 12 team that West Virginia hasnt beaten since joining the league in 2012.Ive been here a long time, 0-4 against Oklahoma, said West Virginia center Tyler Orlosky. Obviously you want to win this game and itll set you up for the rest of the season, finish out strong. And hopefully we do.West Virginia has the Big 12s stingiest defense, allowing 20.6 points per game. Chances out that goes out the window in a series that has seen two high-scoring games in Morgantown.In 2012, Oklahoma needed a last-second TD pass by Landry Jones to beat the Mountaineers 50-49 in a game that featured 1,440 yards of offense .Two years later, the teams combined for 1,013 yards, Oklahomas Samaje Perine ran for 242 yards and four scores , and the Sooners won 45-33.Oklahoma has a 14-game conference winning streak. Its last three road games have been decided by 10 points or less.Theres always a certain challenge and energy to playing on the road to a rowdy crowd, said Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops. The guys kind of unify, and bond, and its sort of you against all of them, and you can get a charge out of that.---Some other things to note when the Sooners and Mountaineers meet on what could be a cold, rainy night:TITLE FOCUS: Oklahoma or No. 13 Oklahoma State can win the Big 12 title if one of them wins their remaining games. The Sooners can wrap it up with a win Saturday coupled with an Oklahoma State loss at TCU. The Cowboys and Sooners meet Dec. 3. West Virginia takes the title if it wins its remaining three games and Oklahoma State loses once.QBS PERFORMING DIFFERENTLY: Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield has thrown 17 TDs with two interceptions in his last four games. West Virginias Skyler Howard has five interceptions in his last three but hopes to take advantage of a Sooners defense that is allowing an average of 297 yards.HONORING TAVON: Oklahoma wide receiver Dede Westbrook revealed this week that he wears No. 11 in honor of Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tavon Austin, who currently wears the same number. Austin starred at West Virginia. In 2012, he had a school-record 344 rushing yards and league-record 572 all-purpose yards against the Sooners, a performance that Westbrook enjoyed watching while attending junior college. That guy was awesome, Westbrook said.WVU RBS: Coach Dana Holgorsen said he wasnt sure of the status of West Virginia running backs Rushel Shell and Justin Crawford, who playing sparingly last week with injuries. That left freshman Kennedy McKoy to get the bulk of the carries in a 24-20 win over Texas . McKoy ran for 73 yards and West Virginia had a season-low 114 yards on the ground in struggling to close out the Longhorns after building a two-touchdown lead.PASS RUSHERS APPLY: If the Mountaineers want to get to Mayfield, theyd better get busy. West Virginia has just 17 sacks this season. Noble Nwachukwu, who is tied for the team lead with three, sat out the Texas game with a leg injury. Holgorsen said he expects Nwachukwu to be ready this week.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Wilmer Flores Diamondbacks Jersey .Y. - New Orleans forward Anthony Davis was chosen Friday to replace the injured Kobe Bryant in the NBA All-Star game that will be played in his home city.

A daring ride by apprentice Regan Bayliss has paved the way for imported galloper Pilote Dessai to take out the Ballarat Cup.Jumping from the third-widest barrier in Saturdays 2200m Listed race, Bayliss had Pilote Dessai in front soon after leaving the straight.It was a well-orchestrated plan on a track favouring horses racing on the speed but, more important, on the rails.Kicking clear on the home turn, Pilote Dessai ($16) was swishing his tail down the Ballarat straight before recording a two-length victory over Scherzoso ($19), with Manageress ($18) three-quarters of a length away in third.Bayliss said Pilote Dessai had finally lived up to the potential he had shown the stable in his trackwork.But more pleasing for Bayliss was to win the $300,000 race for Lindsay Park and the bosses, David and Ben Hayes and Tom Dabernig.Bayliss said he was confident of success a long way from home.He surprised me how easily he got to the front, Bayliss said.As soon as I crossed Rising Romance and we got around the back I steadied up the speed and let him find his rhythm.The way he relaxed underneath me I knew he woulld give a very good kick.dddddddddddd.He was strong though the line and showed the promise that he showed us in the stable.Dabernig said Pilote Dessai had been stirred up in the race-day stalls but put his best foot forward come race time.Piolte Dessai was purchased from France for Lindsay Park clients and made a huge impression with his debut win at Bendigo in March.He was expected to be a major spring player but was frustrating the stable following three second placings in five spring outings.We were coming in here today with no expectations, Dabernig said.Today he got into the race with a light weight and I think hes just been looking for ground.It was his first time at the trip and our hand was forced to go forward.We didnt expect him to lead but he got there quite easily.Dabernig said the 2500m Pakenham Cup on December 3 might be an option for Pilote Dessai now he has struck winning form, although the gelding could also be spelled for a shot at richer races next autumn.
