Rohde: OU's rout, Iowa's upset re-open title race
COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Less than a minute remained in the third quarter Saturday when administrative coordinator Matt McMillen walked up to Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops and whispered some good news.

Iowa 24, Penn State 23.
The Sooners led Texas A&M 66-21 at the time, which is the only reason McMillen dared approach Stoops with the game in progress.
“We were pretty far ahead, so he didn’t think it would distract me,” a smiling Stoops admitted after his team scored more points than any visiting team at Kyle Field in a 66-28 romp.
With Iowa’s victory, Stoops’ alma mater helped re-open the national championship race.
Bye-bye, Big Ten.
The SEC and Big 12 appear to be on a collision course for the national championship game in Miami with five teams in the mix — top-ranked Alabama, Texas Tech, Texas, OU and Florida.
