Today's Top 25 football games
Texas A&M (6-5) at No. 10 Texas (9-2)Time: Noon.
TV: Chs.9, 2
Line: Texas by 13
Between the lines: Focusing on football will be difficult for the Aggies after the death of freshman DL Brandon Fails. Complicating on-field matters further for A&M is the doubtful status of QB Reggie McNeal (ankle).
No. 17 LSU (8-3) at Arkansas (8-3)Time: 2:30 p.m.
TV: Chs.12, 7
Line: Arkansas by 5
Between the lines: The winner earns a date with Georgia in the SEC championship game next week. Tigers coach Nick Saban isn't saying whether he'll bring QB Marcus Randall off the bench again. He performed well in that capacity last week, leading a comeback win against Ole Miss.
No. 15 Colorado (8-3) at Nebraska (7-5)Time: 3:30 p.m.
TV: Chs.9, 2
Line: Colorado by 1
Between the lines: The Cornhuskers can't spoil Colorado's trip to the Big 12 title game this time, but they can salvage a bit of their own season. Buffaloes RB Chris Brown, who had a huge outing in last year's 62-36 drubbing of Nebraska, is day-to-day with a bruised sternum.
