Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin will be joining his son Lane at Tennessee, sources told Chris Mortensen. Lane Kiffin is expected to be introduced as the next head coach of Tennessee on Monday.

Todd Reesing threw a touchdown pass to Kerry Meier with 27 seconds left to give Kansas a shocking 40-37 win over No. 13 Missouri on Saturday. Missouri will still play for the Big 12 title, but they'll do so coming off a loss against their border rivals. The Jayhawks led by 16 early in the third quarter, let Missouri back in it, then traded touchdowns in the fourth quarter.

Georgia Tech ended a seven-game losing streak against Georgia with a comeback victory on Saturday afternoon. Georgia led 28-12 at halftime, but Georgia Tech put up 26 points in the third quarter on their way to a 45-42 win. "Growing up, all I heard about was how great Georgia was," said Roddy Jones, a freshman running back. "It's great to be part of a team that ends the streak."

Tennessee and Lane Kiffin have reached a tentative agreement with the former Raiders coach to lead the Volunteers, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press on Friday. A formal announcement was expected early next week, said the person, who requested anonymity because the deal had not been finalized.

During an interview Tuesday on WMVP-AM 1000, ESPN's Lee Corso said Notre Dame is stuck with coach Charlie Weis because of his buyout. "The entire Catholic Church doesn't have enough money to pay him off at $2.5 million for another seven years or whatever it is," Corso said. "So forget about it. The guy is going to be the football coach and they're just going to have to live with what they've got." The common perception of Weis' buyout is not accurate. Multiple sources have told the Tribune the buyout, far smaller than believed, will not affect whether Notre Dame decides to fire Weis after Saturday's game at USC. One prominent alumnus called the amount "loose change."

Texas moved up to No. 2 in college football?s Bowl Championship Series standings while Oklahoma climbed two spots to third after Saturday?s rout of formerly second-ranked Texas Tech. Alabama, which didn?t play, remained No. 1. The teams that are first and second in the final BCS standings on Dec. 7 will play in the national championship game. The University of Florida remains fourth in the BCS rankings after beating the Citadel 70-19 to improve to 10-1, while Southern California (9-1), which was idle, moved up a spot to fifth.

The Florida Gators moved up to No. 2 slot in the AP Top 25 on Sunday, one spot behind top-ranked Alabama. If Florida can win its regular-season finale at Florida State, and Alabama can do the same against Auburn, the SEC will sport the first 1 vs. 2 matchup in a conference title game. Meanwhile, in the Big 12, Oklahoma moved up two spots to No. 3, barely slipping past No. 4 Texas after the Sooners' resounding 65-21 victory against Texas Tech on Saturday night. The Red Raiders tumbled five spots to No. 7 after their first loss of the season. Southern California moved up one spot to No. 5, and Penn State got a bump to No. 6.

Anthony Christodoulou, an engineer from USC, has devised a method to determine the Trojans' chances of playing in the BCS National Championship Game. If he gives Oklahoma a 65% chance over Oklahoma State, Texas Tech a 75% chance over Baylor, Texas a 75% chance over Texas A&M, Missouri a 33% chance of winning their conference championship, Florida a 75% chance over Florida State, Florida a 60% chance over Alabama, and USC also wins out. With a little math on that, the Trojans have a 30.1% chance of playing in the BCS National Championship Game.

Sam Bradford threw for 304 yards and four touchdowns, and DeMarco Murray and Chris Brown combined to run for five more scores as the fifth-ranked Oklahoma brought an unceremonious end to No. 2 Texas Tech?s run toward a perfect season in a 65-21 blowout Saturday night, as reported by the Associated Press.

Notre Dame football players were hit by snowballs from fans sitting in the student section during their loss to Syracuse on Saturday. "To throw snowballs at their own team, I didn't think that was a smart thing to do. I guess [they thought] it was funny," defensive tackle Pat Kuntz said after Syracuse upset the Irish 24-23. South Bend was hit with about 10 inches of snow Friday. While the field had been cleared before the game, there was still snow along the fringes and in some areas of the stands.
