Pro Player Stadium will play host to the BCS National Championship. There are many similarities between the Trojans and Sooners, including Heisman Trophy winning quarterbacks. Both USC's Matt Leinart and Oklahoma's Jason White have thrown for more than 2,900 yards with only six interceptions.

Who: USC vs. Oklahoma
When: Jan. 4, 8:00 p.m. ET (ABC)
Where: Miami, FL
Both teams have running backs who have scored 15 touchdowns (USC's Reggie Bush and LenDale White and Oklahoma's Adrian Peterson). And few head coaches in college football are better at managing games and getting their players ready to play than Pete Carroll and Bob Stoops.
