Maybe this weekend should be called Letdown Saturday.

After the biggest weekend of the season led to surprise losses and season-defining wins, this week’s slate lacks that drama.

There are no storied rivalries such as Oklahoma-Texas or Miami-Florida State on the schedule — just those run-of-the-mill games that can derail championship seasons.

The top-ranked Sooners hope to avoid a letdown after a 65-13 victory in the Red River Shootout against Texas. Oklahoma plays host to No. 24 Missouri, which has to guard against being too satisfied with last week’s win against Nebraska.

“We always have our eyes on the Texas game. We circle it on our calendar,” Oklahoma fullback J.D. Runnels said. “But we aren’t satisfied, because we know we have a lot of games to go.”

Sooners coach Bob Stoops hasn’t had a problem charging up his team to play the week after Texas. His Oklahoma teams have outscored opponents 179-50 in four wins following games against the Longhorns.

“We’re on to the next game,” Stoops said. “We have our work cut out for us again.”

Miami should have a much easier task after winning, 22-14, last week at Florida State. The banged-up Hurricanes play host Saturday to lowly Temple as Miami tries to stay on track for a showdown with Virginia Tech Nov. 1.

Wisconsin is another team trying to stay sharp.

The 14th-ranked Badgers snapped Ohio State’s 19-game winning streak last week with a 17-10 win, but they need to beat No. 13 Purdue to remain in the Big Ten lead.

“I think you have to be very careful when you expend as much emotion and get involved in a game emotionally as our whole team did,” Wisconsin coach Barry Alvarez said. “I think you’re better off when you win a game like that rather than losing a heartbreaker. … But win or lose, the bottom line is you have to move on.”

Plenty of teams need to rebound: A record 11 ranked teams lost last week, including Florida State, which fell for the fourth straight year to Miami.

“Many a time, I have sat in here after a loss to Miami and not lost any more games,” coach Bobby Bowden said. “Many times. What will happen next, I don’t know. It’s not like we’ve got to roll over and die.”
