(STATS) -- While the FBS is littered with conference title games, the FCS is nearly void of them.Sam Houston State and Central Arkansas are having one anyway.Its an unofficial, de facto Southland Conference championship game Saturday when the top-ranked Bearkats (10-0, 8-0) host the No. 11 Bears (9-1, 8-0). While the only league with a true title game is the SWAC, Southland schedule makers must be pinching themselves because its been 28 years since two teams with perfect conference records played for the championship in the final week.If were in the top five in the country, then Central Arkansas should be in the top five in the country because its like looking into a mirror, Sam Houston State coach K.C. Keeler said.Both teams are headed to the playoffs regardless of the result, but theres still plenty on the line -- besides just a conference crown.Keelers squad can make a big statement to the FCS selection committee after cruising through a weak schedule and never really being challenged. SHSU won every game by at least 13 points behind an unstoppable offense led by likely Walter Payton Award candidate Jeremiah Briscoe. The Bearkats average of 53.7 points is best in the country, about a touchdown better than second-place Ohio State, and so is their average of 592.4 total yards.A team with no discernible weaknesses, Central Arkansas coach Steve Campbell said. Very strong, and theyre at the top of the statistics nationally in many, many categories. Offensively, in about every category.Theyre not at the top, however, in the selection committee rankings. The Bearkats are only No. 5 on that list while the Bears are No. 7. The top eight seeds receive first-round byes, so its very possible the loser Saturday wont get one.A defeat would crush SHSUs hopes of earning one of the top two seeds, which receive home-field advantage through the semifinals. Thats a very real and important possibility for a Bearkats team which is 37-2 at home since the start of 2011.The Bears, on the other hand, have been road warriors. Theyve won nine straight away from home, including a 5-0 record this season which includes a win over FBS foe Arkansas State and a 35-0 thrashing of defending conference champion McNeese. In fact, Central Arkansas four road wins over FCS schools have all been by at least 20 points, so it wont be scared going into Bowers Stadium.While SHSU was the preseason favorite to win the conference, the Bears were picked to finish third, but it was hard to see this coming after the Bears lost in Week 2. However, that defeat was to a Samford team which now resides at No. 18 in the STATS FCS Top 25, and Central Arkansas has recovered to win eight in a row.The Bearkats havent faced anyone of that caliber. They didnt have to play the Southlands third-place team, Southeastern Louisiana, while the Bears whipped the Lions by 30 points on the road.Sam Houstons only non-conference wins were against Division II Panhandle State and sub-.500 Texas Southern. Central Arkansas, meanwhile, lost by only six to Samford and defeated an Arkansas State team which is tied for the Sun Belt Conference lead.For the most part, weve been very dominant, but its great to have a phenomenal opponent, Keeler said. We are playing one of the best teams in the country this weekend. So I think for both of us its a big ballgame, an opportunity to move up.Central Arkansas ranks among the FCS top 10 defensive teams, allowing 16.8 points and 300.7 yards per game. The Bears are No. 1 against the run -- in FCS or FBS -- at 67.8 yards per game.However, theyre not as good against the pass, and no offense passes better than the Briscoe-led Bearkats.No one in all of college football has more touchdown passes than Briscoes 45, and he has only seven interceptions in 377 attempts. The FCS top-rated passer has thrown for 3,665 yards -- good for third among quarterbacks in both subdivisions -- and hes been sacked just seven times.Tremendous poise in the pocket, he knows where he wants to go with the football, Campbell said. Hes got great awareness, he never gets rattled. Hes a very, very calming presence, and they play a fast-tempo offense. Hes really got a great handle on everything that theyre wanting to do. Outstanding football player.He could be a big problem for a Bears defense which just allowed 340 yards passing last week to Nicholls freshman Chase Fourcade and gave up 424 to Arkansas States Justice Hansen. Each of those signal-callers had only one other 300-yard game all season. The best quarterback theyve faced is Samfords Devlin Hodges -- the FCS eighth-rated passer -- and he picked apart the Bears for 282 yards and three touchdowns.Central Arkansas employs a balanced offense, throwing and rushing for more than 2,000 yards apiece, as junior quarterback Hayden Hildebrand has had a solid season with 15 touchdowns through the air and four on the ground.Keeping up with the Bearkats -- on their home field, no less -- is a different animal altogether. Then again, maybe the Bears defense is the one which can keep that scary offense in check.Defensively, they just fly to the ball, Keeler said. Steve has done a phenomenal job there. Theyve gotten better every single year. I think this is their best team, and this is one of best defenses Ive seen. Custom Soccer Jerseys Outlet . PETERSBURG, Fla.

"Martyn is a highly-respected coach with experience at the top levels in England," said Whitecaps FC head coach Carl Robinson. Custom Soccer Jerseys China . PETERSBURG, Fla. LONDON -- With Paris Saint-Germain being held to 2-2 by Arsenal, Edinson Cavani broke free and had only goalkeeper David Ospina to beat and score his second of the night.The PSG forward was far too nonchalant, shooting too early with a wayward long-range chip that was drifting off target before being easily gathered by Ospina.After one glaring miss, Cavani still had time to make amends but flicked a header wide and the Champions League game finished 2-2 on Wednesday.PSG seized control of Group A by moving ahead of Arsenal due to its superior head-to-head record after drawing 1-1 in Paris, but the lack of urgency illustrated by Cavani could prove costly in the round of 16.The Qatari-owned club is chasing its first European title, and coach Unai Emery was satisfied for now.This was a test and they met my expectations with the performance, Emery said.Top spot secures a game in the round of 16 against a group runner-up but whether that is an advantage will become clearer only after the knockout-phase draw. German champion Bayern Munich and Manchester City will finish in second place and holder Real Madrid is also currently a runner-up.You cannot really guess if its good or bad (being second), Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said.Group A is completely lopsided, with PSG and Arsenal locked on 11 points and assured of progressing, while Ludogorets and Basel, who drew 0-0, are both on two points.This was Arsenals first real European test of the season at home, after putting six past Ludogorets and easily overcoming Basel 2-0.Just like in Saturdays 1-1 draw at Manchester United, the Gunners were inert initially against the French champions and fell behind in the 18th minute.dddddddddddd Thiago Motta slipped the ball through to Blaise Matuidi, whose low cross was turned over the line by a sliding Cavani, who made it 16 goals in 16 games.It was a fiery end to a tepid first half. First there was a lifeline for Arsenal in stoppage time: Mesut Ozil put the ball through to Alexis Sanchez and Grzegorz Krychowiak slid in, missing the ball and tripping the Chilean. From the penalty spot, Olivier Giroud finally made a contribution to the game by scoring.Amid the celebrations, there was a feisty exchange between Aaron Ramsey and Cavani, who punched the Arsenal midfielder in the chest but escaped any sanction.Arsenal was reinvigorated by the equalizer and, after the crossbar kept out Lucas Mouras free kick in the 54th, took the lead in fortuitous circumstances.Carl Jenkinson crossed from the right and the ball pinged around the penalty area as Ramseys shot was blocked by Marquinhos and his clearance rebounded off Marco Verratti into the net.Arsenal returned the favor on the hour. Hatem Ben Arfas corner was met by Lucas header and Arsenal winger Alex Iwobi helped it over the line.My concern is that we were 2-1 up and allowed them to come back at us, Wenger said. Its difficult to understand how easy we gave away a goal at a corner. We lack something in our creativity. ' ' '
