INDIANAPOLIS -- Paul Chryst and James Franklin left the outside world behind Friday.As college football pundits debated whether two Big Ten teams should make the four-team playoff, the two coaches vying for a Big Ten championship Saturday night trained their attention on something less nebulous: Winning one more game.For No. 6 Wisconsin and No. 8 Penn State, its not the selection committee that matters right now. Its taking home the trophy and winning the title.The only thing that exists for us is Wisconsin and the Big Ten championship game, said Franklin, the Penn State coach. Im not going to sit here and make a case for us. Our whole focus will be on Wisconsin and getting ready for this game.That may sound good in the confines of a locker room or in a stadium decked out in cardinal and blue. Or at least until Sunday afternoon, when the playoff choices become final.But even inside Lucas Oil Stadium, its hard to move beyond the resumes of these teams.Wisconsin (10-2, No. 6 CFP) earned its fourth division crown in six years with six straight victories and by posting a 3-2 mark against top-10 teams. The only stumbles were a seven-point loss at No. 2 Michigan and an overtime loss to No. 2 Ohio State.I think one quality of this team that Ive appreciated a ton this year is their ability to make the most of the moment, Chryst said of his Badgers. Theyve done a good job of that. So I dont spend any time thinking about what youre asking about (the playoffs). Its not a big deal right now. Wed be doing this game and this team a real disservice if we didnt put all of our energy into it.Penn State (10-2, No. 7) is the surprise newcomer to championship weekend.It got here by winning eight straight since a 39-point drubbing at the hands of Michigan in late September. And while they only played one ranked team during that stretch, they did hand the Buckeyes their only loss of the season.Franklin declined several times to explain why his own team deserved to play for the national championship, though he did imply the Nittany Lions may have won the nations toughest division -- the Big Ten East.Hed just rather let the conference title make the case for him.Im not sure about resumes, what resumes have to do with the Big Ten championship game, Franklin said. I think to play for a Big Ten championship is a tremendous honor on its own and then to find a way to win this game and take that baby home would be great.Here are some other things to watch Saturday:INJURY WATCHPenn State running back Saquon Barkley looks good to go Franklin. Hes been drinking a lot of milk all week and orange juice and vitamin C, Franklin said before turning to a reference from The Karate Kid. We flew in Mr. Miyagi, hit him on the ankle with the hands.The bigger question will be Wisconsin quarterback Alex Hornibrook, who left last weeks game with a head injury and is questionable. If Hornibrook plays, Chryst will likely use his starter and backup Bart Houston. Otherwise, Houston will have to win it. Wisconsin also lists defensive lineman Conor Sheehy (right arm) as questionable.GETTING DEFENSIVEIn an era where gaudy offensive numbers and high-scoring games have become the norm, these teams are throwbacks -- relying heavily on the run and stout defenses. Wisconsin leads the nation with 21 interceptions, 11 in the past three weeks. Penn State finished fourth in the Big Ten in total defense and hasnt allowed a touchdown in its last two games.BACK HOME AGAINIndiana has been a fertile ground for both teams recently. The Badgers have won eight straight regular-season games against Purdue and Indiana and won two of the first three title games in Indy. Penn State, meanwhile, is making its third trip to the state since Oct. 29 when they routed Purdue 62-24. Two weeks later, they hung on for a 45-31 victory at Indiana.GETTING CLOSE?Wisconsin won the Big Tens inaugural title game 42-39 in 2011 and Michigan State drove for a late score to beat Iowa 16-13 last year. In between, the games have been mostly blowouts. This time, at least on paper, it looks like a more evenly matched contest -- one that may whip the large crowd into a frenzy Saturday night.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25Nike Roshe Run Saldi .

From filmmaker Nanette Burstein (On the Ropes), The Price of Gold revisits the saga that rocked the figure skating world ahead of the 1994 Lillehammer Olympic Winter Games: the assault on Nancy Kerrigan, and the plot that led its way back to her rival Tonya Harding.Cooper Cronk is expecting his former Melbourne teammate and support coach David Kidwell to bring a new aggressive, passionate edge to the New Zealand rugby league team.Kidwell wont have had a month heading up the Kiwis when they take the field at nib Stadium in Perth on Saturday against the Kangaroos.He took over the Kiwis coaching gig from new Warriors mentor Stephen Kearney on September 15.But Cronk believes that is time enough for Kidwell to shape his team the way he wants.Coaches want to put their fingerprints on their football teams, Cronk saidYou look at Mal, he played with a lot of pride and passion in his career and that is what he has brought to the Australian team as coach.David Kidwell is one of the most passionate New Zealanders with the aggression he brought to their football team, he will bring the same thing as coach.You can determine New Zealands strengths: (Jesse) Bromwich, (Jared) Waerea-Hargreaves, (Adam) Blair, (Jason) TTaumalolo, (Kevin) Proctor, (Tohu) Harris all those guys are elite players in the NRL and they head up the New Zealand forward pack.ddddddddddddOn the back of that they allow (halfback Shaun) to do some special stuff.Probably the most indelible memory Kidwell has left league fans was his shoulder charge on Willie Mason, which left the Kangaroos prop with a black eye.And Cronk said Kidwell will leave his mark as a coach with the Kiwis.I have played with David and I have been coached by David and one thing I do know is that he idolises New Zealand sport, Cronk said.He is one very passionate Kiwi.You can see that in the way he speaks, in the way he played in that Kiwis jersey and the way he did the Haka during his playing career.So he is going to bring a dimension to that Kiwis team that not too many coaches have.
