NEW ORLEANS (AP) 17-14 victory over Oklahoma Saturday quickened pulses on the Sugar Bowl selection committee increasing the chances that the 44-year-old bowl might land the top-ranked college football power As it now stands Georgia and Alabama are tied for the SEC crown Should they finish the season deadlocked Georgia would be the Sugar Bowl host because Alabama has been to the bowl more recently- Nebraska barring an upset by Missouri will be the Big Eight representative to the Orange Bowl That puts Oklahoma top- rated until upset into the running for a Sugar Bowl berth But victory probably also means that Penn State an independent will move up to No 1 in the polls opening the possibility that the Sugar Bowl could land the only undefeated big name school as the other half of the Jan 1
