NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - When No. 10 Oklahoma hosts 17th-ranked Florida State on Saturday, it'll be a reunion of sorts for the Stoops family. An unwanted reunion.

Bob Stoops is the head coach for the Sooners and his younger brother, Mark, is in his first year as defensive coordinator for the Seminoles.

The two who used to share a bedroom along with two other brothers growing up in Ohio will be playing against each other for the first time. Bob Stoops says he'd rather not play against one of his brothers, unless there's a national championship on the line.

While one of them would still have to lose, at least then the other would walk away with the title.
