If you get your hands on the company lear jet, here are the places you want to put into the flight plan this weekend.

1. No. 13 Arkansas at No. 25 Alabama
By the numbers:
Arkansas: 18-6, 3-3 SEC, RPI No. 32
Bama: 18-8, 5-1 SEC, RPI No. 36
Since giving up 32 runs in a three-game stretch at the end of Feburary/beginning of March, the Tide went on a 14-3 run where they gave up more than five runs in a game only once. And speaking of solid pitching, the Hogs got that in spades last weekend, holding Vanderbilt to just seven runs in three games. The problem was the offense was completely handcuffed, held to four runs, 15 hits and struck out 29 times. Yikes. But the Razorbacks won't face a Vandy-like pitching staff this week, at least not quite. Still, Friday ace Nathan Kilcrease has been the man for Bama, including last week's complete game shutout of Kentucky.
Key matchup: D.J. Baxendale vs. Bama bats. The versatile Razorback right-handed flinger already has five wins, two saves, a 1.65 ERA and a win over Vanderbilt All-American Sonny Gray. Wow. If the Hogs get any kind of lead, he's the shut-em-down type that can make life miserable for the opponents. Especially for the Tide, who hit just .293 and also have a knack of going quiet at the dish at the wrong time.

2. No. 20 Oregon State at No. 17 Arizona
OSU: 18-6, 5-1 Pac 10, No. 30 RPI
UA: 18-7, 3-3 Pac 10, No. 66 RPI
OK, it's time we find out about this Arizona team here. Sure, they won a game at Arizona State last week, but they still dropped a series to their hated rivals. Since it's after adversity you find out how much character a team has, it's time to see if they can put together a good rebound weekend against a really good Beaver squad that has earned raves the last few weeks with the battery of Sam Gaviglio and Andrew Susac being one of the best in the country.
Key matchup: Sam Gaviglio vs. Kurt Heyer. The numbers don't lie: Gaviglio is 5-0, 0.39 and Heyer is 4-1, 1.33. This is the battle of aces in the country for this weekend. In fact, the UA administration should probably charge twice the price at Sancet Stadium for this one, even though it could be one of those one and a half hour games. Gaviglio finally gave up his first two earned runs of the season last weekend (c'mon, it had to happen sometime). And Heyer is a strikeout machine, with 60 Ks in 47.2 innings, good for second in the Pac-10.

3. Ole Miss at No. 16 LSU
Ole Miss: 18-7, 3-3 SEC, No. 13 RPI
LSU: 17-7, 1-5 SEC, No. 42 RPI
Paul Mainieri was pretty curled about his team's play in getting swept in two games at Georgia on Sunday. I believe something called the "Riot Act" was read aloud. Young teams like that tend to go two directions after a bad early weekend: by breathing fire out of its nostrils, or by cowering in the corner like a sick kitten. Ole Miss has had a bumpy ride so far, losing to most of the good teams it has faced and playing one too many close games against teams they should rout. But this is the Rebels chance to plant a flag in the dirt and make an official "we're back" proclamation. If LSU loses or is swept, the Tigers could start shuffling the deck for the "wait'll next year" card. (I know, let's not get too dramatic here, this isn't reality TV).
Key matchup: The Tigers vs. their own psyche. I hate to belabor the point, but losing streaks tend to compound daily on a young team. And with the memory of last year's horrible dog days of April and May still in the memory bank, the Tigers can't afford to trip over their own lip now. The other thing that can start to pile on a young team's mind? Errors. LSU has the 12th rated defense in the SEC at .960 fielding percentage. Better tighten up here boys.

4. No. 23 Clemson at No. 6 North Carolina
Clemson: 14-9, 4-5 ACC, No. 11 RPI
UNC: 23-4, 7-2 ACC, No. 4 RPI
The Tigers have slipped a little recently, losing three of their last four weekends including last week's surprising upset at NC State in which the once-potent offense earned just six runs in 27 innings. It's weird to see that talents like Jeff Schaus, Chris Epps, John Hinson and Will Lamb came out of last weekend hitting under .300. Meanwhile, the Heels have been quietly going about their merry way putting the beatdown on some lesser ACC opponents (although don't forget in opening weekend they beat Fullerton.) and making people wonder whether that incredible start is for real. We'll know more about UNC after this weekend, but I have a feeling that coach Mike Fox is certainly a sly one and could have something cooked up here.
Key matchup: Colin Moran vs. the Tiger rotation. The Tigers have changed up their pitching rotation, but not a lot seems to be working for them. In their last 11 weekend games, they haven't had a starter pitch into the 8th inning and only twice did they start the 7th still on the mound. If super-frosh Colin Moran (.367, 5 HRs) gets cranked up and helps make for more early exits off the mound for the Clemson starters, the Tigers could find themselves toiling close to the .500 mark after Sunday.

5. Tennessee at No. 3 Florida
UT: 18-6, 2-4 SEC, No. 73
UF: 21-5, 4-2 SEC, No. 1
Not everyone is sold on the Volunteers and their 18-6 start. I mean there is that whole strength of schedule being down at No. 242 and all. So here you go guys, time to prove everyone wrong. You have to wonder how the Gators' stamina is holding up, being part of another big marquee matchup in the SEC for the third week in a row. We saw how South Carolina was able to shut down that wicked offense of theirs, but the Vols don't have a Michael Roth or Matt Price to throw out there. No offense Vols -- feel free to make me eat crow.
Key matchup: The fleet-feet of the Vols order vs. Mike Zunino. I know, going into the Miami series, I had the same key matchup with Zunino vs. the Canes base-stealers. But his presence behind the dish neutralized the Hurricane run game, as they stole only two bases in four attempts that weekend. If Khayyan Norfork (.452, 19 SBs) and Andrew Toles (.313, 13 SBs) can get on base and get good jumps, it could spark the Volunteers offense and lead to a big upset. If Zunino gets the cannon cranked, it's over. Especially since the Vols won't be used to playing against this kind of talent.

6. Oregon at No. 9 Arizona State
UO: 14-9, 0-0 Pac 10, No. 76 RPI
ASU: 18-6, 2-1 Pac 10, No. 9 RPI
If you're already down there in the desert for the Beavers and Wildcats, you might as well drive the two hours up to Tempe and see if those Ducks can put themselves back in the headlines with a win or two here. They've been road-tested the nth degree already this season, going to Hawaii, Long Beach State and San Diego, along with a home stand against Wichita State. The Devils counter with renewed enthusiasm after last week's series win over rival Arizona. Oregon leads the Pac-10 with 234 Ks as a unit, while the Devils counter with a high-speed, high-pressure offense that has stolen a Pac-10-best 48 bases and has 12 triples.

7. Oklahoma State at Nebraska
OSU: 19-6, 3-3 Big 12, No. 47 RPI
Nebraska: 17-9, 1-2 Big 12, No. 100 RPI
Well, this could be one way to find out if the Cowboys' series win against Texas was a fluke or not: send them to the northernmost outpost in the Big 12 and see if they can handle the tough environment of Big Redland. Something tells me they will, though it'll require plenty of bumps, a few scrapes and a tetanous shot. Both teams hit in the low .300s offensively, but OSU pitches much better with a team ERA of 2.18, compared to NU's 3.57. Also, watch for Cowboy catalyst Dane Phillips, who is hitting .419 with seven triples already. That's fast.

8. No. 22 Southern Miss at UCF
USM: 18-5, 2-1 CUSA, No. 8 RPI
UCF: 19-6, 2-1 CUSA, No. 28 RPI
Ah the Terry Rooney factor. It's finally starting to kick in here people. After pulling in a few great recruiting classes at Central Florida, we're starting to see big results on the field. Up until now, the Knights have had blowout wins over Bethune-Cookman and Alabama and salvaging a series with a Sunday win over Rice. Now is the time to see if they're ready for another big step up. These are the two best offenses in Conference USA (.317 and .312 respectively), but the Knights do two things a lot better, they pressure their opponents into submission (44 steals) and they bear down on the mound (CUSA-low 59 walks, 200 Ks). But never forget USM's Collin Cargill factor (10 appearances, 1-1, 0.93, four saves).

9. Stephen F. Austin at Texas State
SFA: 18-7, 8-1 Southland, No. 160 RPI
TSU: 17-6, 8-1 Southland, No. 15 RPI
This is essentially the third straight showdown weekend for the Bobcats, having played Southland contenders Sam Houston and Lamar the last two weeks, going 5-1 combined. Can their stamina hold up to another high-pressure series? The Lumberjacks come in confident, though their eight wins came against three of the weeker SLC teams in Central Arkansas, Northwestern State and Nicholls State. Still, that RPI number isn't a misprint, if the Jacks are going to make some waves and play for the SLC title, this is where the big axe starts to fall.

10. Liberty at Coastal Carolina
LU: 15-11, 5-1 Big South, No. 93 RPI
CC: 15-10, 1-2 Big South, No. 112 RPI
I know, you're just like me, wondering what has happened to Coastal so far this year. The Chanticleers went out west and got swept at Pepperdine, then lost the opening weekend of Big South play at UNC Asheville. Really? Here's how it looks in a nutshell, they're pitching well again (2.89 ERA, .223 opponents average), but the hitting is -- are you sitting down? -- the worst in the Big South at .241. Wow. The Flames can get some revenge here after last year's sweep at the hands of the Chants cost them an NCAA tournament appearance.
