It might be Greater Western Sydneys AFL home fortress but, on Saturday, Spotless Stadium belonged to the Western Bulldogs - and their fans.The red, blue and white faithful brought plenty of bite to the second preliminary final to witness their team put on a performance 55 years and 1212 games in the making.Not since 1961 has the club reached a season decider.They broke that drought in dramatic fashion at a venue where the Giants had won six of eight games this year, four of those by more than 60 points.From the moment the Giants ran out for their pre-match warm-up, they were roundly booed by Dogs fans, who made up at least half of the sold-out 25,790 crowd.The jeering continued in earnest every time former Dogs players Callan Ward and Ryan Griffen touched the ball.Even when Ward briefly returned to the bench following a sickening second-quarter blow to the head, he was the recipient of crowd vitriol.The on-field niggle was just as heated, with punches regularly thrown and players taking every opportunity for a bit of biff.GWS vice-captain Heath Shaw and Bulldogs midfielder Tom Liberatore gave each other a good roughing up in the first quarter, while feisty ruckman Shane Mumford became the enemy of just about every foe who crossed his path.But Luke Beveridges battlers, who finished seventh on the regular-season ladder, had already vanquished both of last years grand finalists en route to this match.Not willing to leave without locking in the clubs third-only grand-final berth, the Dogs hunted and hounded the Giants at every turn, ultimately outpressuring them despite a third-quarter comeback during which the hosts slotted four goals to one.One away from an unlikely premiership, Bulldogs fans will take their vocal chords to the MCG next Saturday to play Sydney for the flag.Its been 1212 games since their last grand final, AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan said before the match.It will not only put to bed the past seven lost preliminary finals; it will not only carry the hopes of their passionate fans - they will carry the support of most Victorians at the MCG next week.

Its as good as it gets.West Virginia (8-2, 5-2, No. 14 CFP) was eliminated from the conference race.

Were right where we want to be right now.West Virginia: With a chance to make a statement against the first ranked team theyve faced this season, the Mountaineers came out flat on both sides of the ball and never recovered.I dont know if it was too big of a game and too much hype into it that our guys just ... I dont know, West Virginia defensive coordinator Tony Gibson said. I dont know if everybody was just trying to make a play instead of playing defense.TURNOVERS APLENTYWest Virginia made too many errors to give itself a chance. After the opening series, Gary Jennings couldnt handle a punt in a swirling wind that may have hit a teammate first. Oklahoma recovered at the Mountaineers 34 and eventually scored.Crawford and Howard fumbled the ball away inside the Oklahoma 5 on consecutive second-quarter series. The Sooners went the length of the field to score touchdowns after both turnovers.Oklahomas Jordan Evans returned an interception 80 yards for a touchdown early in the third quarter. A week ago he had two interceptions in a win over Baylor.POLL IMPLICATIONSOklahoma: The Sooners might move up in the AP poll , although No. 3 Louisville was the only team ahead of them to lose.West Virginia: The Mountaineers will drop out of the Top 10.UP NEXT:Oklahoma: Bedlam on Dec. 3.
