Tuscaloosa, AL (Sportsbooks) - Glen Coffee ran for 144 yards and a TD on 20 carries and Mark Ingram scored twice and ran for 64 yards as top-ranked Alabama kept its national title hopes alive with a convincing 36-0 win against Auburn in the annual Iron Bowl rivalry game. John Parker Wilson completed 8- of-16 pass attempts for 134 yards and a TD to Nikita Stover while Greg McElroy also saw time under center and completed both his passes for 44 yards with a TD to Marquis Maze as Alabama (12-0, 8-0 SEC) ran its winning streak to 13 games dating back to last season, the longest for the program since 1994. The Crimson Tide will face a red-hot Florida Gators squad in the SEC title game next Saturday. Kodi Burns hit on just 9-of-23 pass attempts for 113 yards while Mario Fannin led both the ground game with 28 yards and the receiving efforts with three catches for 44 yards for the Tigers (5-7, 2-6), who had won the last six meetings with the Crimson Tide, the second-longest run by either team in the series. The Crimson Tide defense registered its second shutout of the season and held Auburn to 170 total yards of offense.
Final Score: (2) Florida 45, (23) Florida State 15
Tallahassee, FL (Sportsbooks) - Tim Tebow threw for 185 yards and three touchdowns, and ran for another score, as second-ranked Florida continued its dominant play with a 45-15 victory over No. 23 Florida State. Tebow, who was 12-of-21 passing, finished with 80 yards on the ground on 16 attempts, while Jeffery Demps ran for 89 yards and a score for the Gators (11-1), who have won eight straight games, and won all of them by at least 28 points. Florida will take that winning streak into the SEC title game next Saturday against top-ranked Alabama, a contest that has national title implications. But the Gators may have to do so without star wide receiver Percy Harvin, who suffered a sprained right ankle in the second quarter of Saturday's contest. Graham Gano had three field goals for the Seminoles (8-4), who had trouble moving the football against the Florida defense. The Seminoles had fewer total yards (242) than the Gators had rushing (317). Christian Ponder completed just 5-of-14 passes for 60 yards and was intercepted twice, while Drew Weatherford went 4-for-15 passing for 61 yards. Jermaine Thomas, who ran for 37 yards, had Florida State's only touchdown.
Final Score: (3) Oklahoma 61, (11) Oklahoma State 41
Stillwater, OK (Sportsbooks) - Sam Bradford threw for 370 yards and four touchdowns, while rushing for another score, as third-ranked Oklahoma beat No. 11 Oklahoma State, 61-41, setting the table for the BCS to decide the Big 12 South division champion. Chris Brown ran for 98 yards and a pair of touchdowns for the Sooners (11-1, 7-1 Big 12), who finished in a tie with Texas and Texas Tech in the conference. Either the Longhorns or Sooners will play in the Big 12 championship game. With Texas Tech's victory earlier Saturday over Baylor, an Oklahoma victory means the Big 12 South division will be decided by Sunday's BCS rankings. The division winner will go on to play Missouri in next Saturday's title game. Bradford completed 30-of-44 passes and Jermaine Gresham had nine catches for 158 yards and two scores to give Oklahoma its sixth straight win in the Bedlam Series in what proved to be the highest scoring contest in the rivalry's history. Zac Robinson connected on 17-of-26 passes for 254 yards with three TDs and an interception for the Cowboys (9-3, 5-3), who failed to secure their first undefeated home season since 1984.
Final Score: (5) Southern California 38, Notre Dame 3
Los Angeles, CA (Sportsbooks) - Mark Sanchez tossed for 267 yards and two touchdowns, as the fifth-ranked Southern California Trojans laid the whipping stick on Notre Dame once again with a 38-3 drubbing in the 80th meeting between the storied programs. Joe McKnight led a balanced rushing attack with 63 yards and a touchdown on just four carries, while C.J. Gable and Stafon Johnson each added a score on the ground for USC (10-1), which has won eight straight games and got some help in its Pac-10 title quest as Oregon stomped rival Oregon State, 65-38, Saturday. The Beavers and Trojans each held 7-1 conference records coming into Saturday's action, and the former held the tie-breaker with a 27-21 upset of USC earlier in the year. But with the Ducks' win, USC can wrap up the Pac-10 with a victory over UCLA next weekend. The USC defense would simply not allow the Irish to get rolling, as they allowed 91 total yards, four first downs and registered two interceptions off Fighting Irish quarterback Jimmy Clausen, who finished with 41 passing yards on 11-of-22 passes. James Aldridge was the only notable offensive threat with 58 yards on 12 carries for Notre Dame (6-6), which dropped four of its final five games to end another disappointing regular season, low-lighted by a 24-23 loss to Syracuse a week ago, the program's first-ever defeat to an eight-loss team.
Final Score: (7) Texas Tech 35, Baylor 28
Lubbock, TX (Sportsbooks) - Graham Harrell threw two touchdown passes, including a four-yard score to Detron Lewis with 6:14 remaining in regulation, as seventh-ranked Texas Tech overcame a lethargic start and scored the final 21 points to overtake pesky Baylor, 35-28. Harrell, a finalist for the Maxwell Award, given annually to the nation's best all-around player, completed 41- of-50 passes for 309 yards and had an interception for the Red Raiders (11-1, 7-1 Big 12), who clinched at least a share of the Big 12 South title. Oklahoma defeated Oklahoma State, 61-41, on Saturday, meaning the South title will be determined by the BCS standings. Texas Tech entered the week seventh in the BCS while Texas was second and Oklahoma third, meaning the Red Raiders will not get a chance to play in the championship game against Missouri next Saturday. Lewis finished with 68 yards on nine receptions, while peerless Michael Crabtree made nine grabs for 63 yards before leaving in the second quarter with a right ankle injury. Robert Griffin ran for a pair of touchdowns and threw for another score, as Baylor (4-8, 2-6) wrapped up the regular season by losing five of its last six games. Griffin gained 99 yards on the ground and finished with 91 yards on 12-of-15 passing, including a costly interception in the fourth quarter that led to the winning touchdown.
Final Score: Kansas 40, (12) Missouri 37
Kansas City, MO (Sportsbooks) - Todd Reesing threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Kerry Meier on fourth down with 27 seconds remaining, as Kansas pulled out a 40-37 victory over 12th-ranked Missouri in the regular-season finale for both teams at Arrowhead Stadium. Missouri (9-3, 5-3 Big 12), already headed to the Big 12 title game next week as the winner of the North Division, had a chance to tie it in the closing seconds, but Jeff Wolfert's 54-yard field goal try was partially blocked and came up well short in snowy conditions. Reesing completed 37-of-51 passes for 375 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions in the wild contest that featured four lead changes in the final seven minutes of the fourth quarter. Meier finished with 14 catches for 106 yards and two scores, while Dezmon Briscoe hauled in nine passes for 115 yards with a touchdown for Kansas (7-5, 4-4). Chase Daniel connected on 25- of-41 passes for 288 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions in defeat. He also ran for 103 yards on nine carries, while Jeremy Maclin totaled 241 all-purpose yards with nine catches for 123 yards, three carries for 32 and four kickoff returns for 86.
Final Score: (18) Georgia Tech 45, (13) Georgia 42
Athens, GA (Sportsbooks) - Roddy Jones carried the ball 13 times for 214 yards and two scores, as 18th-ranked Georgia Tech rallied in the second half to down 13th-ranked Georgia, 45-42, in a Peach State battle at Sanford Stadium. Jonathan Dwyer had 20 carries for 144 yards and two scores and Lucas Cox added a rushing touchdown for the Yellow Jackets (9-3), who won three of their last four games to close out the regular season. It was a hollow victory for Georgia Tech, though, as the team was denied a spot in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game since Virginia Tech defeated Virginia, 17-14, on Saturday. However, Georgia Tech did snap a seven-game losing streak to Georgia. Matthew Stafford went 24-for-39 with 407 yards, five touchdowns and one interceptions while Mohamed Massaquoi caught 11 passes for 180 yards and three scores for the Bulldogs (9-3), who had won five of six coming into the game.
Final Score: (16) Cincinnati 30, Syracuse 10
Cincinnati, OH (Sportsbooks) - Tony Pike threw for 272 yards and a pair of touchdowns, as 16th-ranked Cincinnati captured the outright Big East title with a 30-10 victory over Syracuse at Nippert Stadium. John Goebel added 67 rushing yards and a score for the Bearcats (10-2, 6-1 Big East), who were assured of at least a share of the conference title and the league's automatic BCS berth when West Virginia lost to Pittsburgh on Friday. Pike completed 28-of-44 passes, including 11 to Mardy Gilyard, who finished with 114 yards receiving. Jacob Ramsey and Kazeem Alli hauled in the scoring passes for Cincinnati, which is likely headed to the Orange Bowl or Sugar Bowl. The Greg Robinson-era came to a merciful close at Syracuse (3-9, 1-6), which gave the outgoing coach his most significant win in four years at the school last week at Notre Dame. Robinson finished 10-37 with the Orange, who earlier this month announced the decision to make a change. Cam Dantley completed a mere 6-of-23 passes for 59 yards with a touchdown for Syracuse, while Curtis Brinkley was held to just 60 yards on 16 carries. The Orange managed only 211 total yards and eight first downs, while the Bearcats finished with 412 yards and 25 first downs.
Final Score: (19) Oregon 65, (17) Oregon State 38
Corvallis, OR (Sportsbooks) - Jeremiah Johnson ran for 219 yards and a touchdown on just 17 carries, and Jeremiah Masoli threw three TDs and ran for another as the 19th-ranked Oregon Ducks handed 17th-ranked Oregon State a 65-38 thrashing that also crushed the Beavers' bid for an outright Pac-10 championship and Rose Bowl berth. The Ducks (9-3, 7-2 Pac-10) seemingly scored at will and racked up an eye-popping 694 yards of total offense to keep alive an outside shot to earn a share of the Pac-10 title. Oregon would need USC to lose in its finale against UCLA, creating a three-way tie atop the standings. The Trojans logged a 38-3 win over Notre Dame Saturday. Masoli was 11-of-17 for 274 yards and ran for 53 yards on 12 carries. LeGarrette Blount ran for 112 yards on 17 carries while scoring once for Oregon , which made the 112th installment in what is known as the "Civil War" its third straight win and fifth in its last six games overall. Lyle Moevao had a career-high five touchdown passes on 27-of-51 attempts and 374 yards but also had two interceptions that resulted in 14 Oregon points. Shane Morales had five catches for 68 yards and two scores while Sammie Stroughter grabbed seven balls for 145 yards for the Beavers (8-4, 7-2), who were aiming for their first Rose Bowl appearance since 1965. OSU also had its six-game winning streak snapped in dramatic fashion and also lost for the first time at home in nine games.
Final Score: (20) Boston College 28, Maryland 21
Chestnut Hill, MA (Sportsbooks) - Redshirt freshman Dominique Davis, filling in for injured starter Chris Crane, tossed two touchdowns to lead No. 20 Boston College to 28-21 victory over the Maryland Terrapins, clinching the ACC Atlantic Division title for the Eagles. Davis, who orchestrated a game-winning drive over Wake Forest after Crane suffered a broken collar bone last week, threw for 134 yards on 12-of-24 passes for Boston College (9-3, 5-3 ACC), which has rattled off four straight wins and will face Virginia Tech in the ACC championship game on December 6. Montel Harris logged 116 yards on 25 carries, while Rich Gunnell caught three passes for a team-high 78 yards and a score for the Eagles. Chris Turner finished with 360 passing yards on 33-of-57 efficiency with two touchdowns while rushing for another, but he was picked off twice in the loss for Maryland (7-5, 4-4), which dropped three of its final four regular season contests. Torrey Smith and Danny Oquendo each caught a touchdown in addition to 115 and 111 receiving yards, respectively, but the Terrapins were held to a pathetic minus-six yards rushing compared to BC's 175 on the ground.
